Hello All,
Does anyone know how Donal Clancy tunes his bouzouki?
Thanks,
Geoff Maher

Carefully, I expect.

Ive often seen him using the twisty things on the head.

one peg at a time

He uses the parallel-peg tuning scheme.

NOT being flippant.....I think maybe a bit of you are looking for is in this discussion from 2003 about bouzouki tuning:-

Using an elaborate system of lenses and mirrors.

Yes,
I took a bouzouki class from Donal at last year's CIAW.
He tunes his bouzouki, (lowest pitch to highest pitch) G-D-A-D

Hope that helps.

Interesting how it took seven responses to get one piece of useful information.
