hi folks. A friend has just built me a cigar box uke ( a strumstick essentially).

Confused by the string set he purchased for it though. I had always thought Cigar box ukes (3 string instruments, like a dulcimer etc) were standard tuned D-A-D.

anyone shed any light please? Much appreciated. jon
 
The small ("Standard") Strumstick is tuned G-D-G, the larger ("Grand") one is D-A-D.

Perhaps he purchased the standard set.

I don't know if there is a "standard" for cigar box ukes - I've no experience with them.
