Sadly yes I do I have both. I mentioned earlier that it wasn't a guitar but a fretted viola da gamba. I'll have to scan the pics as this was before the world went digital. Likewise the soundclips I have are pretty raw and on minidisc so I'll have to rip them. I'll do my best to get round to it.
Well yes and no. You can take steps to tune a little better right across the fingerboard. Just tuning the open strings still leaves a lot of stuff to the mechanics of the strings under tension and nut hight action saddle height etc. Miroslav's post #42 is pretty much how I see it and I will still tune by ear depending on the instrument setup. It all depends what I'm trying to do at the time. Live, recording, just fiddling. I'll possibly approach all three differently.
I was just playing around with VP to try and get him to understand that much of what he states is either nonsense or bleedin' obvious. He has trouble distinguishing between the two most of the time. Like the way I have just got him to realise that his initial post in this thread was telling people he can do sums and use a tuner.
Please do not think or speak for me.
