A,D,G,B,E. But sometimes the A and D are strung an octave higher (to make a re-entrant tuning) and sometimes they are strung with both the low note and the octave. In the latter case the octave string is to the left of the lower string,when looked at from above. I noticed that Taro Takeuchi used the bordon on fifth and sixth on his Folias CD. And Lex Eisenhardt too?
