Last night for fun, I tuned my OM-03 down one whole step.  The overtones were crazy, it sounded like a  piano, also my med.'s (nano's) are getting old so that helped a little.  But I think it is better suited to standard so after a little fun, I tuned her back up.  I thought about keeping it there, but I would need it set up for that.  (little buzzy).  

You should really try it in DADGAD or CGADAD, if you want to hear it sing.

Yep, my OM-05 is kept in DADGAD exclusively now.  I really like the sounds out of it there...and then my LV-BW can handle the other tunes!

that's similar to the agreement reached between my OM and parlor, the OM handles anything in dropped tunings, and the parlor likes to play the rest. It's a nice feeling letting your guitars reach their own accords with each other and not step on each other's toes.

Hey, great idea!  A different guitar for every tuning!  Let's see, I use:

Standard, DADGBE, DADGAD, DADGAE, DGDGAD, DGDDAE, CGCDCE, etc, etc....... :o

"Honeeeeyyyy!  I need AT LEAST 4 new guitars!" :P  

Tuning down 1/2 step is fairly common for those of us whose vocal range may not exactly match up with standard tuning. It is also not as "buzzy" as dropping down a whole step. And all you have to do to play with those in standard is put a capo on the first fret!

But of course.  I'll let you know how it works out, but I'm not very optimistic  :( .
