What was unusual about the tuning Clarence often used?
Dropped D Tuning
Open G Tuning
B-Bender Tuning
Standard Tuning
Answer
The B-Bender tuning employed by Clarence is distinguished by the addition of a modified'B' string, which, when activated by a lever, lowers its pitch by a whole tone. This unique setup enables the creation of distinctive "bending" effects typically associated with the steel guitar, adding a captivating and expressive depth to the sound produced.
