I'm working on a 3-tune set of simplified Shadows tunes for mandolin, guirat & bass, and I've hit a problem with "Apache". As written, the tune calls for a low "F" at one point. Has anyone tried tuning a normal cheapish electro-acoustic (mine's a Samick) to FDEA? I don't really want to transpose it if I can avoid it as it has a nasty effect on the bass. The alternative is to hand half the tune to the guirat (there are lots of repeats / near repeats). Ideas gratefully received.
(The other two tunes if anyone is interested are "Foot tapper" and "Atlantis" 'cos I can't find a usable set of dots for FBI)
