This tuning raises the 12-string Matched
Reciprocal tuning on our long-scale instrument up
by a 5th interval on both sets of strings. The
melody strings cover the lead guitar and violin
range, and the accompaniment group covers the
rhythm guitar and mid to high bass range. The
overall range is from G, a major 6th below guitar low
E, to high E, the highest note on a 24-fret
guitar.
The lettered melody notes match in stacked
relationship with the bass on any given fret, the
melody group descending in 4ths and the bass
ascending in 5ths.
