	The mandolin-banjo and the banjolin
		Irish Banjo: The instruments: The mandolin-banjo and the banjolin
		Strictly speaking the mandolin-banjo and the banjolin are two different instruments.
		In reality the only difference between the two is that the mandolin-banjo has double and the banjolin has single strings (just like the difference between an ordinary acoustic and a twelvestring guitar), and the two names are in fact often used interchangeably for the same instrument today.

		I am in search of anyone who may be able to show me the fundamentals of playing an instrument known as a 'BANJOLIN'.
		The instrument is a cross between a banjo(body) and a mandolin (neck).
		If you are able to help in any way please call me on 02 9688 7747 between 7 & 8pm weekdays, or on weekends during the day, or via email.

		There is a distinction between a mando-banjo and a banjolin.
		The banjolin is like the mando-banjo (same scale, 17 frets) but has only four strings.
		The banjolin is tuned the same as the mandolin/violin/irish tenor banjo.

	Mandolin Banjo Mando-Banjo 8-String Banjo on Using the Banjolin in the Studio Questions & Answers
		My grandfather's dad got this banjolin and was playing it during World War 1 but i don't know how long before he got it and if he got it second hand or new.
		All I know is that he played it to serenade the ladies on some or other river here in South Africa it was then passed on to his eldest son, who passed it on to my grandfather when he died.
		Vega banjolins go back quite a ways....early 1900s...I've seen many Vegas dating from the 1920s and up...it's difficult to pinpoint an exact date without a serial number...these can be value from 300-600 depending on condition and rarity of the model.

	UK Banjo Suppliers FAQ's
		Zither banjo construction was also used for 8 string mandolin banjos (quite common), 4 string banjoleles or banjolins (less common) and 6 or more string banjos (rather rare).
		Don't be confused by finding a zither banjo with 6 tuners at the peghead - it's not likely to be a 6 string banjo - it was common practice for makers to use standard sets of guitar machine heads and just leave one of them unused.
		A banjolin is a very similar instrument but with only 4 strings.

		A super nice guy came to see us play in Tacoma and showed us his 1928 Banjolin (cross between a banjo and a mandolin).
		He didn't know how to play it, but wanted to hear it played so he handed it to Naoyuki.
		He said, "I'll let you guys hang on to it as I have to go to Iraq in a week." Our jaws dropped, "Really?" we asked."Yes." he said.

	Banjolin Mando-Banjo 8-String Banjo Restoring Properly
		For tonal range, I believe a larger banjo head would be ideal on a banjolin.
		My banjolin would rather be "a drum with handle", I also hope pleasant to hear and play, and as "right" as possible.
		This is a banjolin (mandolin/banjo)...They're mandolins that have banjo rims and heads...they're tuned just like a mandolin too.

	Sound Space: Science Fiction Audio Reviews
		A scratchy sound--reminiscent of an old 78-rpm LP--dominates the first melody, a tune titled "Gypsy Song," before fading out just prior to "Metallic Sonata No. 1," a lengthy improvised number that showcases a skulking riff and haunting, repetitive tones.
		Similarly atmospheric themes are explored on "Banjolin," "Metallic Sonata No. 2," "Metallic Sonata No. 3" and "Hooray For Dane." "The Trot" introduces energetic tremolos that swoop and soar over an indistinct guitar background, and the aptly named "Bleep-Bloop" accentuates percolating plops and plinks.
		It mimics an illustration used on a well-known Benny Goodman disc, and serves as a sly reminder that many of the group's creations are, at least to some degree, improvisational in nature.

		The thumbnail image is linked to a page that gives a close-up look at how it works.
		One of the many bowed instrument design twists is represented by an instrument most commonly called a "guitar-o-lin" or "banjolin".
		As can be seen, it is named randomly, as it bears no features nor even any resemblance to a banjo.

	History
		A lineup of -lins, from left to right: Hawiian Art-Violin, Banjolin, Guitarolin, Ukelin and Violin-Uke (not shown to scale).
		From 1927 to 1972, bowed zither instruments by the names of Violin Uke (pictured right) were mass-produced by musical inventor Henry Charles Marx (1875-1946/1947?) and his company, the Marxochime Colony in New Troy, Michigan.
		Marx can be numbered as one of a number of late 19th century/early 20th century musical gadget manufacturers who combined two or more instruments into one: the Hawaiian ukelele and bowed violin, in this instance.

		Similar instruments were sold by the Marxochime Colony, New Troy, Michigan, under the names Pianoette, Pianolin, Sol-o-lin and Violin Uke.
		Other names sometimes encountered include Banjolin and Hawaiian Art Violin.
		Ukelin-type instruments were usually sold by door-to-door commission salesmen, often on a time-payment plan, and were intended for home music-making by persons without a formal musical education.

		La Bella has some lovely silver-plated strings that should work well on any mandolin-banjo or banjolin.
		They also have a similar bronze-wound set if you like a rounder tone.

		With Les Smith from Newfoundland and Glenn McFarlane from New Brunswick, it’s quite obvious where this pair gets their love of Celtic and East Coast folk music.
		Les, now living in Mississauga, plays a multitude of instruments, including bass, tin whistle, Irish flute, concertina, accordion, bodhran, mandolin, banjolin, percussion, and is the primary vocalist, while Glenn, who lives in Brampton, plays guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, harmonica, accordion, percussion, and also sings.
		They deliver a high-energy versatile show filled with songs from both sides of the Atlantic, lively jigs and reels, tender ballads (often a cappella!), and recitations.

		Norah Jones moves from the smoky jazz clubs of her monumental debut Come Away With Me to the sunny back porch with Feels Like Home, her impeccable follow-up.
		The title says it all—relying almost exclusively on acoustic instruments, including accordion, pump organ, and banjolin, the album conveys the relaxed feeling of a private concert.
		Jones’ piano playing remains at the center of each composition, but she employs it sparingly as an accent that fades to the background and then springs forward at opportune times, much like Ray Charles on his acclaimed country albums.

		Better a loud mando than a banjo (juuust kidding, Erik!).
		You could always look into getting a banjolin.
		There was an IRTRAD-L thread some time back on how evil the instrument is, though, so you might wanna be careful about walking into sessions in other towns with a banjolin.

		I think a banjolin is a banjo in the range (soprano) of a mandolin.
		So it would have the snare durm body of a banjo with 8 strings tuned to four notes like a mandolin.
