If you wish to be notified when the other pages are available please submit your email address: your email: I researched and wrote this 'book' whilst at university in 1997. Since then the odd friend and mutual Nick Drake fan has asked for a copy of this book. The last two who asked still don't have a copy as my printer finally packed in. It was then (2001) that I decided to publish it on the web, for them and anyone else who is interested. I can't make any guarantees to it's acuuracy. As far as I know the official tunings died with Nick Drake in 1974. The only person who is known to have written any down was Robert Kirby, who orchestrated many of Nick's tracks. Whether he still has them is unknown. I worked out the tunings within this book by ear. Some of them corroberate with the notation of others', some don't. A big thank you to Ken who sold me the domain name last year. He had similar intentions with the domain but decided he hadn't time for the project. I thought I had, though as it happens it's taken me a year to find the time, so thanks for the patience!
