The C and G strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1. The root is the C string itself. It sounds from C3 up to A#4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 12.
It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
