I know you can't put steel strings on a wooden uke, but what about a banjo uke? Anyone tried it? Is it even advisable?
Gold Tone offers a couple steel strung, very short scale travel banjos - the Plucky with a 15.875" scale and the CC-Mini with a 19.75" scale. It's not obvious to me how they would differ structurally from a banjolele, which has me thinking you could get away with steel on a banjolele. But maybe I'm wrong. I can accept that.
(The main thing that's keeping me away from a Plucky is I don't want the 5th string.)
