just watched this :

it’s quite impressive, not always my cup of tea, but I was wondering what kind of box Tim plays : it’s a 3 row, but he seems to play it like a C#D… anyone know the layout ? is it BCC#, C#DD# or maybe like some i’ve seen, C#DG (or yet another one ?)?
Doesn’t he usually play DG? In which case it’s likely that its an ADG
On this video, he seems to play on row; but the middle row “looks” in A (or D), and he passe on 3rd row in Eflat…

so could it be ADD# ?
Could be Eb/Bb/F whihc is common in Norteno and other Latin American music where 3 rows boxes are favoured.
in the same video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNHvx-D00PA&feature=player_embedded it says the tuning is C#/D/D# which is quite interesting, gives you a C#/D box plus D/D# box for Eb sessions.
Thanks, when I got the vid, the text didn’t appear. So it’s an “application” of a box of the scottisch type, with bisonoric basses instead of the unisonoric ones people like Jimmy Shand play (but his is BCC#)
Never mind transposing, D/D# is very worthwhile in its own right, inc “magic notes” D and G.
