Tenor Guitar Gallery & Sightings

[Dolamon]

Isaac Eicher is listed on The Cafe, Jazz section but this is a bit different for him He's playing a four string hollow body cut away Mandola on a bunch of cuts with his trio.

There are also a series of videos with him as a member of Mischievious Swing where he is on acoustic Mandolin - remarkable playing on any of his cuts. I suppose it might be a rhetorical, philosophical question but ... is this a short scale tenor or a four string mandola? Enquiring minds and all that ...

[Mark Wilson]

Opening credit says electric mandola. Very cool imo. Thx! I would love to play one.

I have a couple of tenors. This Dobro is from 1935; purchased it from Gruhn's. http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/al...p?albumid=1872

Scatman Crothers was a great tenor player and singer-actor- voice over artist. I found a film about him on youtube by No Small Parts (No. 3), I can not post a link here because of mature content but it is worth looking up. He had led quite a life. Lots of music and nice shots of his Martin 0-17 style 5 tenor. I think he might have used Baritone Uke tuning by the chord shapes he used.

[Seonachan]

Yes it's tuned F-Bb-D-G in that video iirc.

I attended SERFA’s annual meeting this past weekend and had the pleasure of seeing Lowell Levinger perform at several showcases with the pictured 5 string tenor guitar. A quick search revealed that it was custom made for him by Corrado Giacomel of Genova, Italy. Lovely performance and instrument.

The Mastersons singing "Birds Fly South". The Eastwood Warren Ellis Tenor really sings on this tune.

Great shot of Eddie Condon with his Gibson PLECTRUM archtop. Note the longer scale and more frets. Like Eddie, I'm a plectrum banjoist who didn't want to learn a new tuning...I play a Vega C-66 plectrum archtop.

There is a Kalamazoo KTG-11 for sale on the Reverb website that just dropped in asking price. I've got no interest or relationship to this guitar, but my buddy has one of these that is so freakin' sweet I thought I'd post a "heads up". If I wasn't embarrassingly stocked with tenors I'd be on this one in a heartbeat.

I just found this band by accident.....




The cello is fantastic. The tenor player appears to have the same model that Eddie Condon played.
