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 Steve.

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.
