@sazji The tuning seems to be F# D# G# C# D#, which I think is standard sawmill tuning raised by 1.5 steps and with the 1st string lowered 1 step. I've never played in it before now, and it's actually a lot of fun. The sawmill tunes I know like Kitchen Girl (Cathy Fink has a fantastic duet version of this on youtube) and Cluck Old Hen sound great with the 1st string tuned down to the dominant 7th!
That was great! You can hear me playing this tune with the great old time fiddler , Eldia Barbee, at my YouTube site on a field recording from 1978 or so. If you'd been there, he'd have me playing guitar ... if he'd let me play at all! - Ron
Hi Cathy! Great playing. Do you think you could shoot me a photo of the doughnut up close? I swear that's the same tone ring that I have in an old Bacon pot. I thought it was for the Bacon internal resonator set up, less the internal resonator itself. I just don't know!?!?!
Beautiful.
