| Dec 29, 2020 at 23:10 | comment | added | Dave Jacoby | A key part of the "Drop D" tuning is that the low three strings form a "power" chord — root, fifth, octave, in this case DAD — making chording easier. I would assume a "Drop C" tuning would have CGC. CAD does not form a useful chord, but you could easily play low melody notes in C up the neck and just drone on the slacked C. I could see this as a useful tuning, but I would never call CADGBE "Drop C" | |

| Dec 29, 2020 at 15:22 | comment | added | Tim | @user1079505 - how do you work that out? Bottom string drops to C, 2 tones, and the others drop 1 tone. Who camee up with that rule? | |

| Dec 28, 2020 at 23:49 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | I’d call that drop C but obviously other people would disagree. They don’t all have names and the names that exist aren’t universal. To specify a tuning, the best way is to list the notes of the tuning. | |
