Classical Guitar Strings On Banjolele 

The Ukulele Strings make it sound more like a Higher pitched version of that instrument the Banjeaurine

@@RockStarOscarStern634 what's a Banjeaurine?

@@marvinthemaniac7698 It's an Alto Banjo & it has a higher pitch

@@RockStarOscarStern634 cool

@@marvinthemaniac7698 The Ukulele Strings give it a higher pitch so it's not supposed to sound quite as muddy

Thank you for that! I'll look into that. I have heard for things about Thomastik strings.

Thanks, I just might look for them and make a video with some comparison.

That's good advice and certainly something to try in the future.

@@MountainHomeJerrel Yes in Low G Tuning. I've used the top 4 Strings from a Classical Guitar String set on my Ukulele & I was able to tune it to Low G Ukulele Tuning.

You can also tune it like a mandolin.

@@marvinthemaniac7698 Aquila 30u strings to the rescue

@@RockStarOscarStern634 I've heard of those, they're great for the mandolele.

Howdy, apologies! Work has been crazy and I didn't get back your comment sooner. I'll double check my gauges that I used and I'll get right back to you. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Sure thing, matey! I'll make a video for you.

This is tuned GCEG because I wanted to play it like a banjo. However, the strings were too light for DGBD, which is a normal banjo. I've replaced these black nylon strings with classical guitar strings and now I have it set up with DGBD, and it sounds exactly how I want. It's got a great sound with classical nylons. I should have some new videos up soon.

This is a Tenor Banjolele. WIth classical guitar nylon strings, I tuned it to DGBD banjo style.

Hello. No, the soprano Banjolele strings will be too light gauge.

@@MountainHomeJerrel Thnx for the answer ...

Hello! Different manufacturers will refer to hard and normal tensions differently, so there isn't a standard gauge set across different brands. In this situation, because the scale is so short and the difference in string gauge between normal and heavy is somewhat close, and there is an adjustable truss rod, there won't be an issue on a banjo uke. However, I say that with regard to this instrument. If you have an older instrument, or one without a reinforced neck (lacking truss rod), it is better to use lighter gauge strings.

Probably not because metal strings would break the instrument.

Actually you can use metal strings. This has a truss rod and can handle metal just fine. Which strings you use really depends on the tuning you want foe the strings. You can't use normal banjo strings because they'll be too light. You can probably get what you want by using a Mandolin set of strings.

@@MountainHomeJerrel if you tune it like a violin, you could make it sound like an Irish tenor banjo.

Good thinking. I'm tempted to slap some violin strings on a Banjolele. That may be a future experiment.

@@MountainHomeJerrel I have been entertaining the idea myself for quite some time now.

Yes

I would have to check the gauges, but you certainly would be able to. I think at lwast one of them would need to be plain nylon.

I use the middle four strings from a regular classical guitar strings set on my tenor uke and like the sound very much.

Thanks for adding your input and experience with this strings. Double checking my gauges, I second you on that.

​@@MountainHomeJerrelwelcome. Enjoy!
