Thread Name: Banjo & Regular Ukes ???
Subject: RE: Banjo & Regular Ukes ???
At a boot-fair in Standon (Hertfordshire) on Bank Holiday Monday I picked-up an old banjo-uke for a couple of quid. It needs some attention to get into a playable condition, but seems a pretty fair instrument. It's got a little metal label shaped like a shield on it saying "Keech", and it has friction pegs and a brass tone ring, and the remains of gut strings.

Anyone able to tell me anything about it? And if possible point me in the direction of somewhere I could get a couple of brackets that might fit, and advice on strings etc?
