Lovely design elements in this one. You must be very proud of it. I love the walnut figuring, asymmetric outline and the rosette design. Looking forward to hearing it at some point.

This is a very beautiful piece of woodwork. Imaginative and well balanced! Great job.

I've got one of Joe's tenors and it's quite lovely sounding. Very nicely done, too.

Sounds like it is tuned to octave tuning... yes?
kypes

Almost a 24" scale length so it was built with the GDAE in mind. But I was playing in GDGD.

What a great sound you are getting there, and the tuning is an interesting one. Is your playing an example of that famous style known as Chicken Pickin'? :whistling:

I'd be really interested to hear this instrument tuned DGBE.
