The 28, part 6

In this blog post from last month, I discussed the latest string/tuning setup on the 26-string Double Subcontraguitar.   In that post, I mentioned the as-yet untried option of a 28-string scenario wherein the first two triple courses on the octaves tuning side (the right neck) were tuned to diapason/octave/octave.  

I've tried other triple-course tunings on this instrument, but not that one. 

Yesterday, I again changed the string/tuning configuration on this instrument.  I converted the first two courses on the 26 back to triple courses, and tuned both in diapason/octave/octave.  As expected, it's quite sonorous.  

I'm not sure how I feel about it.  I do like it.  I'll need to live with it a while and see where it goes.  I will be trying it an upcoming recording session.  Doing so will reveal more.

No doubt there will be more to come.
