Clawhammer Banjo Ukulele

In the late Nineteen Teens the Banjo Ukulele was introduced. It was a small banjo set up and tuned to play like a ukulele. It was popular with a number of ukulele players, because it gave the louder, punchier, tone of the banjo.

Due to the ukulele having a high-pitched top string, it can be played in the same clawhammer style as the 5-string banjo.

"Part of what makes America a great place is that it's got more banjo players than any other country this side of the Mississippi."
