I have an Amicus now tuned to DADGAD and it works great...about to change strings, too...so could check...but I bet the tension will be too high on some of the strings. Someone else could have already tried it....

Good question.... I have tried E-A-D-G-B-E tuning with a number of types/guages of strings and also chatted with Alistair about it a couple of years back. His comment was it might work but that the issue would be the high E string as it would have a lot of tension on it. He was correct. I tried a number of gauges of strings for the high E and all broke before getting to E. In my experience, I do not believe it is possible given the current design. Welcome any other opinions and explorations. Capo on the second fret for me :-)
