Budget?

.....................

Okay, since I have been asked to lengthen this message, let me just say that with both "mother-in-law" and "banjo" present, we have here all the necessary ingredients for a truly cornball joke. Which I will refrain from inventing.

Gold Tone Little Gem---comes in different colors.

Magic Fluke Firefly

Outdoor Uke

I would add that these are on the lower cost end of the spectrum. There are other higher quality choices as well.

Deering and Kala make banjo uke's as well. Gold Tone and Recording King also make more traditional style banjo ukes. I hear good things about the Deering instruments.

I have played but do not own a Gold Tone Little Gem, for the entry level cost it certainly has that loud banjo sound. I think I'd rather have a banjo with a skin head.
