Lovely guitar and tune. Congratulations.
I have two Herb Taylor archtop tenors, #174 and #205. 21.5” scale, tuned GDAE. I love them, they are powerful, and cut through other instruments quite well. Great sound, wonderful necks, and you can...
Mine are Herb Taylor archtop tenors. I love his archtops, they have a unique, beautiful, powerful tone, and play great. His neck attachment is smart. I took the neck off just to see how to do it,...
I lived about a block away from where that was. I often stopped there and tried to imagine what it looked like. That area is completely different now, but was a nice place to live. The trailhead to...
Amazing sounding guitar.
Gerry O’Connor isn’t bad.

That looks really nice.
I had one. It was a nice guitar. I agree it’s a bit overbuilt. It sounds good and the neck is nice. It is not on the level of a high end tenor, obviously. It handles GDAE well. I also had a Kala,...
She is such a great talent.
That’s beautiful.
I love how this one sounds. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AGUebpRaVBM
I think that’s a ridiculous argument. It’s all about what tone and feel you prefer.
Thanks Nigel. That is probably the only video I didn’t watch. The Parlor King sounds wonderful too. Amazing tenor guitars. I play GDAE, and a 22 inch scale is perfect as I’m playing the fiddle part...
Nigel, that’s good to know. There is an almost zero chance I’d want to return it. I was listening to videos of the Session King again today, and I just love how it sounds. It made we think it might...
The Sawchyn Beavertail and Hobo would be a fair test, particularly if we could compare several of each model. The only differences between the two, that I’ve read, are a sitka top for the Beavertail...
Tyler, your video was followed by David Grisman playing the same tune. I personally liked the tone of your Hobo better than the F style that he was playing. It’s a fuller, richer tone, a more...
Another one that the builder sells in the classified section here is the Morris flattop. The price is right, and the reviews I’ve seen are excellent. I haven’t played one but would love to. There are...
If you’re looking, I’d expand your search. There are a lot of nice flattops being made. The Northfield Calhoun sounds wonderful on the video of Sharon Gilchrist playing it. She could make almost any...
He hasn’t updated the website in several years. I emailed him twice, several months apart, and didn’t get a response. People seem very happy with his instruments and all the pancakes are gorgeous...
I was so tempted when I saw it last night, but it’s not the best time for me to buy an instrument. I’m sure it will be easy to sell if the buyer changes his mind. Anyone know why Andy hasn’t been...
Harley, yeah, I’m sure it sounds a little different than the Session King. I’d want to hear a good video of it, at a minimum. I’m not sure I want to order an instrument from overseas..... what if I...
Someone buy this, it’s gorgeous. I’m perfectly happy with my Beavertail, but a Poe pancake is one of the flattop mandolins I most want to try. The Poe pancake videos, for example #60, sound...
I love how his Session King tenor sounds in the videos, but for me, one of the attractions of a tenor guitar is it’s compact size. the Parlor King with a 22 inch scale would fit perfectly with my...
I know it’s not quite on the same level, but I love my Beavertail. It has a warm, rich tone, is easy to play, and I love how it looks, with great build quality and it’s simple, pancake lines. It’s...
