Not to mention acoustic folk guitars in open D, drop-D, slack-key, DADGAD, you name it. I tried slide guitar once: those thing use many different tunings. Having said that, though, I still prefer to play in the tunings I'm most familiar with. It took me quite a while to find my way around Baroque lute tuning, and I'm currently striving, not without some difficulty, to become conversant with re-entrant tuning on the theorbo.
