I've been playing tenor guitars now for almost 2 years, it's been like being a child again (not that I've ever grown up). I've played around with GDAE for tunes/chords & CGDA for bass. I wasn't satisfied with the sonics from a CGDA body with GDAE tuning so I started buying 6 string guitars (which I can't play) & converting them to tenors. I found a huge improvement in the sound with the larger body, my latest being a jumbo bodied guitar.
A few months ago I noticed that a half size cello has a 580mm (23") scale length, so I bought one, removed the C string, shifted the others down & put on a 12 gauge guitar string for the E. Pesto I now have a great sounding tenor violin & yes that's its official title. Now I'm off in the same path with this tenor violin thing with a full size cello, I tried a 9 gauge but it's a bit weak tonaly. So any suggestions from you multitalented mutiinstrumentalists ? (Next I'm having a five string 17"custom made for my chin GDAEB)
