HI,

I'm looking for recommendations for a comfortable arm rest for my heavy banjo ukulele which has a resonator. An arm rest that is easily attached. Getting sore from the metal bits on the rim imprinting themselves on my arm!

My Gold Tone BUB, just came in with out an arm rest, but I had purchased a Gold Tone arm rest a head of time, installing it tonight. I got those arm rests from Elderly Music. It's not all that difficult to put one on, the resonators come off easy, take few hooks off, put'm back on. EASY CHEEZY!

	annemc says: 3/18/2015 11:29:10 PM The banjo uke head is 8", but the measurement is 8.5 inches including the metal edging rim round the head. (i.e.not the resonator itself included in that measurement). Thanks, I'll look up what Elderly Instruments stocks.
	bluegrassjunkie says: 3/19/2015 10:28:30 PM Hello Annemc...Kevin had mentioned our Thinline Ukulele armrests. They are available in North American hardwoods and polished satin finish solid surface. They fit 8" dia. hook mounted heads. Doug Campbell Little Mountain Music littlemountainmusic.com
	annemc says: 3/20/2015 1:14:06 AM I have just been looking at the Little Mountain site. I have an Oakridge banjo ukulele, and it has flattened hooks. Can you supply the 2 round pins mentioned on the Little Mountain Music website that are needed for attachment when I purchase one of your arm rests?
