Queen's Good Company edit

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 edit

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.
