Hey Joe! Thanks for giving your thoughts on this! So, it does appear I will tune it to D, and not Eb as I hoped. Oh well, as you say, it will last longer, and was a gift from my son-in-law, and he might want it back for the heck of it sometime,,,,,so I better do what is best. D it is then..Thanks!

You take good care too Joe! Always have been great to me and Buddy. I'll pass along your Hi to him.
