"A" tuning okay?
I'm thinkingabout buying a classical guitar. I usually set my guitars to A tuning (F# B E A C# F#).
I figure a classical guitar is built for nylon strings, so it's surely a much lighter build than a guitar built for steel strings, right?
QUESTION 1: Would it be likely that a "typical" classical would be structurally strong enough to handle A tuning?
QUESTION 2: If Q1 is "Yes", then would I have to stick with low tension strings, or would it likely be okay to use high tension strings, at A tuning, if I wanted more volume?
P.S. Yes, I know an option is to set at standard D tuning & use a capo, but I prefer not to do that.
