Due to free time after rehearsing with three electric bands, I took out my Kenny Hill New World Player with the elevated fretboard and thought for awhile.

Instead of DADGAD, which is a bit floppy tension wise, I tuned it up instead.

Lots more volume, crispy taters, and better sonic enhancement my aging ears.( Head injury knocked 60% hearing from my left ear)The dual sound ports help out.

Anyone else so inclined to use this retuning?

Capoed to 2nd fret to get it, which makes some tunes easier to play in the same key as the fiddlers or the pipers, but never as a base tuning.
