retuning another Hugh Tracey

I just retuned one of these that I have:

so I can play this:

So much more fun than the original tuning.  You can hardly play a wrong note.  I had to rearrange the tines a bit to get that D and D# on the lower left.

Get out the kitchen knife and have at it, kids!

  • The trick is in the tuning. If you have every note, it is a big bore.  By rearranging and eliminating notes, you get a sort of pre-set flavor.  Start with a pentatonic tuning!

  • Diane, I am in awe.  I can barely get out "Mary Had a Little Lamb".  Amazing!
