Not one video on RUclips to tune a banjo. People like yourself doing a whole lot of talking about tuning a banjo but no one going down one string at a time to actually tune it. Crazy
Please does anyone know how to tune a banjo 1 string at a time. 1/2hour of videos and not one person can teach how to tune a banjo. This guy talks and talks and talks. Never plays a string
What tuning do you what? C-G-D-A or G-D-A-E or a higher one or a lower tuning? Many instruments are tuned the same as a violin in 5th's (G-D-A-E) or a lower voice would be a viola in 5th's (C-G-D-A) or maybe a guitar tuning (imperfect fourths) or maybe some tuning that you have heard at some point in your life. Lets say your tuning in 5th's, a violin, then your largest string on your base side (or left side) for this example a G-string, count up five notes G is one, A is two, B is three, C is four, D is the fifth note so now we have a G string on the base and it's neighbor on the base will be a D. Count 5 more D-E-F-G so a G note or string is the next one and it's over the middle and into the treble side of the violin, and count another five for an A note or string and do it again for your next one or a E note or string. There are many tunings I don't know, Banjo, Sitar, wind instruments etc, but it really is all math, music is a math form for listening. Best I can do & hope it helps.

what strings are recommended? I've broken 4 strings trying to tune up to A! Tried 10's 9's and 8's, they always snap as soon as I get up to around G.
Not sure if you got a response but one trick is to make sure to use thick pic
@@JDMUWFGIS Hi, thanks for the reply but I don't get as far as using a pic! It's getting the strings on and tuning to A is the problem
have you tried lowering to A
@@nigelhillier4611 You need really light gauge strings to keep the tension down.
hello did you solve the problem with the tuning of the first string in A
Please, what strings should I buy when I want to play jazz on tenor 17 fret? Thanks a lot.
Standard Tenor Banjo Strings
C-G-D-A kids
This applies to Tenor Guitar, Mandocello, and Mandola.
It sure does!
@@jr136100 Everything from Jazz, to the Kingston Trio sounds great on a Tenor Banjo.
Jazz Banjo Academy But for mandocello it will sound one octave below so mandocello is the octave mandola
@@ised-5239 There's also the Cello banjo which is the same pitch as a Mandocello & the brand new Mandocello Banjo.
@@RockStarOscarStern634 Yes the cello banjo by Gold Tone it is the baritone tenor banjo
Dude just time the damn thing so we can copy it

Yes, a most unhelpful video
@@MrPHart I want the strings played so I can actually tune the damn thing.
Bet the A string is prone to snapping probably can't get past B.
Just decide which tuning you want and then go to any tuning app if you don’t have an electronic tuner.
Here's 2 most comanly used tunings
