I am a Ukulele player and I am going to get a Mandolin. I tune all my ukes to C tuning gcea..even my Baritone uke. I cant see why, when I buy that mandolin, I cant tune the same WITHOUT BUYING MORE STRINGS.
ALL STRINGS STAY WHERE THEY ARE EXCEPT YOU SWAP THE TOP 4 STRINGS.
ALL STRINGS ARE EITHER THE EXACT RIGHT ONES, or are just one note out! The steel strings can be tuned then to match GCEA without any stress, or tight strings.
This way you dont have to learn new chord patterns and I dont think you miss out on any special sound that the mandolin has to offer. I am not an expert- but it makes sense to me ;especially if you are old and dont HAVE to learn a whole bunch of new chords.
