[CAUT] GH1 tuning problem

[denisikeler at aol.com]

I'm pretty sure about this, the G1 and GH1 have identical scales.  So why does the G1 sound so much better, especially on those first few tenor notes?

I think part of the GH1's problem is the lowest plain wire, just above the 
break, in my opinion is too light.  To get that low of a note the strings have 
to be at fairly low tension. To me, lowest 6 notes or so sounded like a Hawaiian 
slack string guitar.  So I restrung one once with heavier gauge wire there and 
it was improved.  Probably what it really needed though was to have wound bass 
strings above the break.
