A Tune-a-Fish Special
canjo can be tuned in many combinations but the arrangement in the image
above, F C, is a good place to start. It will make the two strings
sound good together as you touch both with the glass slide and move up
and down the neck. The small letter on each string is the note played by
that open string, and the arrows point to the knob used to tune the
named string. If you are getting comfortable with the canjo and want to
try other tunings have a go at G C or G# C.
