I've read previous threads. I have the head tight, and the bridge set at the nut, 12th fret distance. It's a Lanikai, and came with Aquila strings. It seems Ok on the first few frets, i.e. all the first position chords. But I get really weird overtones, especially on the 1st string, once I play above the fifth fret. I'm thinking it may be the head tension/ tuning. I saw that tuning the head to an "A" was recommended. Is that for GCEA tuning? And, how do you all tune your concert size banjo ukes, anyway? GCEA or ADF#B?
I just got the banjolele yesterday, so I can't critique it yet. But I can tell you that it's solidly built, fit and finish is of medium quality, and it's loud. Beyond that, I can only say that it would be good to have with you in a barroom brawl.
