Grafton Banjo Uke submitted 11/19/2008 Submitter cockneybanjo (see all reviews from this person) Where Purchased andy's banjos Year Purchased 2008 Price Paid 195 (GBP) historic exchange rates / currency converter Sound loud and bright. 8" Remo head and what look like Aquila strings give a nice bouncy tone with plenty of volume. Not up to the same quality as my pre-war Sovereign, but i didn't expect that anyway. Sound Rating 8 Setup good easy set-up. Low action and no buzzes or rattles. Setup Rating 9 Appearance nice dark finish, similar to the 'treacle and araldite' finish on Korean Gold Tones. Appearance Rating 9 Reliability looks good as far as I can tell on such short acquaintance. Past experience of Graftons suggests there will be no problems on this front Reliability Rating 9 Customer Service good service from Andy! Customer Service 10 Components looks a solid all-round piece. Again, past experience of Graftons has been good Components Rating 9 Overall Comments generally a copy of the pre-war Gibson UB3, if not up to Gibson standards of tone - but what do you expect at the price? nice value-for-money piece, well set-up, lacks the troublesome volute at the top of the neck often found on budget banjo ukes. Nice bright sound. Overall Rating 9
