Mary:

What type did you get? 17, or 19 Fret? Open back ? How are you tuning it? As discussed above, there is standard tenor, and also Irish. Others tune theirs in "Chicago" tuning, which is the same as a baritone Uke, or the top four strings of the Guitar. That is how I currently have mine tuned since it allows me to use Uke fingerings.

I look forward to hearing you play at the next getaway. I'll even bring mine and we can really keep people up late at night :-).
