Banjorine, also known as Banjourine or Banjeaurine, were part of Banjo Orchestras in the 1920s and 1930s. They have shorter necks than traditional 5-string banjos, and are tuned a 4th higher, in C. There were normally 2 of these insrruments in a Banjo Orchestra.

Banjorines were most notably constructed by S.S. Stewart.
