when the guitar makers build guitars they set the strings at medium hieght its worth the time and effort to have them lowered .. i found a luthier who does this for a living dont take it to a guitar shop where some hack in the back room will mess it up it didnt cost very much to have both guitars done and havent noticed no problems the ony thing i do know is that now i can play the tanglwood or the martin for hours and my fingers dont hurt any more and you right about the sound that the tanglewood makes .

i bought a tanglwood in july TW 115ST-LH it sounded pretty good in the store but it hurt my fingers alot hmm
after a few days of pain i decided i need somthing a lot better so i ordered a left handed martin D-28 the factory had to make me one while waiting i took the tanglewood to a guitar repair guy and he lowered the strings for me its now fantastic i just love it after ten weeks of waiting my martin arrived im having the strings lowered on that now too for the money tanglewood is a good guitar and quite well made and its made somewhere in the U.K and not in china like most of the guitars you will find in your local guitar shop

Re: tuners & pitch pipes (11 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
i used a pitch pipe for thirty years i would ony use it for the e-string and do the rest by ear it took a lot of patience
i recently bought a electronic tuner its a (seiko sat 100)
i had to get them to show me how to work it i think it great
it has a needle that shows if yor flat or sharp and when you get it right a green light comes on it also seems to know what string your trying to tune mine was about 25 dollars
and it well worth the money jerry
