Gold Tone BUC/L Concert-Scale Banjo Ukulele Left-Handed with Case
$ 499.99
The Gold Tone BUC/L is a concert-scale banjo ukulele tuned GCEA — standard ukulele tuning — on a 15-5/8″ (395 mm) scale with 18 frets. This is the factory-built left-handed version. It is built on the same 8-inch multi-ply maple rim and pot assembly Gold Tone uses across the whole banjo-uke family, with an 8-inch Remo MC Smooth head and a maple flat-back resonator, so it gives you the bright, percussive snap of a banjo with the voicing and chord shapes of a uke. A hard shell case is included, and every one is professionally set up at Gold Tone’s factory in Titusville, FL before it ships.

The Gold Tone BUC/L is the concert-scale member of Gold Tone’s banjo-ukulele family, built left-handed at the factory rather than converted. It is tuned GCEA — standard ukulele tuning — so every chord shape and scale pattern you already know as a uke player transfers to it directly. The 15-5/8″ (395 mm) concert scale with 18 frets gives you a little more room under the fingers than a soprano while keeping the familiar ukulele voice.
All four instruments in Gold Tone’s banjo-ukulele range — soprano, concert, tenor and baritone — share the same 8-inch multi-ply maple rim and pot assembly, so the BUC/L gets the same well-proven foundation as its siblings; what changes between them is the scale length of the neck and, on the baritone alone, the tuning. The 8-inch Remo MC Smooth head and maple flat-back resonator give the BUC/L a bright, focused bark that carries further than a wood-body ukulele.
The maple neck carries a select wood fingerboard with mini-dot inlays and a 1-3/8" ZeroGlide nut, which keeps open strings in tune as reliably as fretted ones. Grover-style tuners hold pitch, the bridge is maple with an ebony cap, and the EZ-String tailpiece and chrome hardware finish it in the traditional style. It weighs about 2.8 lbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the BUC/L tuned?
GCEA, which is standard ukulele tuning. If you already play soprano, concert or tenor ukulele, everything you know transfers directly — no new chord shapes to learn. Note that it is the baritone BUB, not this instrument, that is tuned DGBE like the top four strings of a guitar; if guitar tuning is what you are after, that is the model to look at.
What is the difference between the models in this range?
They share the same 8-inch maple pot; the scale length of the neck is what changes. Gold Tone builds the soprano at 13-1/2", the concert at 15-1/2", the tenor at 17" and the baritone at 19". The first three are tuned GCEA; only the baritone is tuned DGBE. This one is the concert at 15-5/8″ (395 mm).
