Five string acoustic? Nice.

That's a sweet collection you got there :)

Hm. For me the common tunings are CGDA, DGBE, GDAE.
I list in that order because that's probably the hierarchy based on history.

I don't recognise your suggestions as 'common'.

The majority...

Cripes you could get one made for less than that...!!
Gorgeous though. I definitely would.

Hiya
We know Goldtone & Ozark made/make (respectively) resonator tenors. What are they like? Be honest!
Anyone able to compare them to a National?

Audio demos?

Oh I dunno. For me my 23" mcilroy is always GDAE. If I want CGDA I capo. Hey presto... Short scale CGDA tenor :)
That's why I like being in GDAE apart from finding I can use alt tunings without...

the risa looks good!

Nice!!

Pete’s woes aside; i find the images on the facebook page insulting and distasteful. It is not the 1970s anymore chaps. Better advertising is brought by taking decent photos that just sell the...

As you know I opted for a warren ellis 2p which I'm happily very surprised at loving rather.
I hope to try a tele tenor when they come out to compare with

Well I'm gonna get me classic fixed. After that... May not keep. It looks great. Sounds cool but I just got the WE 2P today and I adore it. I get the point re strumming but what I realise is how...

With respect to the classic and tone - it's really nice. I would definitely say "you've a friend who's had earthing issues on his " to ensure they check it - if you go for it.
You are comparing a...

On the other hand
I've a slightly defective eastwood classic tenor. It buzzes madly due to earthing issues
Can send it in but have gigs to fulfil. I was waiting on the fender but the delays...

Andertons in the UK predict October... That's for the blue and red. The butterscotch in December - the red and butterscotch were actually checked with fender. UK stock.

Yes, when double strung it's a mandocello. Am aware of the eastman cello and the eastwood bari tenor. I want an acoustic version of the eastwood instrument - I play fingerstyle on tenor so although I...

I used to have a 20" tenor. In GDAE it wasn't the best. Time will tell! If not there's nothing wrong with CGDA really.

My dream is a CGDA acoustic but in the cello range. Never heard one but I...

I had a 10 string cittern tuned CGDAD. A lot of fun though required more strength than I possessed hence the past tense.
I would often play a high Em leaving the C open. What an epic Cmaj7 (ish)!!!...

Sorry I'm nr Bristol!

I personally would approach an existing electric luthier and ask them. I'd recommend Tom Waghorn - granted he makes metaaaaaalll guitars but he is a lovely chap and may well consider making a less...

I did ask him about him doing an electric octave mandolin (he made a beautiful rickenbacker influenced one once - he used to advertise normal electric mandolins in the same vein)

I don't know if...

Having read a thread elsewhere here...
What about the current weber brekke design?

Mr Brekke himself was on that thread if I could...

I have the THR10C which I run my tenor guitar through - such a good piece of kit. We use it on stage and run from the headphone out.
Job done. Brilliant thing. You have to disable the wide stereo...

I've often used a violin hanger clamped to the mic stand but it's a scary proposition in a rowdy bar... I can tell you!

The red one is gawjus :)

I do prefer a rosewood fingerboard, but you can’t have everything!
