The Union Series TUB5 Banjo is a stunning five-string instrument that combines timeless craftsmanship with exceptional performance. Designed for players who value quality, tone, and style, this banjo is perfect for a range of musical styles, from traditional bluegrass to modern compositions.

Built with a mahogany resonator and matching mahogany sides, the TUB5 delivers a rich, warm tone with remarkable resonance and clarity. Mahogany is a favorite among musicians for its ability to produce a deep, balanced sound, making it a reliable choice for solo performances or ensemble playing. The inclusion of a Remo Ambassador head further elevates the instrument’s tonal qualities, ensuring crisp, articulate notes with excellent projection. This head is known for its consistent quality and sensitivity, making it an essential component for creating dynamic performances.

The TUB5’s purple heart wood fingerboard adds another layer of sophistication and functionality. Renowned for its strength and smooth finish, the fingerboard enables effortless playability while standing up to the demands of regular practice and performance. Its rich, natural hue harmonizes beautifully with the vintage burst gloss finish of the banjo. This finish not only enhances the instrument’s visual appeal but also protects its surface, preserving its radiant charm over time.

Every detail of the Union Series TUB5 Banjo has been crafted with the musician in mind. From its visually striking design to its responsive tonal qualities, this banjo offers a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Whether you’re practicing at home, performing on stage, or recording in the studio, the TUB5 provides the reliability and versatility you need to express your musical creativity. With its exceptional build and timeless aesthetic, this five-string banjo is a cherished addition to any player’s collection.

We were looking to upgrade a trusty Yamaha keyboard and a much loved acoustic guitar and popped into Gough & Davy in Hull hoping - but not necessarily expecting - that they would be able to match our requirements. We were very impressed with the friendly, knowledgeable service - and came away delighted with the two instruments we decided to buy. Thanks !

I highly recommend Gough and Davy. Popped in just to have a look and see what was on offer and saw the Gibson Blues Hawk, never heard of one before but I was impressed by its condition and what I was told about it by the staff. After doing some research I decided to buy it and I’m over the moon with it. Many thanks

Popped into this store today for a look around and left with a bass guitar for my son. The guys in the store were so helpful and knowledgeable - they knew every guitar in the store and were able to easily point my son to a perfect fit for him as well as discussing guitars in general. We hadn't planned to buy a guitar and as we live in Surrey had no way of easily carrying it home. So got a guitar case as well! But they threw in a strap for free. Would definitely recommend this store. You can't beat the personal touch.

This shop is a musicians dream. The staff are so friendly, helpful and really know their stuff. We first bought a flute and keyboard. These were beautiful instruments. The flute was a purple vivace III with a clear quality sound and was provided with all the cleaning materials. I love playing it and has rekindled our love of music. My husband also made the switch from an acoustic to electric guitar and got his dream of owning his own Gretsch. The prices are excellent for the quality you get and staff really look after you so the upkeep and after care is there for you as well. The best music shop in shop in Hull.

Apparantly in business for 156 years. It`s clear to me that to last that long that the business must be providing a service that not only reaps a good living but at the same time puts a smile on the faces of so many customers. I`m in the process of having a huge clear out and after agreeing the sale of my piano, I pointed out that I had a drumkit that needed putting together and cleaning - left dormant in the garage for a few years- I was just about to put it in a skip I`ve hired but Alan said it may be ideal for a young kid as a starter instrument. What a lovely thought. Getting kids to have an interest in life that may just help them to stay away from video games. Also, the lads that came to take the piano away were very nice and polite. A business that is a credit to Hull
