Barnes & Mullins BUBJ2 Open-Back Banjo-lele Banjo Ukulele

Vintage Character with Sweet Open-Back Tone

The Barnes & Mullins BUBJ2 Banjo Ukulele brings classic old-time charm in a lightweight open-back design, offering a sweet, mellow voice that’s perfect for folk, roots, and acoustic sessions. Built in traditional banjolele style, it’s scaled and strung as a soprano ukulele, making it instantly familiar and easy to play for ukulele players.

The maple rim, neck and Remo UT head create a warm, articulate tone with a softer projection than a resonator version, ideal for relaxed playing or ensemble work. The Ovangkol fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays adds a touch of elegance, while chrome hardware and open gear tuners complete the vintage aesthetic. Lightweight at just 1.4kg, it’s perfect for travelling musicians or those wanting a unique tonal flavour without added bulk.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the BUBJ2 is the ideal blend of ukulele playability and classic banjo character for those chasing a softer, vintage voice.
