Phillip Kearney (Kearney Luthier) http://www.kearneyluthier.com/ Launceston, Tasmania, Australia
I don't own one, but I spent an hour playing one of Phillip's beautiful tenors in the Guitar Gallery in Melbourne. The first time I've ever played one of these 4 stringers (in GDAE), and I'm hooked!
He's an interesting builder, with some kind of internal box attachment that I don't fully grasp for the neck/body joint, which leaves the neck 'heel-less' and you can play right up to the body easily.
How are the Breedlove Tennors and what would a used one sell for?
Thanks
Hi Barry;
Never played one, but here's some pricing info:
* $4500 new. Available at a few dealers.
* One lightly used listed on ebay for $3500.
* One currently listed in the US on Craigslist (Nashville) for $1500
(BTW, I have no financial interest in any of these)

Blue Star (Bruce Herron) in Michigan builds the Konablaster solid-body electric baritone ukulele. It has a 22" scale, a bit longer than baritone ukes (19") and is steel-stringed. They're sold thru Elderly Instruments, and advertised as being capable of being re-strung to CGDA. I have one in Chicago tuning.

Thanks Ed,
Has anyone played the Breedlove tenor and if so how do they sound?
Also is the build quality reputable? There is one up in Canada that is asking close to 1900 dollars.
Any comments?
