Thanks for all the thoughts here. I am surprised to by the lack of interest in Terz tuning? Martin has made special editions of their 5-18 Terz many times over the years. I think people are probably taken back by their high price, but never see anyone with a Terz? Sting I guess uses one.

1) Taylor GS mini 2) Walden 1/2 size (don't remember the model) 3) Sigma TM15 or TM12 4) Martin 5 size of course but then again we are way above the 500-dish dollars limit. 5) Viellette terz (again pricey) 6) Sometimes old Harmony or vintage guitars come up on ebay but you just don't know how far from a repair job these guitars are. 7) There are other traveller size options but I have found their sound to be very boxy. Thanks for all your comments. I guess I just have to get myself to different shops which may have these guitars and test them out. /

Quite surprising, considering that, I'm fairly certain, Taylor did write about try tuning the Baby Taylor a full-step up: (F#-F#) a few years ago.

Tension = (Unit Weight x (2 x Scale Length x Frequency)^2) / 386.4 Note that Unit Weights here have to be in pounds per linear foot. It's pretty simple to set up a spreadsheet to play with the possibilities... Phil

Phil, thanks for the tip on the string tension calculator. I've been using that to see if I can get in the same ballpark tension wise and it appears to be quite possible (though Keith has already proven that). |
