Thread Name: Re-entrant tuning: why?
Subject: RE: Re-entrant tuning: why?
In the 40+ years I've been playing banjo, I have never heard it characterized as having re-entrant tuning. I'll mention that in the my next jam.
If memory serves me, Microsoft DOS was characterized as non re-entrant code.
Anyway, I play re-entrant tuning because it, along with the clawhammer rhythm, produces the banjo sound I love.
I've heard other instruments clawhammered but it sounds a bit lame to my ears.
