Of course, making instruments means either filling your house with instruments or selling them, just like all woodworking. <br /><br />If you haven't looked into the Min-eTune system (Tronical's invention) go spend some time on YouTube. By all accounts, it works pretty well. If you want to play with alternate tunings and don't want to either spend time re-tuning or have a half dozen pre-tuned guitars sitting around, it's really a good thing. Most traveling bands have a stable full of guitars tuned to different tunings, they don't hold up a concert for a couple of minutes to re-tune. I watched a video last night of a guy showing off a rack of guitars he uses, all of them tuned differently. <br /><br />It's the classic time vs. money trade. If you want to play this way, and only have an hour or less a day to play, spending a little money for the self-tuning guitar instead of the minutes re-tuning may not be a bad idea. Assuming you don't have to go into debt for it.<br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-77219723266297570062013-09-28T00:47:38.882-04:002013-09-28T00:47:38.882-04:00This guy is pretty serious, altho he seems stalled...This guy is pretty serious, altho he seems stalled lately.

Gonna have to pull out the RasPi and ... uhm ... something. <br /><br />Jim<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-31587969457965609632013-09-28T00:44:37.049-04:002013-09-28T00:44:37.049-04:00YOW!
