Hello Bobby, The other guys are right, but I have an idea that I am currently using on my Hohner 6-string dreadnought. Try tuning down a step below concert pitch. I will show you what I mean from the 1-6 strings. 1. d 2. a 3. F 4. C 5. G 6. D This will make it easier to get a halfway "Leadbelly" sound out of any 6er. It is also easier to coax out "Irene" in Bb.
