Thanks for your comments. In response to the strings gauges - yes. The lowest tuning - GDAE 2 octaves below fiddle, and the CGDA, cello tuning, both use the string gauges that Gold Tone designed for this instrument. The Irish tenor tuning - GDAE, 1 octave below fiddle uses a lighter gauge. Both sets are nylon strings.
Pretty crazy to see it done with finger-picking, the traditional irish way is with a pleck, this sounds great, i dunno know how I'd go about triplets though!

Impressive.
Do you need to change the strings to change the tuning that far?

The way I do a triplet is thumb-1st finger-thumb. My hand feels much less *constricted* using fingers instead of a flat pick. Thanks for listening.
