After countless hours spent appreciating Tobious Elofs music finesse, more importantly that incredible tone using vibrato, flawless finger work and D tuning to get that crystal clear sound, I wanted to experiment.
I previously owned A moon bird tenor and tried a thin gauge fluorocarbon string with little success (snapped overnight). I now play a concert moon bird and was wondering if I were to put tenor scale strings on and tune it to D6 would this compensate for the increased tension?
I’ve heard him mention in podcasts that he uses worth strings.
Anyone have any experience with D tuning in concert and tenor scales?
I’m aware you can by strings for this purpose but they all seem to be Aquila and I’m not a fan of their strings, I play slow and love the sound of fluorocarbons and would like to try and capture abit of that tobious magic for my own.
