    Re: mid 30s Kalamazoo KM-11

    I love these - one of my favorite mandolins. I bought mine from the Classifieds about 4 years ago as a total train wreck that had been repaired. I think I paid $300 with a case from a forum member...

    Re: Help to Identify this Old Tenor Guitar

    I believe that is a 1960s Harmony-made, Regal-labeled tenor, the same as the '60s Harmony Sovereign tenor guitar, the H1201: https://reverb.com/item/49831497-harmony-sovereign-h1201-tenor-guitar

    Re: Cozart Tenor Telecaster

    Thank you! The benefit of the full size body is now all the various pick guards and such are available to you without having to cut your own. Certainly tempting!

    Re: Cozart Tenor Telecaster

    Neilca, can you confirm something that Mike Soares said in his video review? Is this truly a full size Telecaster body with a short neck on it? The photos are all at angles that make it hard to...

    Re: Musty Smell in the case and mandolin.

    In my experience, direct sunlight always works the best over time. But you can help it along! I've had luck with both very smelly cars and very smelly cases using Ozium - both the canister and the...

    Re: Case for small Martin tenor guitar?

    I recently picked up a case made for a reproduction baroque guitar and although it fits my size 2, it's very close to my old size 5 tenor case. (I have an 0-17T now so cases are a lot easier to come...

    Re: Washburn tenor guitar

    Zeke Leonard from Salt City Found-Object Instrument works is building a bell-shaped tenor right now (it may actually be a baritone ukulele, I cannot remember off the top of my head). I've seen photos...

    Re: A Regal tenor guitar with a history

    Cary, I love this! I’m still holding on to my 1914 Gibson A even though I never play it because it was once owned by the only man known to have survived 2 grizzly bear attacks. Those stories are...

  11. Re: Sound Smith Hollow Body Electric Ukulele - tiny TG candidate?

    Ha! That's what I assumed. I did a conversion on one of the Vorsons a few years ago and the string spacing killed me. I swapped it out with a narower strat-style 4-string bridge and then it was a...
  12. Sound Smith Hollow Body Electric Ukulele - tiny TG candidate?

    I couldn't find anything on the forum about anyone using one of these as a mandola or tenor guitar (It's a 17" scale, so probably a little short for a tenor, but still.) These look like great little...
  13. Re: Recommendations for a great Jazz tenor guitar?

  14. Re: Recommendations for a great Jazz tenor guitar?

    You should be able to find a 1950s or 1960s Kay or Harmony tenor archtop for a few hundred dollars on Reverb. The nice thing about archtops is that you can make a smaller bridge if the guitar needs a...

  18. Octave Mandolin Course for tenor guitar players in GDAE?

    Just saw that Joe Walsh has launched an Octave Mandolin class on Peghead Nation, and I wonder if it would be applicable (with some modifications) to tenor guitarists who play GDAE. I haven't had a...

    I've seen this video a zillion times and never noticed that either! It's an all-birch Harmony 1215T. The binding and purfling is painted on. I've had a few of these! Thanks for sharing!

    Re: Tenor tuning - EBF#C#?

    I had been playing in lower tunings this week with the wrong strings (too floppy!) so I decided to try restringing. I didn't have the right strings around for FCGD, but I had the right ones to pull...

    Re: Tenor tuning - EBF#C#?

    I haven't restrung, but I did try both low E tuning and FCGD and it really opened up my Cromwell. Transposing in my head was a lot easier with FCGD, too. I mostly play by myself, so I'm not that...

    Tenor tuning - EBF#C#?

    I was doing some more research on Cromwell tenors from the 1930s, when I came across this listing from Folkway for a 1934 Gibson TG-00, turned down in fifths but with a guitar low E as the bottom...

    NFI - but this seller just dropped a real project 5-17T from 1927 down to $450: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233740909006

  25. Re: Buzzing on Greek Bouzouki since I changed tuning + string gau

    Michael,

    My first thoughts are:

    1. The fourth fret is high. Can you use a small straight edge placed from the 3rd to the 5th frets, and see if it rocks back on forth on the 4th fret? That fret...
