INSTRUMENT TUNINGS
Note: Below you will find a large number of stringed musical instrument tunings. While making use of these tunings please be aware of the fact that the final pitch of a given instrument may have variables in scale-length, string-thickness and overall stability of the instrument. Please use the relative tuning between the strings as a guideline. Some guitars for instance sound better with heavy gauge strings but tuned to a lower pitch. Any suggestions are always welcomed!
