I have just built my self a three string dulcijo, and presently have it set up and tuned (5 1 5 ) g C g . Very playable like this and loads of fun. Allows alternate open drone string top or bottom. My question comes in on the 2nd instrument , 4 strings, with one of them being a short string, and chromatic scale. I am accustom to playing a three string stick tuned in (1 5 1 ) such as CGc Or DAd. Finally to the question-- where do I set the short string for best results. the root or the 5th? Duciaddict

Wendell I don't really know for sure about your question, I tune my tenor banjo 4 string with a high G on the 4th string and that lets me play clawhammer with it with the tunning at gDbe or I guess it would go dDbe or as a short scale ukulele they are tuned gCea I sure like the looks of your instruments and have copyed some of the plans and hope to build one of them soon, Right now in the process of a hammered Dulcimer and then a cookie tin banjo from your plans next. Charlie

Charlie, Thanks for the input, I will have to see what equivlent my strings will reach and give it a try. At the present not doing well on a 5 string like standard banjo tuning of gDGBe the "B" gets in my way, the note is never where my fingers want to look for it. Maybe what I really need is g D G e. Anyway you have me thinking again, now if I can put this little three stringer down long enough to give it a try. Wendell
