There've been some silly things said on the blogs recently - and not all of them said by me.
Look! Here's an example OK?
"The thing is, just for a bit of fun, I've put it into a different tuning. It is now tuned like a big, deep cello. It is tuned in fifths. The deepest note is a very low C. This makes it entirely different to play from the normally tuned bass in fourths."

You see what readers have to put up with?
What does that mean?
You'll no doubt have noticed that he mixed in some Italian spelling there as well.
I decided to ask Richard in order to clarify the situation.

| TC: Richard, you say in that post that it's a bit of fun to tune your big fiddle to different things. I don't get the joke. |
RBB: Ha, I'm not surprised. I guess that you don't come from Wainuiomata where the girls are smarter and we have our own sense of humour.
 |
| TC: Mmm, that's correct. I don't come from there. I played in a rugby game there once and the Wainuiomartian players chased the ref off the field. I didn't think that was funny. |
 |
| TC: Moera! Noooooooo ... |
RBB: Ha ha just kidding ... sorry about that - just another Wainuiomartian joke. You'd be better off in Ngaio or Wadestown.
 |
| TC: Yes, that sounds better. I'd like that. |

It made me chuckle. Did you find an old photo album in the attic?

Impressive.
You should see the size of the C string! If you want to talk about deep things, this is the string.
