Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The guitar is a bit lower than standard tuning, but I don't think it's entirely down a half-step. I don't know.
Daniel Johnston tuning was always a bit off.
