Hey everyone! This banjo uke comes with a good list of accessories. One I didn't mention was a gig bag. It has a lightly padded gig bag included - it has a carrying handle as well as two backpack straps and a small pocket on the front to put your tuner, extra strings etc in. Accessories included are 1) the gig bag, 2) picks; both felt and plastic, 3) a strap, 4) a tuner, 5) strap button on the neck 6) a cleaning cloth 7) a hex key for adjusting the neck angle and 8) an extra set of strings. You get everything you need to get going and keep going for a while.

Great review thanks, i have been wanting one for a wile now, this will be my solution to not wanting to spend a lot of money 👍.

Just ordered one, can't wait!!

Thanks! Good straight forward review!

Got one of these coming to me today, I'm pretty excited about it

I have had GAS But thinking of going over to one of these UAS looks fun...

This is the one I bought.I love mine.

I have quite a bit of experience with banjo ukes, and in my opinion, this is the best deal on a banjo uke anywhere near it's price range. Most don't come with an armrest. I love it's ringing pluckyness and looks. I use small carabiners to attach my strap to the lugs.

Great review. Just bought one. $86.00 on Amazon. Thanks.

Gonna pick one of these up for hubby!

On the different-looking banjo head, I think these dirty-looking ones are called Fiberskyn. I've read it has a softer tone among Remo heads. Really not sure though, and of course, the printing really doesn't help. I've window shopped the cheap banjo ukuleles a little. As far as these AKLOTs go, I see the neck is notably similar to the Gold Tone Little Gem (also reportedly made in China), ignoring the apparent truss rod (Not sure if the cover is only there for looks or if it actually allows for the use of metal strings.), and wonder if it says anything. There's lots of style to be found looking beyond the strangely-popular Kmise. Plated headstocks, alternate neck designs, and the use of Remo heads over "Kmise" heads, that's a big one. The Little Gem's completely unmarked head... Imagine if it ever needed replacement. jerry rig

This might be a silly question - I don't have any musical experience but will be getting one of these soon to learn - but why is it that when you strum, people tend to strum right at the base of the neck rather than over the drum? Is that standard for all ukes/banjo ukes? In my mind, I think of when you strum a guitar, over the "body" of the instrument. Is there any reason, or is that just how it's done? I appreciate it!

Hello! And so its been 3 years since this Aklot review. Do you still like it? I'm considering purchasing it. Thanks so much!

I discovered this and for the price it is Great! UAS...it was under $100 with the accessories...Amazon ugh...it paid off this time.

Do you keep your strings set on GCEA or do you go banjo style of GCEG?

Hi.. I bought this...should I removed the round plastic behind the drum head??...not sure..thanks

Did your Aklot come with the armrest? I can't find one that does. If not, what did you buy to add on? I would really like one with it.

Did you lower the string action on that or just left it alone

Are there other better strings you recommend for this instrument? Thank-you.

Hello. In the banjo world, what you called a truss rod is actually called a coordinator rod.

Just grabbed one of these on ebay for 50 bucks, looking to practice clawhammer before i attempt to seek out a banjo

I have one. Ps yes IV hade my for a year now.

Tuners are so cheap these days and they come with damn near anything. I've got a few apps on my phone. Most amps have them. Most instruments that have their own electronics have their own tuner right in it. So, I'd say more like $5. Thanks for the review though. I'm considering this one. I like the look of it. The Kmise doesn't look as banjoey.
