| I would like to add one small point. I have a 10-string that I sent back home for a full retrofit. It came back as a wonderful and very playable instrument. I have experimented with tunings, going from Classic to Baritone and now back to Classic. What I found was that I really want both the high str... |

| I'd like to add a note for the DIYers on the forum. I have recently found this site with lots of good circuit designs: http://www.muzique.com/ One of the circuits that I intend to try out is this one which just actively combines inputs to a single output. It looks interesting to me just for those oc... |

| First thing I noticed is that it's warm there! I just took my kids to school because it's -8 F (-22 C) outside. Then, of course, I noticed the music. I think I will have that tune in my head all day. You seem very comfortable and effortless in your playing. I hope to look a bit like that some day. I... |

I just switched from Baritone Melody to Classic. I wanted to play some pieces that have a higher range. So far, I'm liking it better. Once I get my 12-string I will have both classic and baritone tunings!

| Hi, all. My old AKG K 240 headphones are in serious need of replacement. What's everyones' favorite for Stick? I practice with headphones lots when the kids finally go to sleep. I'm looking at the Sony MDR-7506, how's that as an example? That's the price range, too. I saving the serious money for my... |

I watched Greg change the tuning of a string during a tune. Amazing to watch.

Oh, man, now I really want my 12-string. Only a year away. These chords are exactly the things that I keep trying to find on my 10-string. You can only go so far without that extra string. I know there's plenty to learn with 10 strings and I'm working hard to get ready.

| looking for more input, Just wanted to keep this thread in people's heads... Thanks! In anticipation of my future 12-string, that might be less than a year away now, I'm going to tune my 10-string back to Standard tuning. I have noticed that I really don't use string 5 of the Baritone tuning and I'... |

| Only one vote... I didn't realize my Mom was on this forum... Ha! Actually, some us haven't voted because you need an option of "All of the above". Without a teacher you need all the resources you can get. All the books are great and have their own own focus and strengths. I even have you... |
