I have a bad habit of monkeying around with tunings when I get a new instrument... anyway I just got a beautiful amazing wonderful ohana tiple that I purchased here in the marketplace. it sounds so so good. I was inclined initially to retune it to Ee aAa eEe aa but I think I would like to keep it in the gcea family.
I will likely, at least initially, use it to play some old time music, particularly the modal sounding stuff. Currently I'm working through:
a minor version of Snowdrop
Shady Grove
Wayfaring Stranger
all of which I am working out on gcea.
But I'm looking for other ideas. Any thoughts? in a perfect world I'm working on learning the songs by listening rather than tabs, so I'm really looking for song titles or examples...
many thanks!
