Just an experiment related to a thread about the tuning folks used for Shady Grove. Just picked up my seldom-used fretless, twisted the knobs arbitrarily until it sounded cohesive, and then tried to find Shady Grove. This was admittedly recorded on about the third take so it didn't sound TOO lost and awful, but conversely this was only the third take so forgive any rough edges.

Nice sound. So did you note the notes of the tuning?

Thanks, Janet.
It turns out I was tuned quite close to fCFCEb.
