Kevin - I would tune DA which is what I usually use on my 2 stringer
Hi All, I have strung my 2 stringer with E & A strings from an electric guitar, could anyone please advise me as to the best string combination, and to what notes they should be tuned to. I have heard that some players have a particular string, but tune it to a different pitch. Any thoughts would be be most appreciated.
Hey Rick, I like that deuce a lot. I care about a player and will take that and tradition most of the time too. Paper board very often sounds great.
I was hoping to spend the day with the kids but they were mostly interested in coloring and TV, so I ran downstairs for an hour or so and threw together this 2-string cigar box. While true to the original concept of cbg, (more desire to play than money to buy), it is pretty much a POS compared to the workmanship, and time for that matter, that I see the people here exhibiting in their builds. 1" dowel, zither pins from busted autoharp, 2 screws for nut, tremolo claw from a junked electric for bridge, braided clothesline for strap, and the cigar box (though possibly 30 years old) is American paperboard. BUT it is fun, I am working on my 2-string chops, and appreciating the virtues of the round neck on a 2-string. I can easily play melody and thump the bass, or play a harmony pair depending on how I tilt my cut-off wine bottle neck. Tuned relative 1-5, or g-d.
nice job,j'aime beaucoup,the death play whith 2 string....
