Either high D or low d.
This is an off-shoot of my earlier post: “Tenor tuned DGBE with large body: Closest to a guitar sound?” And is also high subjective. But this post is specific to the following Tenors (most if not all of which come tuned gcea):
Ohana BKT-70G, Mahogany or Acacia body?
Romero Creations Grand Tenor?
Mele Jumbo Tenor?
Ono 18” scale Tenor (not sure if larger body is an option)
Pete Howlett Baby Baritone (may not be feasible for many reasons)
A Pono?
Others?
If you have played one of these tenors in D (or d)GBE tuning, please indicate the wood composition and the strings used, since these affect the sound.
Also, has anyone tried wound strings not just for the D and perhaps G but also for B and E?
