could be g.a.s.
Posted by: dmcevoy <dmcevoy@...>
Playing one probably feels similar to a tiny twelve-string. I believe
someone told me that it's tuned like a ukulele -- so that would be either
A-D-F#-B or G-C-E-A -- but I couldn't begin to tell you how to deal with the
pairs. I figured it would be great for developing lead lines and fast
chording, but I figured I'd never be able to stuff my fingers into those
tiny frets!
I've had some interest in this and the banjo myself. Keep us posted.
