I tune my Tenortone tenor guitar (made by Fletcher Instruments in Ithaca, NY) to G-D-A-E, since it has a shorter scale length: ~21" and I mostly play mandolin and not so much mandola. I can still...
Yes! And it is a great case; solid and well made. The instrument is held snuggly, and I don't fret (no pun intended) about the instrument flopping around inside the case. I was so pleased with the...
Hey Everybody,
Martin makes a case that fits perfectly! Check out your local music store that has access to Martin cases.
I'll have to search the exact case it is and get back with you in the next...
Lee - Hope to see you at RockyGrass! I'll be at the Olson camping area. Not sure how we'd meet. Maybe cell phones would be a way to find each other. Give me an email and I could give you the number....
Congratulations, you new Tenortone owners! I LOVE my all mahogany one! It's hard to get me to practice the mandolin with the Tenortone in reach!
I'll be bringing my Tenortone to the RockyGrass...
You might consider a sliding back that would cover the tuning knobs - this would allow the sound to reverberate in the box. That idea of putting in a sound hole is a good idea - maybe you could put...
I'll be at RockyGrass in Lyons, CO though July 23-25 with my Tenortone tenor guitar. Anyone else going?
RockyGrass is just over 3 months away! I will be bringing the Tenortone tenor guitar if anyone is interested in getting a close-up personal look at one! It really is a fine instrument.
If any...
If anyone is in the area and going to Rockygrass festival in Lyons, CO July 23-25, I'll be bringing my Tenortone Tenor Guitar, and mandolin, of course. I'm wondering if anyone else with a Tenortone...
Jill - You have one of the Tenortone tenor guitars now, yes? I'm going to be at the Rockygrass Festival in Lyons, CO July 23-25. Are you going? It would be great to meet other Tenortone owners and do...
Lee,
Antarctica??! I'm guessing that you are a biologist/researcher. Yes?
My educational background is in biology and education, and so your work in Antarctica would be very interesting to me....

Thanks, Jill an David!
You know what would be fun some time? If we could get as many Tenortone guitar owners together and have a musical weekend! Maybe it could be in association with a bluegrass...
Jill & Everyone who has contributed to this forum.
Well, I just got my new Tenortone tenor guitar from Fletcher Instruments! And it is truly a lovely instrument. The owner, Jody, did some extra care...
Thanks Jill, for the thoughtful comparison between the spruce and mahogany topped Tenortone tenor guitars! I bet that was a nice treat to be able to spend quality time with the instruments. I too...
Jill,
You might want to contact Fletcher Instruments soon...The company owner may be in your neck of the woods soon! - with instruments!

I've been in contact with Jody Platt, the owner of Fletcher Instruments and have worked out a lay-a-way plan to get a Tenortone tenor guitar. I should have it in hand by the end of June. Can't wait!...
I've been working with the owner of Fletcher Instruments, and have worked up an agreement with her to make payments for the TenorTone tenor guitar. I should have it in hand by the end of June! I'll...
Dear Sinclair and Blair,
Comforting thoughts are winged your way. Butch inspired so many musicians, mandolin players and those who played other instruments. The "Evergreen" Christmas CD and book are...
I'm hoping that there are folks out there "in-the-know" about where to get a short-scale tenor guitar. Specifically I'm looking for one that has a 19-21" scale length that has a typical guitar body...
Hi there, Muscians. I am looking for a short scale tenor guitar, say 19-20" scale length. Do you know of any out there or of a luthier who might create one? The reason I want the short scale is that...
I went to the Stewart MacDonald's web site to find the reproduction Handel tuner knobs and they were not there. Do you know of a source for them?
