What tuning and strings does Boguslaw Furtok use?

The guy has an amazing sound! I have been wondering for a while what type of tuning and strings he uses.

That's a much better link. I like how the bios are available in English too.

In the pix it looks like he's got Pirastro Permanents on the bass.

He personally told me that he uses solo tuning and Spirocore solo strings but the highest string (a) is a Pirastro Permanent.
