Re: Tuning to Flatt and Scruggs
Fascinating discussion.
One of the Monroe biographies - I think Smith - mentions that the bluegrass boys would all tune to concert pitch at the beginning of a tour and then tune by ear. By the end of the tour, they’d be in ‘mosquito’ frequency. So I wonder if that had something to do with it. (Acknowledging Earl said he liked to tune high).
