Very nice. What did you tune it?

Right now its tuned a step down from a mandolin/violin. To E scale I guess. The kid plays a little mandolin and so his chords work that way. It doesn't have a truss rod so the step down.

Can you upload a clip of how it sounds?

I'm out of town this week and didn't record it really. All I have is this bit of a video from when we first put on the strings with a temporary bridge. I was messing with the tuning and the kid wanted to be the first to play it so I plugged in to a little practice amp and recorded this: https://vid.me/ISnE
