Where two worlds meet

Harley Benton BJU-15Pro banjo ukulele

For those torn between a banjo and a ukulele - or who simply love exploring new stringed instruments - the Harley Benton BJU-15Pro banjo ukulele provides the perfect blend of the two. Combining the best of both worlds, this unique instrument not only looks stylish but also features a louder, crisper, and more assertive sound than a traditional ukulele, ensuring that the player will stand out at any gathering. For those seeking a distinctive tone, the BJU-15Pro boasts Harley Benton's renowned craftsmanship at an affordable price, featuring a brass-coloured rim, maple headstock veneer, and rosewood binding for an elegant touch.

The body of the Harley Benton BJU-15Pro banjo ukulele

Solid craftsmanship

The Harley Benton BJU-15Pro's rich acoustic sound comes from its closed-back maple rim paired with an 8" Remo BJ-0800-M2 head. Complementing this is a maple neck, finished in a natural dark matte varnish like the rim body, and a blackwood fingerboard with 19 frets, while twelve tension rods secure and tighten the head. At the BJU-15Pro's bottom end, the strings are anchored by a brass-coloured tailpiece with a dedicated tension screw, before passing over a maple/blackwood bridge and, at the other end, through a 35mm-wide graphite nut. The four vintage-style open-gear machine heads on the headstock in turn ensure reliable tuning and add a striking visual touch.

A slightly different uke...

For those who find the sound of a traditional ukulele too soft, quiet, or ordinary - or wish to protect their main instrument from excessive wear - the Harley Benton BJU-15Pro banjo ukulele offers a compelling alternative. With a 15.4" scale length and 19 easily accessible frets, the BJU-10 model provides a smooth transition for traditional ukulele players. Given the affordable price, this unique instrument is an excellent choice for those eager to explore the distinctive sound or add something a little out of the ordinary to their ukulele setup.

Prima prijs/kwaliteit verhouding!
PeeVee 21.04.2017
Ik wilde thuis wat country tunes pingelen, deze Banjolele leent zich daar uitstekend voor. Voor dit bedrag kun je niet veel verwachten, maar toch is het een verbluffend mooi instrument. De klank is goed en behoorlijk hard door de resonator (die kun je er eventueel ook afhalen!). Ik heb de nylon snaren vervangen door normale metalen banjo snaren, dat klinkt nog wat harder en metaliger, de sound die ik zoek. Complimenten!

Nice build quality and setup
Sjefque 24.08.2025
Pretty impressed by this for the money. Action real nice, no sharp frets. I like the fat neck. Nice brass and wood colours.

Soundwise I think it’s pretty dull actually, I was expecting a lot more brightness. Maybe it’s the nylon strings. Removing the back cover helps a little bit.
I find setting intonation at the bridge is really difficult on this shortscale instrument. Using a headstock tuner isn’t really convenient. It also took a while for the strings to settle and they keep ‘pinging’ , which I think comes from the bridge slots, while it’s usually something for the nut.

Then there are these weird overtones which I mostly got rid of by placing a rolledup sock between the iron beam and remo head. I tried a (much more expensive) Gold Tone BU-1 in another store and it had these intonation and overtone ‘issues’ also. After playing that one for a while, I really enjoy that the BJu-15Pro comes with an arm rest!

One thing I regret is not buying the combination-deal with the included gigbag. But all in all, after some tinkering I decided to keep it and am happy with it!

Nice solide Resonator Ukulele
Piggelmee 09.08.2018
Tuned it in open G, 'cause I'm not much of an ukulele player. And changed the nylon strings for steel ones. Play and you will be heard.

de A snaar klonk niet helemaal door, nieuwe snaren erop gezet en het probleem bleef. Bleek dat de hals iets scheef ingelijmd was. Heb het het kunnen compenseren door een shim onder de brug te zetten
