There are several uke players who play in this tuning. Most IIRC were classical players - i.e. fingerstyle, not strummed. The sound is more like a classical guitar than either a mando or a uke, IMO.

Mick, I may have asked you this before, but do any of the instruments in your files match any of the Payne Music School photo instruments?
IIRC an instrument like the one in the factory photo was one of the original instruments in the ebay emando thread. Ahh, the memories.. There's gotta be a similar shot of Indonesian workers with a...
Thanks for linking to his site - his blog is full of neat pics and videos. I wish I could be a rockabilly star; I need more hair and less fat.:))
Have you played any of the Bigsby repro Clinesmith...
IIRC these also sometimes had sunken tops. I'd pass.
Note to self: Never drive with theCOOP.
Ahhhh! PRS mando sighting!!
OT, but do any of you Harmony heads know if they offered a tenor in the Catalina or Hollywood finish? Being from LA I've always been drawn to those, but didn't want/need a six stringer.
If not,...
Most of those have been posted before, on various violao tenor threads.. (as well as - I believe - this one!) But some have not; thanks!
Portland Japanese Garden (bring your hiking shoes)
Bridge City Tools (bring your wallet)
The Vita instruments I've seen have all had beautiful flame mahogany back and sides. For $500 Canadian (assuming the "cracks" have been "stabilized") not a bad deal.
That thing is not a mandocello, it is (or is attempting to be) a mandole, traditionally used for Algerian Chaabi music. I suppose it could be tuned and used as a mandocello, but I believe the scale...
Nothing to add, except like Bertram I too was immediately tickled by the idea of an OM without any style..
Or even better (for you Martin guitar fans), an OM-style OM. :p
Two words: Electric Table.
Do the soundholes look Epi to anyone else?
I think the octave tuning (in a blues context) was called "Brownsville Tuning".
I really thought this story was going to end with a hook hanging from the handle of your car door.

Not a big fan of KFC since they switched to bifurcation. ~:>
Other than a general lack of talent? :) I teach, so any events during the school year that aren't within driving distance are pretty much impossible for me.
Sorry if my last post came off as a...
Neither; I thought it was stupid to risk such a lowball bid (thinking it would go for much higher on the open market). But I may be proven wrong if it sells below the BIN price. NFI
I wonder if you could do something like Mandopolis in Austin?
Well, it will, just not for the BIN price. Whoever put that first bid in (instead of just buying it) was... not smart.
The original rips it up! Who are the players? (or is it all Merle?)
I can imagine Frank Wakefield sitting in on that track..
Hm. That would be one for the attorneys to tell us. If all the rights holders are no longer around, does it pass into PD after X number of years?
My sense of "real" has taken a beating in this...
