Any players out there?
Tuned CGDA, GDAE, DGBE or what?

A huge downside to keeping the house a few degrees colder - broken strings.

David, a ninth grade student, had never played guitar before in his life. I coached him for about 15 minutes before we recorded this YouTube video -- where he is playing a tenor guitar -- a four string guitar.

He was previously not a guitar player -- and is now a guitar player.

I recently acquired this 1931 . Currently keeping it tuned as an octave mandolin (GDAE), a fourth below standard tenor tuning.

! I bought this new "Kmise" brand tenor guitar from ebay for an absurdly low price.

at 30" long with a 21.25" scale length it's a little closer to an over-sized baritone ukulele, but it is indeed slightly larger than Kmise's bari uke model, and it's got a pin bridge with steel strings vs the usual ukulele nylon.

I'm pretty sure the body is all mahogany laminate.

It's a really well-made little instrument, absurdly well-made for about $70 shipped with a very nice gig bag. I haven't checked with a tuner but the intonation is spot-on and the action is nice and low all the way up the neck.

It sounds like you would expect a small-bodied laminate guitar to sound; not very loud and not a lot of low-end, but that's fine. I'll record something with a good mic once I've gotten to know it a little better.

I tuned it to CGBD and it will be a lot of fun to noodle around with. Since the scale is something like 5" shorter than a typical plectrum, the strings feel very taut; plus they're steel, which my fingers are not used to. I'll have to research lighter strings.
