Guest poster 17 Oct 11, 02:31 PM: Google for mandolin chords and you will find a lot of stuff... I once tried to use a banjo uke as a travel instrument in mando-tuning with steel strings - it worked somehow, but the sound wasn`t great. Not at all. On the other hand a friend of mine has one (with resonator made of a cooking-pot lid) that sounds good. Seems to depend on the instrument. Also I would think that a plastic head might work better than skin. Other way round I strung two junk banjos with nylon strings in gCEA like a uke. This worked much better. The bigger one (regular construction) sounds guiltarlike while the smaller one (zither-banjo-type pot) has a sound somewhat between guitar and dobro. Ernest
