GUEST,sceptic Tuning a Fiddle (51* d) RE: Tuning a Fiddle 29 Dec 05


Is there any published research to back up the contention that playing the fiddle in altered tuning is detrimental to the instrument ?

Many guitar players make a point of regularly altering the tuning by a quarter of a tone flat or sharp just to make the wood vibrate at an unfamiliar frequency.
