It looks like a banjo, but this is a banjo-ukulele or sometimes called a banjolele for short. It has four nylon strings tuned like a standard ukulele. The banjo head gives it a sound unlike a wood-box ukulele, but it is mellower than a modern steel string banjo.

If you look through my gallery, it is apparent that I like shooting closeups of musical instruments. But for my second book of guitar photos, I decided to get them out “in the wild” for for some full-body photos.
