  1. Re: A quick and inexpensive way to try the tenor guitar

    I had one for a bit. It's not a toy, but not a high (or middle) -end instrument either. It is meant for steel strings and comes tuned DGBE. The body is baritone uke sized, and the scale as previously...
  2. Re: Are there tenors (CGDA) built for gut/nylon strings (not ukes

    Pono makes a Baritone Nui ("big baritone") for nylon strings, normally DGBE but if you can get CGDA to work on it, it might be your best bet, as it's about the size of a Martin 0 tenor (23" scale, 13...

    Steve Pyott has passed

    I saw on Facebook that Steve Pyott recently passed away. He was a founding member of the Tenor Guitar Registry, the first online tenor guitar community, and he posted here as well. He was also...
  4. Another Eastwood, another hollow electric tenor

    All of a sudden there are two full hollow-bodied electric tenors in production. In addition to newcomer Craven guitars (which has its own thread here), Eastwood now offers one with a Florentine...

    Re: A string breaking...often

    Well you've already gone with 9 gauge strings, which is usually the first thing to try (10 is/was standard, but makes for even more tension at the same pitch). Typically the next thing to look at is...

    Re: Blueridge BR40T or Ibanez AVT1?

    I think Lost in Croatia is wanting to go the other way, from CGDA to the more familiar GDAE. For that you need to go down in pitch to octave mandolin tuning and use heavier gauge strings. I'm usually...

    Re: Source for single monel guitar strings?

    I went down this path a couple years ago, after discovering Martin retros for my 6-string, and also wound up getting a few Curt Mangan packs to piece together a set for my 0-17T. I didn't like the...

    Re: HB Tenor Guitar

    Some of the older Martin 5's had 12-fret neck joins. I have a 5-17T like that - I think the change was during the 1929 production year (for that specific model at least). I was able to compare mine...

    Re: Ibanez Tenors appear discontinued

    I ordered one from Elderly and it was set up well enough - I did make some minor adjustments but it was certainly playable. I'd recommend ordering one from them or another trusted source that will...

    Re: And now for something completely different

    Same builder's sold listings show some tenors that are even more "out there". Not very pricey, kind of tempting to get one just to experience it in person.

    Re: Recording King ROST-7-TS - part 1

    I got one yesterday from Elderly - for the price I'm very impressed. I got it as a cheap tenor that I could leave at my folks' house without having to worry much about humidification and other...

    Re: Tenor tuning - EBF#C#?

    I play in FCGD, and I know a few others on here do. This tuning is only 1/2 step lower, so there's no reason why it wouldn't work with the right combination of guitar & strings.

    Re: Mini Tele Conversion to Five-String

    No problems, other than tuning issues caused by the tremolo, which are not relevant to a Tele.

    New used cheapo 5 string partscaster

    Different tastes, different ears, and variable conditions of vintage Martins notwithstanding, I don't think it's really a comparison. I've A/B'd both in a store and owned both at the same time. The...
