In this video, Shane Speal has his Rumbler cigar box guitar tuned to a low Open D tuning (DAD) and talks about the pursuit of creativity.

    Thanks for another lesson Shane. Like the low down.

    Thanks for the informative video on rigging a CBG for open D tuning by using the 3 lowest strings out of a set of standard guitar strings.  I also saw in your video where the bolt you had used for your bridge was positioned with the head of it closest to the lowest string which thereby worked to raise it a bit more to compensate for the increased lower string vibration on the neck (sorry - I'm an engineer/builder - and successful approaches like this to overcome problems grab my attention)...
