Banjotuning

• I tune my banjos in my own way. Tenor is a bit to
  sharp for me and I dont play plectrum. So I
  have shifted the C(wound) and D(plain) strings.
• The tuning and stringauge is from 4.th
  C(0.16(plain) G(0.18 wound) D (0.28 wound) and A
  (0.08 plain).
• That gives me the sound I like.
• I use Oettinger tailpiece to aadjust tensionand
  dynamics.
