Two questions (I hope this is the best forum for this):
What is the difference between a piccolo mandolin and a mandolino? #(Are they even related?) #
Assuming one of those two represents the next higher register in the mandolin family, what is the correct tuning for it?
Oops, three questions....Has anyone ever tried putting a D string pair on the top of a regular mando, an A pair, next, then E, finally finishing with a B pair? #(I'm guessing this is piccolo/mandolino tuning.) # I know this would take very light strings for that B, but you can get .008"s, maybe tune them down a step and capo at the second fret to shorten the scale....
I'm thinking about trying this. # Comments, cautions, etc?
