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.

Just recently bought a keyboard here - the lovely Shawn helped me pick out the right one for me, and a couple weeks later I couldn't be more happy with it! Lots of quality choice and super helpful , would absolutely recommend :)

Excellent service of my guitar by Rob at the Hull store - new strings etc. Service with a smile and genuine interest in my guitar. Highly recommended. The star rating wasn't working and would only let me highlight two stars. The service deserves 5 stars.

I recently bought my keyboard from here instead of doing online, and I'm happy I did! Upon entering the shop you'll notice the wide variety of instruments ( especially pianos) displayed. One of the staff members helpfully talked me throught the different kinds of keyboard and gave me an idea of what sort of thing I wanted to buy , this was pleasing as it felt as if he wasn't trying to sell me something and generally wanted to help me! 👍 I ended up buying the keyboard there and then and it has been a perfect fit for me ever since! I would definitely recommend this place, even if you just wanted advice!

Used Gough & Davy many times over the years and have always been happy with their service. Most recently, I bought a new digital piano yesterday and it's been delivered, fully set up andcready to play today. Couldn't be happier. The staff are all very knowledgeable and take their time to explain all the in's and ous of various different models to ensure you choose the right one for you. My family will always use Gough & Davy. Thank you guys.

Such a shame there aren’t more shops like this. What an absolute diamond of a place! Katie was fabulous sorting my daughter out with her first violin. We came from Grimsby but will be back again for all our future musical needs 🎵

I bought a Yamaha hybrid piano a few years ago from Gough & Davy and needed to replace one of the key tops. This was proving to be a logistical nightmare considering it was such a simple but integral part. Shaun stepped in and saved the day, for which I will be eternally grateful. Collected the replacement key today, Shaun couldn't have been more helpful, piano rescued - Cheers Shaun & G&D, my favourite music store for about 50 years!

I came in around a week ago and was greeted by the staff in a lovely manner. I was told to talk to Oli due to the type of guitar I was looking for. He was amazing and showed me a few things around what I was looking for. He showed me how each guitar I considered sounded and compared them perfectly for me. Couldn’t be more grateful and walked out with a beautiful guitar!

Bought a lovely Gibson from here. Oli was excellent and had great knowledge and patiently talked us through each guitar, giving us his recommendations for our needs. Excellent guitar shop and brilliant staff. Couldn’t do more for us. Definitely recommend.
