GUEST,Ophelia HELP! How to tune a 12 String (18) RE: HELP! How to tune a 12 String 28 Mar 01

Thanks guys, I will try the suggested tuning.

Had a quick cruise through the other threads (I am at work so can't be too long) and there seemed to be some discussion over whether to tune down and how far.

I have a washburn, I think it is a good one, not exactly sure, it is in pristine condition anyway. Doesn't seem to be very old either. Can Washburn's take the regular tuning or should I take it down. And if I take it down what should the 12th string be (what note)?

Can you get cappos that work as well on 6 and 12 strings or should I get a different one for the 12? On my six I am constantly cappo-ing to get a higher key (have a highish voice).

Thanks again guys,

Less confused
