"While teaching children the ukulele , I developed these really simple one string banjos. I wanted something to get beginner's fingers started, and to build confidence with very young children. They are tuned to a scale, have an unbreakable string, and by matching the coloured dots on the neck to the dots in the included songbook, kids have instant success in playing real music. Stepping up to a ukulele afterwards is easy!"
(Ages @ 3 to 7)
One String Banjos are individually made, with a choice of 'wooden box' ($35) or 'cookie tin' ($25). Four page songsheet included. Postage varies - please contact Graham to check and to place an order.
