Tenor Banjo tuned like a Mandolin
I ran into a guy playing a Gibson Jr Tenor Banjo from the 20's. It was tuned EADG and had silk n steel strings. The neck scale was obviously short enough for that tuning. Anyone know if any other manufacturers made a short scale like that? It was a blast to play! Anything similar out there? There was one posted in the classified but the ad is gone. THANKS!
