Nah I got just the ukulele kind, I figure it's now my back up for my concert Kala that has a low G lol (same reds on that one).
Ah so Aquila makes banjolele strings and a Low G option? And how are the black line I've seen them mentioned in forums.. Difference?
Ease of installation? Plug in play or will I have to make a wider slot to fit the string in for the G? I didn't have to for my Kala concert uke.
Thanks again for the recommendations and info I appreciate it
You could consider getting an Aquila Fifths set and turning it into a mini-tenor banjo.
Sorry if I'm a corrupting influence... NOT! For a really strange and challenging re-entrant experience with a banjo-'uke, merely flip a standard string set and tweak it to pseudo-fifths a#FCg. Fun fun fun! Or to channel a different tradition, slack a DGBe set to CGBd, or a low-G GCEa set to FCEg, and you have a mini-plectrum banjo. I do plan to build myself cheap banjo-'ukes to exploit those tunings.You know, I had 95% talked myself out of a banjo uke and then you had to go and suggest that. Sigh.
I have considered modding a soprano banjo-uke (with friction tuners) into a concert or tenor by merely bolting on a new neck (with geared tuners). Longer composite strings would not have substantially greater tension, not enough to strain the bracing bar in the pot. I might hesitate to use steel strings on that, but Nylgut etc should be no problem.How do you turn a concert banjolele into a tenor? It's so lite it can't handle a lot of tension with the friction tuners I figure?
