Thanks Rooster. It's 1,5,1 tuning. Usually G,D,g on this guitar but I tuned down to F,C,f  for this song.

Great Bro!! what you tuned in?

Yeah antonio, there are lots of old pianos around, sometimes free if you have a truck and a friend or two to help lift it. The hard part is getting it dismantled without destroying the wood and other useable parts. The first one I took apart had real ebony and ivory on the keys but it was before I was making instruments so like a dummy I gave those parts away.

Thanks antonio. Acoustically it's my favorite so far.I think it's the spruce top which came from the soundboard of an old piano providing the tone.
