Thanks for the clip, very useful. I've just ordered one from Amazon so looking forward to learning to play.
Nice instrument! I've heard good things about the kmise banjolele. It's seems like it's a good and affordable instrument. I'm gonna stay tuned for the review.
It's really really good, if you want my opinion! It's great quality for the price, honestly. I paid $75 for mine, and it's awesome! :D Mine is an open back and I love it :)
Good info. The fast forward sections made me smile! Thank you.
Looks like fun!
Hi Jodie,
Thanks for your series on the Kmise Banjolele. Just purchased from Ebay and all inclusions received in great condition. Kmise logo is inlayed, not stuck on, fret board is perfect dark and there are no imperfections in the body as you had observed in your video. Being in a local ukelele group, banjoleles are rare and being a musician (keyboards) the sound produced is exactly as I would have expected. Exceptional value for money, as I would have expected to pay AU$300 plus. Looking forward to introducing this instrument to the group post Covid lockdown here in Sydney Aust.
GREAT UNBOXING,THE BEST I'VE EVER WATCHED TO DATE!!!!!!!
This banjolele looks nice. I've always wanted one because of how loud they are. And I just like the ting they give.
Amy S. Yep. Banjoleles are so fun. They are definitely loud and I love the little twang too. ❤️
@@girlmeetsuke2980 I cant wait to see you comparison video.
Fun! I’m looking forward to the review!
I just got mine. It's cute. Can't wait to play.
Can’t wait for the review 👍🏻🦋🌈
Cool! Didn’t know kmise made banjoleles!
Aww lol. The tuning is the part I wanted.
I bought mine off the eBay about a year ago and it’s a great instrument! Looks like we got the same but the case isn’t as nice and I had no instruction as to where to put the bridge. No strap buttons on mine. You got way more fun extras than I did. I have Fremont Black Lines on mine and it sounds great!
When you bought from eBay was it shipped from China? How’d they do with the packaging? I’m a little scared to buy a Kmise from eBay after my last one. 😬
I’ve had nothing but great experiences with buying from Kmise via their warehouses in China. My solid spruce top concert arrived in under two weeks and was in perfect condition. I also buy replacement parts for my builds through them and they are great.
Lucky Uke Good to know. Thank you!
You measure, get it close, then compare the harmonic notes at the 12th fret with the fretted note at the 12th.
Once those match you got it!
I'm looking forward to the review and comparison with your other banjolele. I love uke science! (calling it "science" legitimizes my habit of buying more ukes and a multitude of strings for the sake of comparison) ;)
Jennifer Lehner- uke science. I love it! Having a channel helps me justify buying ukuleles. Whatever we have to tell ourselves, right?
Hi, Jodi! My Kmise banjolele just arrived today! I have yet to play it, but already I notice mine doesn’t have that nasty foil label on the headstock. Instead of mine has a cream colored plastic inlay. I think it looks much nicer. Thanks for making these videos! I subscribed!
You should have a device for undoing the drum screws (Look in the pocket)
That’s a good deal on a banjolele! I already have an actual 4 string banjo, but I still kinda want a banjolele. I was contemplating the new Outdoor Banjolele because I love my tenor uke from them. But the price on this is very nice.
When I got my fourth ukulele, I told myself I was done...but now I want a nice soprano and probably a baritone to play too. Ugh! They’re like potato chips! Always wanting more.
Brandon Rout: yep! There’s just so many different sizes and variations. It’s hard to stop at 4. 😂 What kind of soprano are you wanting??
GirlMeetsUke I’m not sure. I don’t need it to be super fancy, but I want it to be nice. The soprano I already have is. Waterman and the action isn’t great on it at all (as you know). It’s not really a fair representation of the size, given the quality.
I haven’t had a chance to go to my nearest music shop to try any out.
Brandon Rout That’s definitely the place to start. I really like Ohana’s mahogany soprano. Sopranos are so fun. They can really pack a punch. And the good news is they are the least expensive so you can sometimes afford to get a nicer soprano where a tenor would be too expensive. I’d definitely try to spring for a solid wood one. My Bruce Wei was only $100 and I love it (especially with the new Martin strings on it❤️)
I just became aware of this instrument a few days ago. It looks great for the price point. Looking forward to seeing your full review.
Very nice Jodie
The Kmise banjolele I got to play was very nice and well worth the he money ... which should be pointed out is much cheaper than any other make and model out the here.
It’s definitely a good value 😉
Great unboxing!! Thanks...Cant wait to get one...total beginner here! Subbing for tutorials.
Enjoyed your unboxing. I bought the same instrument from EBay for $68 but no extras other than the bridge ruler. I love mine. Really looking forward to your comparison to the Oscar Schmidt.
Mark Pierce, how was it packaged? Did it come from China like my othe Kmise that I bought off of eBay?
GirlMeetsUke yes straight from China. I only received the inside box you received and it was pretty banged up by the time it was delivered. But the banjo uke itself was fine.
Same sort of packaging and bits as my Mulucky. I am very pleased with it but I don''t know where to connect the strap at the back? I didn't like the pickup and the cheap tuner. Does the Kmise have a connection at the back for the strap?
Could you do like a set up kinda thing like how it should sound and how to set it up please.😁
Didn’t know there was a banjolele... welll, how about that? Looking forwards to review... yup.
I just got mine and as of now the sticker is no longer there it has been replaced with an in layer faux ivory aka plastic Kmise logo
Hi can you replace the strings for steei banjo strings I had a Kmise Xmas gift love it plays great, but I got a 2 hand Kmise which I wanted to convert to a steel string banjo
How cool is that 😎
Thats so quite
I have not got that one I'd love to so I'm watching this video so I can see if it's worth it
Kmise banjolele... Well Kmise is an ok brand from the reviews ive seen but that uke looks pretty cool!
I dunno how I feel about the banjolele as an instrument. You know how I like to live in my boxes...
I am interested in your resumé? Can you post a Review
I'm trying to learn mandolin, and I thought it would be neat to have a banjolele tuned GDAE same as the mandolin. There is the Pyle banjo mandolin available in my price range, but I think I want single strings instead of paired strings. For one thing the double number of strings puts more pressure/ tension on everything, making tuning less stable. Another option would be tuning GDAE but one full octave lower than a mandolin, which I think is the "Irish" tuning for a tenor banjo... unfortunately tenor banjos are a bit out of my price range at this point. In any case I wonder if either of these GDAE tunings are possible on a cheap concert-sized banjolele?
Hello! I was wondering if you would be able to add a low G string to this? The metal bridge and it being a concert banjolele suggest it should be safe to do so, but I'm also wondering if it might take away from the banjo sound?
I really liked your smile its really beautiful god bless you sister
First one and nice Unboxing !
That's pretty neat.
Thank you for the info. I'm currently trying to decide between a regular banjo or the lele. Never played before, and I'm left handed, thinking of just learning to play right hand. Thoughts?
I know a lot of people who have done that. I also have a left handed student who is learning to play right hand. I say try it. You’ll probably find forming the chords to be somewhat easy and might have to work on strumming a little more. At least that’s the case with my student. Good luck and have fun!
@@girlmeetsuke2980 Thanks
Cool
Good work,. I’m ordering one, as a lefty myself, do you think this could be restrung to suit ? X thanks x
Yes. As long as you don’t try a low G, it should work just fine. ❤️ (Low G might take a little adjustment on the nit but could also be done. )
GirlMeetsUke thank you, I’ve restrung my 6 string academy acoustic and my makala ukulele myself over the years so I was hoping it would be as easy as those,.. just wanted a bit of knowledge from yourself, you are doing some good work here, thank you x
Looks like Kmise ripped off the Taylor trademark headstock shape.
LOL you should troll those people by getting yourself a 12 inch Rambo knife to unbox stuff.
Those strings are 没有来自中国的品牌字符串
