    Another quality contribution Ondrej. This one for some reason has some overtones of Gershwin.
  2. How do you setup a tenor guitar CGDA vs a standard six strings?

    Hi, the setup on my cheap&nasty Harley Benton is atrocious, which is lesson learnt next time I buy cheap gear.

  11. Re: Tenor guitar mentioned on an Italian Journal of 1846!!!

    Thanks David. Still, the mention of a tenor guitar in 1846, and in Italy, is remarkable. I know there was a "chitarrillo" or "chitarrino" in 4 strings circulating in Italy in the 15th-16th century.
