The Luna Uke Concert Banjolele 8" Ulu Design Acoustic Ukulele is a unique fusion of the banjo and ukulele, offering a distinctive sound that will enrich your musical performances. Crafted with a mahogany back, this instrument showcases intricate etchings inspired by traditional Hawaiian quilt designs, adding a touch of cultural heritage to its aesthetic appeal.

The C-shaped mahogany neck is complemented by a smooth rosewood fingerboard, featuring 21 frets and a 15.5" soprano scale, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable playing experience. Tuned like a concert ukulele, this Banjolele delivers a unique tonal blend, adding a new dimension to your music.

The etched patterns on the back of Luna's banjoleles pay homage to the artistry of early Hawaiian quilt-making. In the 1800s, missionaries introduced woven fabrics and steel needles to the Hawaiian people, who adapted these tools to create their own unique patchwork quilts. The designs were crafted from a single piece of fabric, folded in a manner similar to paper snowflake creation, and were inspired by the diverse flora of the Hawaiian islands.

Luna has specifically chosen the KALO (taro plant) as the inspiration for this Banjolele's design, as this plant held a sacred and essential role in early Hawaiian life. The Luna Uke Concert Banjolele 8" Ulu Design Acoustic Ukulele, with its Tobacco Burst finish, is more than just a musical instrument - it's a piece of art that tells a story. If you're a ukulele enthusiast looking to broaden your musical horizons, this Banjo Ukulele is the perfect instrument to explore.
