Old Sledge Tuning is AEAD (low to high). Fiddlers often tune low.
Here, it's a whole step lower: GDGC

Yes, GDGC.

According to Dave Bragger, Gellert is in GDGC tuning, not Old Sledge tuning (AEAD). FUN but a bit harder to wrap your head around.

Those are the exact same tunings a whole step apart. Shouldn’t be any harder to play in one than the other.

[@Seanconneryenator]

It sounds like the tuning is low calico tuning, so it would be GDGB. That or high calico, which is AEAC#. You could play it with either, assuming I'm not totally wrong.
