Location: Scotland | Just a thought to the the kind of message we're putting out here guys. Folyle, in his 2nd post, asks a serious question about open tunings, and within a few responses we get to the Highland Clansman Cross-dressing caber tossing club. Bearing in mind that everyone in the doctored pic is a regular tour attendee, I wonder how many people are cancelling their flights right now. |

It took almost a whole page. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I don't equate string tension to finish cracks at all - which was the original question.
I think you are looking at the wrong cause for the effect.
My favorite open tuning is Open G, which I have learned is "taro patch".

As to string tension and finish cracks...I don't think so. I could go with some bellying of the top behind the bridge (and maybe some sinking in front of the bridge as well), which *may* lead to finish cracks. But, if you're not seeing that, then the finish cracks are likely caused by something else. Like, maybe shrinkage of the finishing material? Dunno, I'm not a luthier and I don't play one on TeeVee.
As to open tunings...I have a hard enough time with standard tuning. There's no way I'm going to attempt learning how to play with an alternate tuning. Unless it makes the Potsy chord sound fuller, then I might try... :D |

Now, back to the salad tossers in plaid. |
