First of all, all the parts have to be there!
- There is a tail piece that should have slots in it for the strings. This can be missing from the instrument.
- There has to be a bridge. The bridge is a small piece of wood with slots in it for the strings that sits on top of the skin. It isn't fastened on, so if there aren't any strings holding in place, it may no longer be there! A new one can be purchased for a small price through many music supply stores. The bridge position is critical! It should be the same distance from 12th fret as the nut is, plus just a titch. (The nut is the bar the strings come over off of the tuning pegs, or the 0 fret.)
- So, purchase a good set of banjolele strings from your favorite provider. They will be nylon and some of them may be wire wound.
- Knot the string in place on the tail, run it over the bridge, across the nut and into the tuning knob. Repeat and you should be good to go!

∙ 14y agoPlace the bridge the same distance from the last fret as the nut is from the last fret. Start installing the highest pitched string first until it is secure. Proceed with the remainder of the strings. After all of the strings have moderate tension proceed with proper tuning. Constantly making sure the bridge position doesn't change.
