diatonic tuning?

Post by Carl Yamamoto »

Anyone else experimenting with diatonic tunings?
I've been playing around with this 10-string tuning:

A sort of modified Byrd tuning. I'm finding it can handle voicings from just about any other sort of tuning: C6, Leavitt, B11, simple 1-3-5 tonic, etc. One example:
