David:

Please tell us more about open string tuning.  Only 2 years new in the
business and still finding out what I don't know but getting better
hopefully.

Never heard of open string tuning till your post.  I've done that very thing
but only to make small corrections and have used it as a time saver...please
tell us more.

And...I really need to thank all (many) those who replied to a message I
posted several months ago about...smooth, creamy and delicious tunings I
hear from Peter Clark...at the time I was getting fairly depressed about my
tunings but things have gotten somewhat better...Thank you all.
