Description
Original Aire begins in F Major . . .
six string acoustic - all strings tuned down a full step from conventional method . . . Low string down two full steps . . . after trial and error -
torsion bar adjustment . . .
better pitch intonation this way and easier to do slides from fret to fret - and easier on the fingertips . . . (with this stagg jumbo acoustic)
certain 'Stagg' jumbo acoustic upper frets are so notoriously close to the fingerboard - that they would not even play unless tuned down in this fashion . . . plus more agility performing this way . . .
' Used thicker strings for a fatter output sonority etc. . . .
permission graciously granted to post watercolor by florida's baji milici - who has a site for her work . . .
. . . I have a longer version - but it seems better stated here . . .
