Well, Kat, I play an eight string which I had fashioned from a six string. It is to a tenor guitar what a twelve string is to normal six string guitar. After a number (a large number) of years trying to play a six string guitar, I picked up a baratone uke and found that I could play it better on the first day than I could play the guitar after all those years. So I stuck with the uke for a year or so until I could afford a to get my first tenor. I tune it d-g-b-e.John
