Nice yea, the theory should work for any western style diatonic instrument. Violins and mandolins are tuned in reverse to gitbox in standard tuning using the circle of 5ths for the former and the circle of 4th's for the later, exept for the B string on gitbox which is tuned as a 3rd, a half step lower to repeat back to E

Wait, so funny. I commented on this last time to "save" it persay, because I knew I could find it again easily by my comment. I didn't have time to watch it then. But I came back to it, and why is the Blue Danube playing through your entire explanation?

So it goes. Love the Blue Danube beautiful piece. Hope the week has been going well for you thus far!!
