Thanks D-S-W for the reply - I thought that would be the case
What tuning suits your voice - 'standard strings tuned down a step' -
is that standard 'dobro G tuned down to 'F' ?
What I'm trying to figure out is a good bluesy 'A' tuning for the
dobro without
putting too much pressure on the strings (or guitar - but I'm sure my
DeNeve would handle anything)
Any suggestions?.
Thanks again
Michael
