06 Apr 04 - 07:21 PM (#1156119) Subject: RE: Tech: Playing Baby Taylor From: Strick Yes. I have one and tune it and play it just like a regular guitar (badly in my case :D). I hear some people do tune Baby Taylors higher for a different sound, but that's by choice. |

06 Apr 04 - 08:43 PM (#1156169) Subject: RE: Tech: Playing Baby Taylor From: Bee-dubya-ell Baby Taylors sound exceedingly cool in "Nashville high-strung" tuning. That's where the low E through G strings are pitched an octave above standard just like the octave strings on a 12-string. (The high E and B are same as standard.) Bruce |

06 Apr 04 - 11:45 PM (#1156277) Subject: RE: Tech: Playing Baby Taylor From: Kaleea Good luck attempting to tune a "baby" taylor. I had one before I knew that they have been cranked out for years with flaws intact--the worst being that none I have ever heard are tunable. The one I had was so far off that you could raise the pitch by over 1 1/2 steps (3 frets) just by moving your finger to a different spot on the same string in the same fret. I wouldn't wast any $$ on one. Buyer Beware! |

07 Apr 04 - 08:45 PM (#1157092) Subject: RE: Tech: Playing Baby Taylor From: Strick I admit I had to learn to play my BT carefully because I was unintentionally bending the strings. I use lights on mine. It was OK with practice and actually helped my playing. I developed a lighter touch. I'll also admit I don't care for the tone of mine. I eventually put it aside except in certain circumstances and went with an 00 sized guitar for most travel, what I wanted it for. |

07 Apr 04 - 09:18 PM (#1157113) Subject: RE: Tech: Playing Baby Taylor From: GUEST,Fred Miller I have a "big" baby, and it holds it's tune pretty darn well, though my epiphone and gibson seem to stray after a while. It may be sensitive but maybe because I sometimes noodle on a ukulele (super wobbly) it doesn't register for me. The taylor has a high bright mandolinish tone that I like with my voice--though it's ostensibly for my kids. |
