I received my CBG yesterday and played it forseveral hours. I thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of the instrument and expect I will log many, many hours playing it. I tried it in open A, open G and G5. Open A seems to be optimal with the strings it came with.

sound I've been looking for!". He even called me today from his day
job where he works with kids in a juvinile detentention center and he
brought his CBG and everyone was amazed, one of the correctional officers
happened to have a harmonica with him and they started playing and
pretty soon had a crowd. Tomorrow he's performing at a big festival and has
already come up with a couple of songs he's going to play. I'm going
to take a picture of him playing there and email it to you. I want to thank
you again for making it so fast, shipping it so soon, and making it soundso good.
