Re: new standard tuning


In other words, RF's NST is another modified violin-based tuning:

        violin: G D A E
        NST:(C) G D A E (G)

I think NST would have been perfect fifths if the string technology
and instrument capabilities would have supported it.

I think this is not dissimilar to the tuning of a viola-de-gamba, a
fretted 6-string bowed viola-like instrument.
