I have a 5-string resonator tenor guitar with a 22 inch scale, set up in GDAEA tuning which works great. A potential buyer would like to tune it DGDAE as he's a bouzouki player and would like that low D. He's hoping to use flatwound strings with a 55 gauge D string. My instinct is that the scale length is too short to cope with that, even with a heavier gauge 55 but I was wondering if anyone had tried anything similar?
Thanks in advance for any input.
