Current instrument tunings

Because it really is kinda funny.  Eight stringed instruments in the house, eight different tunings.  Only one instrument is in its natural tuning.

Here's where they're at:
  • Mandolin:  G3-D4-A4-E5 (natural tuning)
  • Strat:  C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (Guitar Craft standard tuning)
  • Fretless:  Bb1-F2-C3-G3-D4-G4 (experiment - 5ths with 4th on top)
  • Banjo:  G4-G2-D3-Bb3-F4 (experiment - open Gm7)
  • SoloEtte:  Bb1-F2-Bb2-F3-Bb3-F4 (experiment - open Bb5)
  • Ibanez dreadnought:  B1-F#2-D3-F#3-C#4-C#4 ("Raindigger" tuning - open Bm9)
  • Ovation:  C2-C3-D3-G3-A3-D4 ("Aerial Boundaries" tuning)
  • Classical:  C2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4 ("Scratch" tuning:  partial capo on 3fr, strings 1-5)
I guess we'll see what changes first!  :-)
