| I'm considering a Baritone, so I wanted to get feedback from those who have the experience in adjusting their playing techniques. So, post at your leisure. When I look for one it will be an Ovation...
Thanks,
Steve |

Location: Upper Left USA | If you run with the standard "D" tuning on the Baritone it isn't difficult to adjust if you have long or average finger length. Try using a partial or "Cut" Capo on the second fret and it will be "normal" feel with a DADGAD tuning.
When I had mine I didn't use the "odd" string setups that are possible. I did get some .074" strings from online and then string Heavy's with the "E" in the "A" position. Very deep. |

| That's good news then. I strung my Legend with D'Add heavys and tuned down to C standard. The bass string was a tight fit in the nut. I remember the scale on the Longneck I played once was longer, but the number of frets didn't change, so it might be a bit of an advantage playing intervals in the upper register. |

Standard scale vs. Baritone scale..
