    Re: How to appraise a Petersen Bouzouki

    Thank you for the suggestions. The Reverb sale is a great reference for me. There are no labels on my instrument beyond a woodburn of Bill's name. My friend told me this was perhaps one of his...

    How to appraise a Petersen Bouzouki

    Hello all,
    I have received an early 90's Petersen bouzouki from a dear friend. I would like to pay for this instrument and I'd like to be fair about it. I don't see any number or identifier to...
  3. Re: Help with time signature: Lankum - Old man from over the sea

    I'll keep trying, but I can't count through in 6/8. Maybe I'm getting hung up on syncopation, but the final phrase throws me every time. Thanks for all the input.

    Hey folks,
    I'm trying to work this song out with my Cittern for accompaniment and it seems to exceed the abilities of my inner metronome. Can anyone help me with the timing on this song? I just...

    Re: Peterson Cittern/OM - Capo basic questions

    Ah yes, that makes sense. One thing I learned immediately is that my 23" scale length Cittern strung partly in octaves is not capo friendly. It takes a moment to adjust ten strings between a set...

    Re: Peterson Cittern/OM - Capo basic questions

    This is all very helpful. I think the root of my dilemma is understanding why Andy would change the key. I mistakenly thought that it made for more fluid picking in the DADG tuning, assuming that he...

    Hello,

    I am very weak on music theory. I've been playing sessions for years with a mandolin, picking melodies. I've had this Petersen OM/Cittern (10 strings). I tune it DADGD. I'm trying to...

    Re: Petersen Cittern Tailpiece Replacement

    Alan, Mandroid,

    Thank you for your responses. Yes, Sobell's tailpiece looks like a good and basic design to my eye. I think I will make a variation on that theme.

    Gary,

    Thanks, I do like the look of that Tailpiece. I guess there may not be much to this project. I just wanted to be sure there was no science behind the design.

    I have not contacted the builder. The instrument must be 15 years old or better. It just looks like a design oversight so I thought I would upgrade. I want to be sure that if I sink...
