The beauty of these forums. I had a uke once and tuned it like the top 4 strings of a guitar. E-B-G-D. Then again when I played around with a banjo I did the same thing. And a mandolin... It's the neck and fingerings I know, so....



Also known as "The Tedesco Trick" after the late great session man, Tommy Tedesco, who did the same thing with those instruments and even famously on a Balalaika for movie soundtrack work - the more instruments you could cover on those union gigs, the higher the payscale earned. So Tommy bought a trunk full of used stringed instruments and tuned 'em all like his guitar...
