Misty Mountains - Tutorial for 7-String Lyre

Tuning Breakdown
left to right:
1st string is the sixth degree of a major scale below the tonic
2nd string is the tonic note
3rd-7th strings go up the major scale following the tonic ending on the sixth degree of the scale an octave higher than the 1st string
*This is the tuning pattern used in most all of the Wild Sparrow tutorials
In this video I'm tuned to B major: G#, B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#
Some example of similar tunings in other keys:
A, C, D, E, F, G, A
B, D, E, F#, G, A, B
E, G, A, B, C, D, E
Consider the instrument maker's suggested tuning before adjusting.
