Banjolins or MandoBanjos
Banjolin or Mandobanjo Whatever you choose to call this instrument, it is very traditional and has been around for quite a long time. Basically it is a roughly mandolin-sized banjo set up and tuned like a mandolin. The scale length, just over 13 inches, is identical to a modern mandolin. This Banjolin/Mandobanjo is by Gold Tone, whose catalog describes the instrument as follows:
Compared to a normal mandolin, our mando banjo is louder and has quick response typical of a banjo body. A brass rod tone ring increases volume and the resonator promotes outward projection. Best of all, compared to its vintage predecessors, it retains proper tuning which has always been a problem with a 10”, 11”, or 12” head. The 8” head may be stretched tighter to avoid the “sinking bridge” problem.
Banjolins and a related instrument, the Banjo Uke or Banjolele are extremely well-suited for accompanying fiddle.
