Click on the player names below to view their preferred tunings along with Midi Numbers in parentheses to clarify tunings where the string pitches are out of order (for example, chromatic strings at the top or bottom of the tuning).This listing was started years ago and is quite incomplete in its present form. Please email me your additions and corrections. Mahalo!
