Step Back in Time: Kala Black Maple Banjo Concert Ukulele

Transport yourself to the golden age of American music with the Kala Black Maple Banjo Concert Ukulele (KA-BNJ-BK-C), a stunning recreation that captures the spirit and sound of the iconic banjoleles from the roaring 1920s and 1930s. This fan-favorite from Kala's celebrated Americana Series faithfully honors the era when banjoleles were at the absolute height of their popularity, gracing vaudeville stages, jazz clubs, and parlor rooms across America. The instrument delivers that distinctive twangy tone that defined an entire musical generation, beautifully mellowed by modern nylon strings that provide the perfect balance between authentic character and contemporary playability. This remarkable fusion creates a sound that's both nostalgically familiar and refreshingly accessible, making it ideal for traditional folk music, modern fingerpicking styles, and everything in between.

Meticulously crafted with premium components that honor traditional banjo construction while incorporating modern reliability, this banjolele represents the perfect marriage of vintage aesthetics and contemporary quality. The heart of the instrument features a professional Remo Weatherking® Banjo Head that delivers authentic banjo projection and resonance, while the five-ply maple shell construction provides the structural integrity and tonal clarity that serious musicians demand. The striking black matte finish gives the maple shell a sophisticated, timeless appearance that looks equally at home in vintage-inspired performances or modern musical settings. The mahogany neck ensures comfortable playability and structural stability, while the walnut fingerboard adds warmth and smoothness to the playing experience. With 18 frets and a 15.5-inch scale length, players have access to an extended range that surpasses many traditional banjos, opening up new musical possibilities while maintaining the authentic banjolele character.
