completely off the original topic, but while we're in the general neighborhood of stringed instruments: I've had for a number of years, but never gotten around to learning to play, an instrument with the body of a small banjo, but the head and 8 strings of a mandolin. 1. What the hell is it?
2. How is it tuned? (I'm recovering from some neck surgery and need something besides this keyboard to build back the lost manual dexterity) 3. It's presently strung with sets of identical pairs of strings, rather than the one-high, one-low that I recall on the pairs of bass strings of the twelve-strings of my misspent youth. Is this an option, or a brain fart?
3. Since I also now enjoy the lost high frequencies associated with having played with cannons in an earlier incarnation, and with miscellaneous sidearms in the recent past, I expect that I'll need to buy one of those newfangled electronic tuning forks. Any suggestions?
