I’ve had a Woodstock banjo-uke for a few years now, and enjoy playing it. I replaced the strings with nylon uke strings and tuned it to B E G C and it sounds much better. It’s nice to have an instrument to hand kids when the adults are playing music.

I hope you’re not wanting one to use as an instrument. They aren’t playable at all…

I am trying to buy one of these but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Anyone have one to sell or know where I can buy one?

Actually, Tommy loves his “banjo” even more than the “guitars” (ukes) I bought him. OTOH, he’s only 3 and I’m still trying to teach him a C chord. The banjo-tam comes into its own after after a firm wrist snap into a brisk breeze…..

Was your grandson disappointed? Wow, I’m not so sure I’d want to use the banjo-tam as a frisbee… that headstock might leave a nasty bruise

I bought one for our grandson and completely agree with your review Julie, especially, “Can you say ouch?!” It makes a passable Frisbee though.

Now I know the brand name for what appears to be the instrument used in the majority of banjo uke videos on YouTube. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the review. I’ve seen these on eBay and wondered whether they were any good. I’m glad I didn’t buy one. I just got a Tyler Mountain banjo uke, and even at slightly over 10 times the price, I couldn’t be happier with it.
