Pulling Together Information On The Dixie Banjolele

The purpose of this blog is to collect and share information about the Dixie Banjolele, which was made in the 1940-50 era. The Dixie is made out of metal -- cast aluminum. I've tested it with a magnet, and nothing but the hardware attracts the magnet.

  1. I've been considering purchasing a Dixie metal Banjo / Ukulele / Banjolele, but was concerned about being able to repair and adjust. Your posts are very clear, well written, and are complimented by helpful photography. This is THE resource for the Dixie.

    Your blog is really appreciated!

    1. Hi Genevieve -- Blogspot comments don't allow photos as far as I can tell. If you will use the Contact Form at the top right of this page and send your email address, I will email you so you can send the photos. I'll post them for you and give you my thoughts on your banjolele.
