tuning for slide mandolin

[epicentre]

Anyone know?

I used to tune a tenor banjo to DGBD just to play barre when I got lazy, but have heard lately about "slide" mandolin, and would like to give it a try.

Any favourite tunings. Any tunings at all?

Anyone play slide mando?

With thanks;

perhaps, 1&5 lower and higher, IViv like, GDgd ,FCfc, etc , no 3rd, so major or minor difference is omitted,,, aka power chord

Seems like I read somewhere that Sam uses DADA on his slide but that would need to be confirmed here by somebody cause I don't recall where I read that.

I've played slide mandolin using GDGD, ADAD, occasionally GDAE, and on tenor guitar CGCG, CGDG, DGDG... lots of possibilities.
