Is tuning back and forth from Drop C and standard bad for a classical guitar?
I’ve been learning Your Guardian Angle on a classical guitar and it only sound right when I play it in drop c. But im afraid to leave it in drop c so i tune it back to standard after im done. Is that bad for the guitar?
Not for the guitar, but don’t be flabbergasted once your string(s) pop off out of nowhere when constantly tuning it to standard from drop C.

It can be if you do it a lot as the neck is under constant changes in the tension and this can lead to warping. If you do it a lot why not just ebay a cheap 2nd instrument

It’s not that bad, the strings obviously won’t last as long but it is okay to leave it in drop C. Changing it back and fourth is worse than leaving it in drop C, but if you’ve ever replaced the strings you’ll know it takes a while for them to stretch into the proper way or something
