Drop C Tuning

[tauzero]

Couldn't you tune the B up a semitone, then put an A string on in the E string place and tune it to G, a D instead of an A and so on, all tuned down a tone, so you're tuned the same as the bottom strings of the guitar?

Well they are designed so that if you drop C (CGCF) they will still have a decent tension to feel like a standard tuned balanced set
[/quote]Think I'll order some and see what they're like . Will have to see if they can handle multiple tuning up and down throughout a set - some strings go dead quickly doing that .

Cheers for that mate- I'll give 'em a go

Pulling them up to standard tuning, yes they will feel more taught than a standard set, yup that goes without saying

I just put a capo across the first frets on my 5er if I want an open C. No tension issues that way.
It does give you C natural rather than just a dropped C but it works for what I want.
