Sad About Missing Out On A DUKE10?

Show It To Me!

Jamie And His Sons

the duke10 banjolele - improved, evolved, unique & loved!

So Light You Will Be Amazed!

The first thing you will notice when you take your new banjolele out of it's colorful gig bag is that it is SUPER LIGHT! 

In fact, we don't know of another banjo uke that is this light.

Only 2lbs (1kg). That's nothing like some of the 4lb monsters out there!

Take A Listen

No More Sore Arms!

It is not nice to have the metal tension hooks digging into your arm, so every DUKE10 has a well placed and very comfortable armrest.

The armrest also keeps your arm off the drum head, which avoids unnecessary muting., and we don't know of any other banjolele on the market with an armrest fitted as standard!

No More Breaking Strings

If you are sick of breaking strings at the tailpiece, the DUKE10 will be your savior.

Most other banjo ukuleles tie-off the strings under the metal tailpiece. Needless to say, nylon strings and sharp metal edges do not mix well!

To fix the this problem, we designed a simple 'smooth-edge' tailpiece. Now your strings will never break at the tail because they tie-off behind the wooden drum, not the metal.

Change Your Tone with the Adjustable Drum Head

Use the (included) tension key to tighten or loosen the drum head.

Tightening it to be hard to the touch will give you a very bright sound. You will get good note distinction, but less bass response. 

Loosening it to be softer to the touch results in a warmer, less bright, or plunkier sound.

This puts you in charge of how you want your DUKE10 to sound.

Make Tuning A Breeze

They may look like traditional friction pegs, but they are actually planetary geared tuners.

Tuning is a whole lot easier. They are very smooth to turn and hold the strings in tune very well.

Happy DUKE10 owners love these tuners!

Nice Low Strings, Forever!

Over time, the distance of the strings from the fingerboard of a banjo ukulele can increase. This makes it harder to press your fingers down when playing chords.

It happens for a variety of reasons but the main one being movement of the neck.

To remove this issue once and for all the DUKE10 has a one-piece neck - a rigid spine of sorts. So when your get your new banjo uke, the strings will be at the right height with everything in alignment. The best part is that it stays that way forever!
