Just got this lovely Frank Tate tenor guitar from Cafe member gortnamona/Lawrence the other day - it's an absolute beauty! This is one of my favourite jigs (written by Seán Ryan), and always the first tune I play on a new instrument:

"I'm convinced that playing well is not so much a technique as it is a decision. It's a commitment to do the work, strive for concentration, get strategic about advancing by steps, and push patiently forward toward the goal." Dan Crary
That sounds so wonderful!
The playing is pretty good too. Nice song to choose for the first on this new to you tenor!

Cheers folks! I've been a fan of Frank's instruments for a long time so I'm over the moon to finally own one meself! The workmanship is flawless, hands down one of the most beautifully made and sounding instruments I've owned!

Ohhh well done!!
I think his instruments sound great. You've probably seen this two mandolin set featuring the 'blue' mandolin he made.

Lovely instrument and performance. I've heard a few of Frank Tate's mandolins and a guitar in the exceptionally talented hands of Ye Vagabonds, live in small venues here in Scotland. Beautiful things. I think Brian McGloinn was making his own instrument guided by Frank Tate last year - don't know how that has been going.
The tenor here slightly reminds me of a 50's Gibson tenor that my brother in law Tim Jones owns.
best wishes

Nicely done Jill. I've a huge soft spot for tunes that go right down to the bottom range of the instrument & that guitar is well able for it.

A nice idea - the old irish coinage was a delight of design, leaping salmon and suchlike...

Great playing and sound, Jill. Lovely instrument you have there.

Inspirational Jill. I hope you do another video session with the Tate tenor. Does it really have a hole in the upper bout?
This tune may be added to my list! A nice one indeed.

Lovely guitar and tune. Congratulations.
Great tenor and a great tune Jill! I'll have to steal it and rename it "chicken in the kitchen".
