Ok folks, unlike many of you, I haven't suffered from UAS . I started a few years ago with a Fender Nohea tenor , upgraded to a Collings and then just played and played and played.
Recently watching the SOTU someone posted a link to a utube video of Tom Hartford playing a banjo uke and toe tapping to his song Gentle on my mind. I found it absolutely compelling, the guy had some serious talent.
I've been working hard on the song and have a good picking pattern going and now find myself thinking , gotta get me one of those banjo uke's. So............
A 101 type lesson please.
What is it a banjo uke or a banjolele, are they the same or different ?
Are there different sizes?
How are they tuned ?
How are they different from a regular 4 or 5 string banjo ?
If I decide I must have one then what, brands, styles, prices ? Where does one acquire a good intermediate banjo uke.
Enlighten me please.
