Hello all,
I recently completed my latest build... a parlour-guitar-sized 6 string baritone (DGBE tuning). (Glamour shots upcoming... haven't got around to them yet). Anyway, I am trying to figure out the best tuning for it, and thought I would ask for suggestions.
Originally I had tried D3 G2/G3 B3 E4/E2 (i.e. using all 6 strings of a classical guitar string set), but it had way too much low end. I swapped the E2 with another E4 and it sounded much better.
I am still not sure about the G2 though. From what I am seeing, most 6 string tunings will either have a chorus G3/G3 or an octave G4/G3.
For the 6-stringers out there, what do you prefer?
Thanks!
