Hello Ulricus: The melody strings in the video are tuned from high to low: DD-DD-AA-DD, which you may know is in the Mixolydian mode. The 7 sympathetic strings are tuned in a similar way. I have used other tunings as well, including tuning each pair differently. I looked at your web site and enjoyed you playing your 'real' Hummels. Beautiful. I have also transcribed some swedish Nyklyharpa music for mountain dulcimer...it is some of my favorite music to play....Robert
