That'd be DAGGAD - a tuning I've not yet come across.

Tuning thread drift: I remember the first time I went to a concert of Indian music, a sitar I think, and this would have been a good time pre-Beatles.. I wasn't the only person there who didn't know much about Indian music.

Anyway, the musician spent a long time tuning, and I think he probably had some new strings that were stretching a bit. Finally he wrestled it into tune and swept his hand across the strings. Half the audience applauded, under the impression he had just finished his opening number.

I think the key thing is to do things as well as you can, but still be brave enough to do them even if as well as you can isn't very good. If you're naturally good at something, then you might be doing it for praise or reward; but if someone isn't much good, and still persists, you can be pretty sure they are doing it for the love of it.

And if you keep on doing something for the sheer love of it, in time that will very likely give it a quality that is actually worth listening to or looking at. Another favourite quote, from William Blake this time - "If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise."
