This is a bass banjolele / banjo. Tuned E-A-D-G and strung with Aquila Thundergut strings, it produces full bass-pitched notes.  Played acoustically it produces more volume than the wooden-bodied basses - enough volume to accompany a quieter instrument such as a ukulele. Alternatively, it has a standard jack-output for amplification.

Built around a 12 inch Remo frame drum (with a humidity proof synthetic head), all of the wooden parts are cut and finished by hand.
