I have an old banjo uke (4 steel strings) and I took it to be refurbished. The fella doing the work had to drill out the tuner holes because he said he couldn't find any to fit it. Well, he put the steel strings on it and I couldn't get it to hold the "My Dog Has Fleas" without having to re-tune it after a couple of strums. He told me that it wasn't tuned that way. I believe he said the first chord was "A" and I can't remember after that what he said. I know how to play a regular uke and would like the uke tuning. Holding it as playing, he has the fattest string first, then going to the next they get smaller with the smallest string on the bottom. In other words, largest going down to the smallest. Does anyone know if this is correct? And, would I break strings trying to tune it to what I know? I would appreciate any help and I'm not sure if I know how to get back to this page so, could you email me please? It's to lynnricksmith@hotmail.com Thanks so much!
