My understanding is that a banjolin is tuned like a violin, and not like a mandolin (the mandolin uke is apparently another beast). I'm wondering though, couldn't a banjolin be strung, tuned and played like a banjo uke? They usually have a 10" pot and would really be loud I guess (my banjo uke isn't quite loud enough

).

Any thoughts?

Sano -

I'm going to lock this duplicate thread and give a link to the one in the ukulele forum. That way, everybody can answer you there.

Please see the other thread on this subject HERE
