Harley Benton BJU-15Pro Banjo Ukulele

Must admit to being more than pleasantly surprised when I opened my latest package from Thomas, a Harley Benton BJU15-PRO Banjo Ukulele. This Ukulele has features on it that are on a par with other Banjo Ukes more than three times its price. It will definitely accompany me at all my gigs. The sound it very good, the resonator doing its job extremely well, (so much so it can be heard next door, think my next purchase will be a mute!) on a par with some of my more expensive and antique Banjo Ukes, let it be said I think the great George Formby would have had fun on this Uke. My Uke instructor Phil Doleman, also commented (google him for more info), remarked for the price (don't let this put you off) what an excellent job it does. As for Thomas from order to delivery Germany to UK in 3 1/2 days, thats going some. Allied to this the excellent guarantee package, just makes one think, thank my lucky stars I chose Thomann, so much so all my future musical purchases will be from Thomann, can't recommend them enough. Whats not to like about this Uke absolutely nothing, purchase it with confidence, you won't regret it one iota.

As others have said, this banjolele is fantastic value for money. The build and quality compares to instruments 2 or 3 times this price. I think other reviews have covered all the features and technical details. I wanted to give a shout out to the Thomann team and the Customer Service. Comms were excellent throughout and delivery times were amazing (I'm in the UK), especially during the current pandemic. I have had deliveries from within the UK that have taken longer from the point of sale/order! I ordered 2 items and 1 wasn't in stock so the Thomann team arranged a split delivery and the in-stock item was delivered super quickly. They kept me informed of the other item and as soon as it was in stock that was dispatched as well. I can not fault the service from Thomann and will definitely be using them again, whether its for another instrument or other large purchase, or accessories and smaller items. First impressions mean a lot and my first dealing with Thomann was impressive so I'll be returning to a trusted seller for my next purchase. Thanks guys.

this is a beautiful instrument set up very good too,ive played much more expensive ones than this and theyre not as good,dont listen to negative reviews as your not paying a lot of money but you do get a lot of instrument,i did change strings to living water strings but thats my preference,also when you do change strings put nylon ones on and itll make it sounds better and less harsh,ive played all stringed instruments for years and this is a good banjolele,snobs will say that you get what you pay for.....well i challenge anyone to not say it should be 2 or 3 times more money,i will say that i did have to file the fret ends they were ok but i do like mine silky smooth,so grab one with its all maple body which is the correct tonewood and youll not be dissappointed.

Plays lovely, sounds great and looks fantastic. It is just a very nice instrument it feels quality. I've played on a few Harley Benton instruments and have always been very impressed by the quality especially for the the price points. The Harley Benton BJU-15Pro Banjo Ukulele is no exception. Also, it has great potential for future upgrades, if I really wanted to fine tune this thing I could easily change the skin and peripherals, but there's really no need. It was great out of the box, I simply stretched the strings in positioned the bridge and got playing. Great fun instrument and what a beaut!

I've just received my new Harley Benton BJU-15Pro banjolele and I am delighted with it. Much better sound quality than I had expected. The quality is excellent with real brass trim holding the mahogany resonator, which gives it that real old fashion George Formby look and sound. It is not too heavy and there are plenty of special straps to fit on with clips, but I have used a spare Nikon camera strap and that fits a treat. The Uke arrived earlier than expected, even though I live on the Isle of Wight in the UK and packed extremely well. I have a lot of trust with Thomann as they have never let me down yet.

I was looking to buy an instrument to help with my rehabilitation after a brain injury, learning the ukulele was suggested. after looking and listening to reviews on youtube this banjolele seemed the one for me.
I wasn't disappointed when it arrived, which was two weeks early. it was well packaged with a tool for doing adjustments. The quality of the instrument reminds me of ones I looked at that were twice the price of this one.
Pros,
build quality, sound and over all feel of the instrument.
Cons,
A guide to setting up the bridge would have been helpful.

overall I am very pleased with the banjolele and I am going to enjoy learning to play it. I would recommend buying this instrument if you have any feelings about wanting a fun instrument to learn. the only thing I regret is not buying a gig bag when I placed my order, but that has been rectified now as that is my next purchase.
