Easy. 99% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 7.
It is a hornpipe, written in 2/4.
Yes. Tenor banjo, mandolin and octave mandola are all tuned GDAE, so the tab above is identical for all three. A bouzouki tuned GDAD needs the top string adjusting, which the converter handles.
