A little different tenor guitar
My new musical instrument.
This seems to be the logical consequence when you want an OM and all you've got is a guitar, though the courses are very far apart. How is it tuned?
the world is better off without bad ideas, good ideas are better off without the world
Thank you.
Tuned it (G4-G3) - (C4-C4) - (E4-E3)

Interesting instrument. I've never noticed a tres before. Just what I need, another instrument to learn
Especially interesting is that link above which shows a tres made on a modern Martin Lxm body. I did not know they made such a thing.

Art & Lutherie made a tres cubano, not currently though but I see them used occasionally.
That's fine - I was just explaining why the strings are far apart on many tres cubanos.
BTW, I'm from New Orleans, not Cuba, but I learned to play tres from Cubans in New Orleans, so I do play the traditional way.
Frankly, It's interesting to see the tres used in other genres, as it still is sort of rare outside of son , son montuno and other traditional Cuban musical forms.
Here some more songs.
Songs: Down In The Valley; Du, du liegst mir im Herzen; Over The River And Through The Woods; Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral; Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
Songs: Go Tell Aunt Rhody; The Streets of Laredo; Aura Lee; St. James Infirmary Blues; Drunten im Unterland;
