My brother brought me a nice little seemingly well-made charango a few years back that I've never played, and to be honest -- playing guitar and mandolin a bit too -- I'm just not up to learning a new instrument with totally different tuning. So I'm thinking about tuning its five string courses to the same as the top five strings on guitar, A-D-G-B-E (or maybe drop-A!?).
It's sure a pretty-sounding instrument.
Anyone with experience on these and especially with more standard tunings?
