Move proposal

Move to Banjo-uke - more commonly used term. Badagnani (talk) 21:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Queen's Good Company

The article states, "He also used one to compose 'Good Company' for their album A Night at the Opera, although on the recording he used a regular ukulele."

However, the linked article about the song states that May did record using the banjo uke. Abrothman (talk) 16:43, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I'm suggesting this article be merged into ukulele. There's no unique repertory for the banjo uke, nor is there any unique history to this instrument; I think it's merely a variation on the ukulele, as are the different sizes of uke, different string counts, different tunings, and so on that are covered in ukulele. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 19:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, if only because a merger to banjo would also be just as fitting, as it's also a variant on that instrument. Being that it could fit either well, having it be part of neither makes as much sense. It's uniquely positioned between both. oknazevad (talk) 19:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I also wondered why move to ukulele as opposed to banjo. It would seem to imply that the instrument is closer to a uke than to a banjo. I myself own a Gibson UB-1, and I can't decide which it's closer to. I suggest leaving it as its own creature, clearly showing the relationship to the other two instruments.
