Nick, I agree entirely that the music produced is more important than the tuning. I have made this point many times here over the years. Indeed my post was in jest, and made in response to a jocular post from fellow member known to me personally - the context makes that quite clear I'm sure - and I';m pleased to read that your post also agrees that you can see that to be so too. It's akin to the banjo-banter that happens here too. There is no suggestion of dogmatism, and I'm unsure why you felt it necessary to raise it, though I'm also glad you did feel able to. My jest was simply a jest, (hence the ) no undercurrents, no side, no attempt to disguise anything under cover of jest. I'm sorry you felt my comment to be inappropriate - there was no untoward intention behind it. Keith Sorry Keith, no offence meant or taken. I have a thing about music being hidebound by rules or being consigned to museum glass cases (e.g. worst excesses of the music police) and I think my fingers and brain got carried away. Best excuse I can think of...I was in hospital the last couple of days and it's not good for the brain, too much time doing nothing so it gets a bit hyperactive when released from the ward. Cheers, Nick
