Is it the same as what some call a Tahitian 'ukulele? I can't hear a difference between the two if there is one. To me, they both sound like an 'ukulele that is tuned differently than a Hawaiian one, which I know is pololei as the c and e strings are an octave higher than they are on Hawaiian ones. Please clarify.

hi `alika,
on mo`orea they were the same. they're called a "banjo" because of the way they're made, but they sound more like an `ukulele.
for what it's worth, on mo`orea a local called it "te `ukurere", and called the hawaiian style uke a "te kemaka".
aloha,
keith
