The Banjolele is generally tuned like the Ukulele but you have yours tuned up a step to ADF#B which is how alot of Ukuleles were originally tuned. Nowadays we tuned them GCEA.
The tuning A D F# B is traditional tuning for ukuleles in northern Europe (Sweden) but we mostly us G C E A, and that goes for the banjolele as well 😉.
Hello to you. I want to thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. I just ordered a donner banjolele though I have never played a ukelele or banjo. Your take is very interesting. I got a ukelele for my husband for xmas though he hasn't played since he was a kid. He always has a tune in his head so theford I thought he needs to put his fingers to work. Then I decided to get the banjoele. I love the way you play yours. Im hoping to can get my old fingers to listen to my brain so I can at least play some simple tunes.
Ok, this may be a really stupid question. I will apologize now. If it is tuned differently, that means you will have to learn all new chords and fingering compared to a GCEA ukulele? Is that correct?
You can tune a 13" soprano GDAE like a violin or mandolin or a 15" concert CGDA like a viola or mandola, if you buy special 'fifths tuning' strings and the frets are metal. Aquila 30U and 31U strings have wound strings which don't play nicely with plastic frets.
That's the same interval change as tuning a guitarlele to standard guitar tuning. People do that but it doesn't sound as good. You'll find TH-cam videos. I think it could be worse on 'banjo hardware' because the strings will be slack and you'll have moved outside the designed resonant frequency of the banjo head, so it's likely to sound dull.
Although there are different tunings, we always tune a banjolele gCEA (reentrant tuning) the same as a soprano ukulele.

Really enjoyed the video. Was interesting to see the difference between the two.
Great!
I tuned my Banjolele to D G B E with Baritone strings - sound good
Your tuning is an alternative, but the banjolele is normally turned the same has a ukulele isn't it, ?
You have awesome tutorials how about Malaguena on baritone ukulele
Very interesting instrument. Is it necessary to tune that white skin? And which key to tune it if needed???

What is the name of the song/melody played at @1:45 ??? - I recognize it from somewhere and it's driving me bonkers trying to identify it
Idk but the ad that played when I when to the timestamp was the cascade platinum plus dishwasher pods. Maybe it’s that one 😂
Does he have any videos on the tenor guitar?
I always tune my Banjuke gCEA
Best way to do so, I guess...
Whoever it was that sent you the banjolele tuned like that was playing games with you i think 😬 thanks for the video though.
