Banjotuning

I tune my banjos in my own way. Tenor is a bit to
sharp for me and I dont play plectrum. So I
have shifted the C(wound) and D(plain) strings.
The tuning and stringauge is from 4.th
C(0.16(plain) G(0.18 wound) D (0.28 wound) and A
(0.08 plain).
That gives me the sound I like.
I use Oettinger tailpiece to aadjust tensionand
dynamics.
