How do you do the cello tuning? Assuming you're not using a tenor guitar, it's CGDA on the lowest four, then do you just keep going up in 5ths to EB for the last two strings or do something else?



Not GP, but I also have a guitar tuned in fifths.

A high `B` string wouldn't last 10 minutes... I've seen schemes that have a G there, I went for two CGDAAE, which is not too hard a change from the usual guitar tuning (though I ultimately dedicated a guitar to that tuning, as did the GP).


I go for double high E strings. CGDAEE. The ringing unison is pleasurable to me and my hands are large enough to finger minor and major thirds easily.
