Banjolas:
These instruments definitely have a unique sound. They don't sound like a typical banjo, but are played like one. I have seen them frailed, three-fingered, and picked.
Banjolas don't have as much volume as banjos, so they need a bit of help when played in a group.
The tone and temprament of these instruments are ideal for jazz, gypsy, and classical pieces.
The two major makers of banjolas are Gold Tone (http://www.goldtone.com/) and Victor (http://www.banjolas.com/).
Gold Tone makes a banjola with a pickup built in. This Pat Cloud model is souped up with abalone all over (even the truss rod cover).
