The banjolele is a four-stringed musical instrument with a banjo-type body and a neck with sixteen frets (shorter than a banjo, but longer than a ukulele). The instrument is also known as the ukulele-banjo and is the type of instrument played by George Formby - which he (incorrectly) referred to as a ukulele.
The banjolele was most popular in the 20's and 30's.
The banjolele is tuned GCEA, but when more volume is needed, it is tuned ADF#B. Template:Musical-instrument-stub
