Tanglewood TWBU Closed-Back Banjo-lele Banjo Ukulele Tobacco Burst

Classic Banjo Snap with Ukulele Charm

The Tanglewood TWBU Banjo-lele combines traditional banjo character with ukulele playability in a compact, closed-back design. Built with a maple resonator and sides, it delivers bright projection and that distinctive percussive snap banjo players love, while the 4-string ukulele setup makes it instantly familiar and easy to play. The Remo transparent head enhances clarity and definition, perfect for folk, vintage-style strumming or rhythmic accompaniment.

The satin Light Tobacco Sunburst finish adds an authentic old-time look, complemented by 12 chrome brackets, Techwood fingerboard and a maple bridge with ebony tip for stable tuning and clean response. Whether you’re exploring George Formby classics or adding unique texture to acoustic sessions, this Banjo-uke offers fun, character and musical versatility.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the TWBU is a charming mix of classic banjo tone and ukulele accessibility, perfect for players looking for something unique and lively.
