Looking at the strings, I would say CGDA. I also have one but I tuned it GDAE (GDA wounded). Probably one of the best cardboard guitar ever... Kind of cheap, the black painting of the neck cover a little bit the fingerboard, the fret are a little bit "soft", I had to change one after a few weeks and I gave it to a luthier for a professionnal set up. When playing it, you can feel it's a cheap one (lightweight and no visible wood), but it has a really great sound, no doubt about it, and that's probably the best low-priced tenor guitar.
@@TheYoumanist so funny story. I got this guitar from Elderly INstruments and it was tuned DGBE and so I left it that way but with the strings 10's I ws not liking the intonation. SO I took it to a guitar guy thinking it wasn't. good set up and it turns out it was the strings. I am used to 12s on my Taylor and so I guess I was pressing them weirdly or something. Well as soon as he changed the strings I fell in love with it. I have a Kala that is tuned CGDA and I have to teach my self that tuning... what number strings did you buy if i ever want to try that tuning?
@@MariaCalfaDePaul I use the John Pearse 450l tenor guitar set, perfect for GDAE tuning (available from Elderly Instruments). So, I guess I should call it a "guitar-bodied irish tenor banjo" (playable when children sleeps), or a "four strings guitar bodied octave mandolin". ;-)
Sounds great, how do like that guitar?
Sounds great. I’m thinking for taking the plunge. How do you like it and what tuning is that. It sounds really nice and mellow ! :)

@@TheYoumanist cool thanks !!
This sounds great. Also sounds pretty quiet. How loud does this get? Could it be played at an Irish Session and not be completely drowned out?
Puh, I never been to an irish session. I would say it almost as loud as an acoustic guitar.
@@eightstringmarkus Thanks for taking the time to answer. Great playing, too.
@@lonnieezell thanks a lot.
It depends on how drunk you are
so the sound board is not solid spruce?
@1300cc nope
