So, if you learn that, you can play those three. Four if you count the viola but I don't want to get into bows.

Click to expand... Hee! Hee! Hee! Tuning it to GDAE would probably have pulled the neck up like a ski slope...!!! It's tuned to CGDA. I just couldn't get very far with it other than chording it. I just got it out and boy does it ring out loud...!!!
