Re: Change keys....



We change keys all the time to accomodate singers. Simple to do.

I don't recall ever playing a tune where I was required to retune,
other than dropped D.

I can play in Eb all day long without having to retune. I guess if
you want the open strings ringing, it would require that. I don't run
into it, but with a chromatic tuner, just not that big a deal.
