Adad tuning on mandolin?

[jmcgann]

I think it's not practical to change tuning all the time on a double stringed instrument indeed, especially during a gig or at the session.

I tried to explain to my wife this very concept as to why i need 5 Octave mandos, 5 mandolas, 5 Citterns (actually 6), etc.

It didn't flush at all

Roger Tallroth of swedish folkmusic "supergroup" Vasen, uses ADAD as his "standardtuning" on 12-string guitar, tenorguitar, mandolin, mandola etc.

Check the group for some high-speed string folkmusic, www.vasen.se. They've several cd's out and tours Europe and the US on a regular basis.

Thanks for the info about Roger Tallroth!

I am using DGdg as my standard tuning on tenor banjo, and low ADad on "Irish-derived" tenor banjo.
