Yes, a tenor banjo can be converted to a banjolele, but it requires significant modifications. The neck and scale length would need to be adjusted, typically shortening the neck to accommodate the shorter scale of a banjolele. Additionally, changes to the tuning and possibly the body may be necessary to achieve the desired sound and playability. However, this process may not be practical for all instruments and could affect their value.
