Banjo tuning
I noticed the banjo is tuned in CGDA but standard tuning is gDGBD (open G). Can I change that? The 5th string isn't that important because it's the drone string, but the other 4 should be in standard tuning or the whole setup is useless.

Hi,
EarMaster's Banjo is a 4-stringed Tenor Banjo. The most standard tuning for that type of Banjo is CGDA. We would like to add the 5-stringed Banjo tuned in gDGBD that you mention, but the high-pitched 5th string is causing us trouble because of how the fingerboard interface is built. Could you please send a feature request to feedback@earmaster.com. That way,they will get it first hand and it will be easier for them to act on it.

Re: Banjo tuning
I suspected something about it being a tenor banjo. Does anyone play those? 
I'll send in a request to the email address mentioned and until then I'll just play the notes straight from the 5 string into the microphone. Works great! It would be nice to just change the tuning of the on screen 4-string that is already there because that would be a great help in getting to know my fretboard a bit better.
