Hi All,
I have a Deering Goodtime banjo, and was wondering if any of you have ever converted it to 4 strings with a ukulele tuning. I'm not using it as a banjo much, and thought that, if this was an easy change, I might try it. For those of you who've done anything like this, how did you do it? New strings? Would nylon be necessary, or could this work with banjo strings? Simply get rid of the 5th string and retune? (if so, to what?)
Thanks!
Rich B.
