I posted this on the Deering owners group but i think it warrants a second post here. I'm not sure what tuning this is but it sounds great!

	hartfordman says: 2/4/2011 8:14:56 PM That's Hartford's classic low tuning. This time it is in E-same noting as normal tuning, just dropped down until you get to E. (eBEG#B)
NickC says: 2/5/2011 8:40:46 AM Great. Thanks very much for the info Matt!
	TonyS says: 4/25/2011 3:30:47 PM Kinda like the Long Neck tuning. Do the strings flop at all?
	hartfordman says: 4/25/2011 4:44:51 PM No, the low tuned strings are thicker. Just about like heavy gauge strings.
	thombanjo says: 7/22/2011 5:17:24 AM I just love this video. Is it just me or does she seem to have a "reverence" for John's old banjo ? It's very moving to see
