If it’s only a question of volume, you can avoid the dark path of the banjo with a resonator mandolin.
Re: Coming from uke: Tenor guitar or Mandolin? 🎻Johnny Jay, Melody Player 🎻 one year ago. If you aren’t particularly advanced, then you could just as easily transfer to any instrument and start from scratch. Of course, it also depends on your present level as far as the Ukulele is concerned. If you are just interested in backing, then a regular guitar would be the obvious first choice. You can always move to tenor guitar/banjo, octave mandolin, or bouzouki later. The latter are also tuned differently from the Uke but these instruments will involve less “stretching” for notes and chords just as you have been used to with The Uke. You’d be as well off with the mandolin or fiddle. So moving to tenor guitar wouldn’t necessarily be that much easier for you. In fact, the baritone uke is tuned DGBE just as the higher strings of the guitar. The Ukulele is actually closest to the regular six string guitar than any of the instruments you mentioned. Well, you can also buy some decent ukuleles and they also come in different sizes…soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. “due to it’s small size (from what I’ve been told anyway) it sometimes has some really out of tune notes”
