The Sansula in Beautiful E Tuning can be utterly magical. This book has exercises, original compositions, chords, and many well known songs. 48 pages, with 33 free MP3 downloads.

While the Sansula in standard tuning plays enchanting and mystical music, there are very few songs you can actually play on it. Also, its mood tends to be dour, even though it is enchanting and mystical. The Beautiful E Tuning was my first attempt to break out of the Sansula mind set, and it did set the Sansula free!
