    Re: Tenor guitar identification query

    Thanks for your useful thoughts. I’d wondered about Regal, but you’re right - the presence of a zero fret suggests European manufacture.

    Tenor guitar identification query

    A guy is selling his tenor guitar - 210030says it’s a Kalamazoo. I’m pretty sure it isn’t- certainly not with this headstock shape. (Obviously the nut is wrong).
    Any idea what it might be, you...

    Ah sorry, I’d forgotten I’d posted about this before. It’s not mine - it’s in a nearby music store. The photos I posted previously were ones the owner sent me - I finally got to see it yesterday....

    Re: Bowlbacks of Note

    Here’s an odd one. It’s a de Meglio style body but dig the weird key operated tuners, the rollers in the bridge and nut, and that the strings are four single strings with loops at both ends doubled...

    Re: Good Blues Mandolin?

    I usually use my 1920 F2 for blues. I prefer that fatter ringing sound of a round hole. Whether slide is preferable too is arguable lol!

    Re: Blues Mandolin Teacher?

    I'll be teaching blues mandolin at the Cape Cod mandolin camp in September if that's of interest?
    It'll be acoustic country blues but there's a huge crossover with blues licks on electrics.
    Cheers...

    On the whole you might save a bit over UK prices but it's fraught with potential pitfalls... The best solution is to buy from Trevor and let him take the risk! ;)

    I'll second Andy Manson - he's been making fabulous instruments for the great and good for many years. He uses stunning woods and every instrument tends to be a one off design and a work of art...
