Went to SPBGMA in Nashville TN this past weekend and spent several hours with a friend in His recording studio . Bumpin Heads Recording Studio . The Musican is Markus Stadler . I have several Videos and sound Bites that I will post on various builds in time . This one is the Mand-Jo I built for the challenge . On Markus advice as a Professional Musican , he re-tuned it to Banjo tuning and this is what we have .

I wish I could figure out how to embed this thing [headinwall]

No I had not . It was instant , as soon as he re-tuned it you could tell he was right.

Yo, Wud, I like it, too. It does have a very woody sound to my ear. I'd love to hear it tuned to your original concept, as well, but there is certainly nothing wrong with this tuning. I do like it!
