VUB50
Hey, bit of a mutant cross here.
Wigan Pier goes Bluegrass? Whatever, the already
hugely
comprehensive Vintage range of folk instruments,
guitars and so on, now includes - the Ukulele
Banjo! Looks kinda sweet too, thanks to an 8”
Remo head, with a maple bridge, mounted on a double
edge-bound resonator rim made from an attractively
dark stained nato wood. The nylon strung VUB50
also uses a nato neck with a rosewood fingerboard.
Featuring natty die-cast rear-facing banjo machines
with shaped, pearl effect buttons, the Vintage
Ukulele Banjo has an extremely uke-like cute scale
length of 328mm! |

VUK20N
Small in physical size maybe, but the fun element
in this cheerful little instrument is big. The
single octave fretboard means that you only
have to learn a few chords, and you’re
on your way!
VUK15N
The upswing in 'uke' popularity has seen the
highly entertaining ukulele become the 'must
have' instrument to keep around – the
Vintage Soprano is definitely one instrument
that puts the much-missed 'fun factor' back
in music.
