I had to go look that up. I know a fiddler and I know she tunes E-A-D-G, so I assumed that the viol family was tuned in fourths. It turns out that wikipedia agrees with you though, and says that the double bass is the only one that's tuned the other way. It never occurred to me that she was tuning backwards -- then again, she might say the same thing about me.
