At 7:49am on February 12, 2017, Paul Craig said…: I prefer 4 strings to the three so I can add a 3rd note or play chords with a 4th or 7th note. You play the usual 1 -5 -1 chords like the 3 stringers and a low 1 for drone note or go real low to use as a bass string. Lots of options.

I also have some tuned GDGB, which sounds good, but is mostly good for playing in the key of G.
