Important Considerations to Keep in Mind When Looking for the Best tenor banjos

What sizes are Banjoleles?

You won't be able to measure with a ruler, it will be to small.
  • Soprano – 13″ (33cm)
  • Concert (Also called Alto) – 15″ (38 cm)
  • Tenor – 17″ (43 cm)
  • Baritone – 19″ (48 cm)

Is a banjo like a ukulele?

Banjos are a bit different than ukuleles in that they are made in quite a few different sizes and string configurations. A banjos sound comes from usually 4 or 5 strings stretched over a drum that can be tuned to hit different chords. Banjos can also be crossed with instruments like guitars, ukuleles and mandolins.

Is Banjo a ukulele?

Banjos are a bit different than ukuleles in that they are made in quite a few different sizes and string configurations. A banjos sound comes from usually 4 or 5 strings stretched over a drum that can be tuned to hit different chords.

What tuning is a tenor banjo?

This relates to the tenor banjo because standard tuning for a tenor banjo is tuned the same as a viola/mandola (C, G, D, A). Irish players often tune their tenor banjos also in fifths, but one octave below a violin/mandolin (G, D, A, E).

What is the easiest style of banjo to learn?

The 5 string banjo is actually the easiest stringed instrument to get started playing.

What brand of banjo should I buy?

Reliable brands are Ibanez, Epiphone, Fender, and Deering. If you are ready to make an investment in the instrument, and are seriously committed to learning the banjo, we recommend the Deering Goodtime Two. It costs around $700 new, but you might be able to find a used instrument in good condition for under $500.

Our editors have collected over 688 customer reviews and shortlisted the 61 best tenor banjos according to the pros and cons most customers stated.
