TENOR BANJO

The Plectrum tuning concert pitch notation
Standard notation for pitch
The first string D can be tuned, stopped at 7th fret, to A= 440hz
D|------------|------------|--------0++?|7++?=A=440Hz|D
B|------------|--------0++?|0+++3+++--"?|------------|B
G|--------0++?|0+++4+++--"?|------------|------------|G
C|0+++7+++--"?|------------|------------|------------|C

 Tip:
 A simple diatonic Key of 'C' harmonica, with 10 holes,
 is as good as a pitch pipe,
 to tune the Plectrum strings,
 from the 1rst(Blow), 3rd (Blow and Draw), and 4th (Blow) holes.
 The lower pitch harmonica row shows the C Major Triad _C E G_ 
can be blown through 3 Octaves and a 4th octave of C Natural, 
so 12th fret banjo notes can be checked with the higher pitches
 of ~C_G_B_D~ up one octave. A G Major chord can be 
found in the lower Drawn notes of the first 4 holes with 
a G(7) added on the 5th hole's ("F") _xDx[G B D (F)]

     Blow [|C|E|G|C|E|G|C|E|G|C|]
    Hole#:_1.2.3_4.5.6_7.8.9_10
 In conclusion (I digressed):
 Other sources might show the 2 rows switched, top to bottom. 
 Since "C" is lower that "D", 
I've used that convention, in logic.
 Wail on!
