Drop Tuner on a Ken Smith?

[Ken Smith]

Drop to where? 'B' is not low enough? Audible fundamental is the question you should ask yourself? Can you even hear a real note down there or will the band have to stop and wait for the note a bar or two?

I have seen one 4 string with this added. They RUINED the Coat of Arms carving by cutting in to it for the added drop gadget.

Thanks for the reply, Ken!

It would be nice to have down to the low A, but - "...RUINED the Coat of Arms"?

Well, that is a good reason not to do it then!

Detune the bass then and try the T145 gauge as well for that.

+1 on that suggestion.
