Thread Name: Tuning Down to accommodate voice
Subject: Tuning Down to accommodate voice
I searched Tune Down, Tuning Down, Full Step, Half Step and so on but didn't turn up another thread on this topic. Please attach this post to the end of one if it exists.

My voice has deepened over the years, and some time ago I began tuning my guitar down to accommodate it. I'd gladly use different chordings if that would do the trick, but most of the pieces I play have fretboard work that would be lost in the change.

Just wondering if anyone else has had to tune down in this way. Any tips, stories? Be nice if there was a device like a capo that worked in the opposite direction.
