I understand. It's not that common. Maybe one day it will. The standard tuning for Venezuelan cuatro is A D F# B. Taking into consideration that B is in the lower octave. So it's similar to the soprano ukulele, but instead of having treble in the outer cords it has bass. There are other tunings: G C E A and E A C# F#. These latter tunings are ascending. And the playstyle changes dramatically between the standard and the others. One is more focused in strumming and the other in plucking.
