Tuning word is \u00ab1< 6_mel_4ths_RH \/\/ 6_bass_4ths_LH > 12 \u00bb\u00a0 seen from the player
\nIn this system, the lowest string acts as an axis of symmetry. This tuning is easy to adapt for people who play the Chapman tuning and wish to try the bass in fourths, just by re-tuning a few strings.
\nDuring the summer of 1985, I was still playing the Chapman tuning. I decided that, as a music reader, I could not go anymore with the fifth-fourth tuning, which I found too complicated, especially as I\u00a0 wanted to read music and play \u00ab bass lines \u00bb in the sense of\u00a0 Bach. And so, on a suggestion from Jim Lampi, I tuned my bass in fourths, This tuning became known as the \u00ab mirrored fourths \u00bb tuning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
