Post what tuning do you use?
Hi everyone,

I thought it might be fun to get a sense of what tunings are the most popular these days.

You can select up to 6 items, so if you have a modified tuning like the 12-String Classic , high bass 4th, then you can select two items to say that, and if you use two instruments with separate tunings, you can vote for both.

so I have a 10-string Baritone Melody and a 12-string Classic with high bass min 3rd

Well, you forgot to vote for your 12-string, so that's the equivalent of a hanging chad...

and you David, forgot to vote for the modification.

I've just enabled multiple voting in case you want to add to your vote...

Should i redesign the poll, is it that confusing? :)

I've been using deep bary melody/standard bass light guage strings for a while now.

I use MR tuning on my 10 string. When I get my NS Stick (hopefully in the not to distant future) it will be straight 4ths.
