Isn't Kieran a delight to work with? Congrats on your new OM.
I agree with the comments on Phil Crump's instruments - wonderful to play and really nice sound. I also want to throw Paddy Burgin's name into this discussion - he built an OM for me that is...
Nigel - that is one good looking guitar! I hope you will post more about it.
I ended up getting a 1930 era Regal tenor guitar, spruce top over mahogany (probably Cuban) back/sides. Once I got...
I totally agree - Marc Glickman is the best! Great guy.
Glad to hear it all worked out!
You might want to visit the website of Kieran Moloney in Galway at http://www.moloneymusic.com/ to see if he has anything in your price range. I have no idea how much he keeps in stock...but if he...
I am talking about the right hand technique for playing three notes. Within that three notes there may be a hammer-on or a pull-off involved, but not necessarily.
I've been practicing it more...
I learned how to do triplets on a mandolin but I don't seem to be able to do them as well on my tenor guitar. Is there a different technique for playing triplets on single strings compared to double...
Ok, here is the update with new strings. I put on a set of 47w - 32w - 22w - 14p because I had those in the house. The little Regal came alive with sound. OMG, I like it. I still need to perfect...
Roger - what gauges would you suggest for this guitar? I just discovered that my local music store sells loop end strings as singles and has all the different gauges. Your recommendations are...
i re-checked my strings and what I do have at home is a little different from what I said before...I have 13.5 - 21 - 32 - 47. The 13.5 is steel, the others are Phosphor Bronze wound. I believe...
The string set on it now (from Bernuzio's) is the J631 tenor banjo set - nickel wound 12-16-24-36. So, that explains why they feel so light compared to what I am used to on my octave mandolin. I...
Yes, that is the one.
I got this from Bernuzio's and it is in nice shape. But the strings they put on it are not wound strings, so they are very loose for my tastes. Intonation is horrible, so I need to set this up with...
Edit...it is a 1930 Regal, not 1939. Darn typos!
Howdy all - I just took delivery of a 1939s Regal tenor guitar with the 21' scale. I want to use it in GDAE (Irish) tuning. After looking over many previous posts, it appears that a 14-22+34-52 set...
Wonderful...thanks for posting it Roger.
Roger - is that a redwood top over walnut back/sides?
I have a Newell Roger Landes model (longer scale length), a Gibson A (1916), and a Davy Stuart mandolin. I've had the chance to play a couple Webers but never any Collings. I love my Newell and...
I have one, too...love it.
Greetings all - it has been a while since the Kala tenor guitar came out and I am wondering how people like them now after having them for several months?
And, has anyone tuned it down to GDAE...
Let me suggest Keith Newell as a fantastic builder for Irish style mandolins. His Roger Landes model is wonderful. You can search for multiple threads on this model. I highly recommend it.

I just ordered my copy...back ordered from Amazon. Looking forward to Roger's wisdom...
Billings, Montana...and have friends in Cody, Wyoming.
