That's not even a C#. It's a D at 435 Hz or so.

@oshidonimlop I was about to say that actually haha.

I needed this so bad. But what I now need more is some help changing the strings & getting it set up . CAN ANYONE HELP?

[HexagonalBolts]

Hmmm, it's a bit late, but how do you need help? it's not that complicated if you just take you time and perhaps look up a guide, a guide to stringing a guitar may be helpful as well

[dontbeakakke]

Please explain why it "works better to tune to C#". I think you mean "this is the way it's always been done, so don't change it".

[mikezimmer999]

Hummm... You're right, but it's only recently that there's anything like a "standard pitch" in Indian Classical music. In the past, the instrumentalists yield to the vocalists and adjust accordingly, and that'll still happen in vocal performance.

[guitarsquiddy]

All arund the world standard pitches were not available until quite recently. Beethoven and Mozart did not have their instruments tuned to 440 Hz.
