I notice that sometimes when I pick up one of my instruments it sounds very much in tune and "musical". This is never the product of having just tuned up with a tuner but I'm guessing that the instrument slipped into some type of tempered tuning. A happy accident.
For example on guitar bluegrassers will often tune their B string a bit flat especially when playing out of G position. Do any of you use a tempered tuning on your mandolin? Have you noticed a "formula" that seems to work in particular keys? Just curious even though I can keep mine in tune anyway :) Why do the old blues players sound so good yet sometimes out of tune to our modern ears? Here's an interesting article related to this. http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/just-desserts/Nov-05/15212 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
