It's a simple case of "if it ain't broke - don't fix it". The design works so well - that it's not changed since its invention. The only thing that's changes - is the materials the instrument is made from.
Pretty much it is the same way. If the instrument is strung the same way (mine is) you get the same chords and notes from the same string fret combinations. The banjolele tends to be louder. Many use a different strumming technique then they would on a standard ukulele.
The same as on a right handed ukulele. G'CEA just the opposite way.
it's the same as in English.
The shape is different, but there is no reason a ukulele couldn't have the same shape. The ukulele is normally smaller then a mandolin. The tuning is different as well.
A standard ukulele is a soprano ukulele. Most soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles are tuned the same, but there are a variety of choices. Most are set up with a G'CEA tuning, but there are other set ups for certain types of music.
the clock in clock court has stayed the the same. it even says the right time, the hammer beam ceiling in the grand hall has stayed the same, the statues at he entrance have stayed the same, the diaper brickwork in the front has mostly stayed the same and the kitchens
The ukulele is tuned differently then the bass. The baritone ukulele is tuned like the bottom 4 strings of a normal guitar.
