Hi Bratsche (I love violas, by the way!) - When you tune a tenor to 5ths, what strings are you using?
All - I've tried nylon fluorocarbon fishing line (a Cafe member gave me the tension and diameter to use) and the E strings broke immediately. I just got some Aquila Reds, made for mandolin, so we'll see. I heard that the E's break on these too. I'll try it on my 13" Lyon & Healy (which I hate to do, but otherwise it is not going to get played).
