The Gold Tone BUS is the soprano voice of Gold Tone's banjo ukulele family, and the soprano scale is the one with the history: at 13-1/2 inches, this is the traditional banjo uke size, the compact, punchy instrument of the 1920s jazz age, and the scale most ukulele players' hands already know. If you want the classic banjo uke experience in its original proportions, this is the one.

This instrument is brand new and ships in original packaging.

This instrument is professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, Florida and ships directly from Gold Tone.
