A fine instrument. I own a few similar models. A bit high on the price but supply and demand does come into play. MIDI pickups are no longer available so a rare find. SA |

I believe baritone melody is the same as classic Grand minus the first string. If so, you would adapt well to Grand classic tuning. There were no alternate tunings for the first 20 years of The Stick's existence. Matched reciprocal was started to supposedly help with symmetrical string names, not ne... |
