Incidentally, I purchased a Gold Tone banjo ukulele last Easter. It will need better strings when I get around to it (usually D'Addario on my other ukes) and maybe a different head eventually, but it plays nicely stock. It's fun as an accompaniment instrument for some things but does better to my ears when there's someone playing lower notes (bass, piano, guitar). Pick the right song/tune, that's all. Nice factory fret job. Came with a nice fitted hardshell case. Head needed tightening when I bought it. Loud little bugger too, so it does melody as well as chords nicely.

Peace, Mooh.
