So , mandolin is popular fer backin' up yer fiddlin' fun ...
How 'bout adding a little more twang with a banjo mandolin ? more fun ..
And now that Pierre has Ukulele in stock , I'm wonderin' what a Ukulele strung with half a set of mando strings and mando tuning would sound like ? Anyone tried it or willing ?
Have fun ...Be happy

Well Tucs
I've got a uke that I don't use so I may give it a go.
I may have to check that tuning won't snap it in half. 
Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of 
..... What was I saying????

I had a look at perch polls on banjos (I didn't know what one was 
) The word gad me thinking of fishing.
I hope that I can get away without one.
I figure that a way to go would be to replace one string at a time and bring it into tune and see how things sound and look. And then on to the next one.
Will do some more research

Interesting idea. I guess using the strongest one would be advisable. We have Ovation mandolins in stock too.
