I was wondering what your instrument is tuned to and how do you know what tuning is best for the drones? This particular Hummel as beautiful as it is has a few issues, one of which is that some of the tuning pins are prone to slipping. I have an idea to take out the offending pins, rub rosin on the threading and put them back in deeper should take care of the problem. Then I might try different tunings but there is no way to capo it. So fretted strings DAD drone strings DADD is working for me.
Don't Forget - it's "World Wide Play Music On Your Porch Day!" Thank You - for listening Strumelia, Ken and Irene, and FOTMD Folks in general, I do intend to make more videos playing this Hummel. Please visit and subscribe to my mostly Bowed Psaltery YouTube Channel.
