My New Tenor Guitar

[rickwaugh]

I have been playing my new celtic tenor for about a month now, and I'm in love. I love the tone, the size, and the look. It's tuned GDAE, perfect for playing fiddle tunes, mandolin music, or classical violin pieces if I feel like it. It was made my friend Kerry Werry, at http://klwstrings.blogspot.ca.

This is an arrangement of Si Bheag Si Mhor, by Turlogh O'Carolan, that I had fun putting together. Includes some pics of the instrument as well. There is a tab for the arrangement in the comments on Youtube, if you have a desire to take a look at it.

No music, just pics?

Nope, there's music. Just a few pics at the beginning to show off the guitar.

I was in for almost half a minute. Too long. Just say that for your consideration.

Understood. I'll have to figure out if there is someway to place the pictures over top of the video. Not sure there is, with the tool I'm using.

Very beautful guitar and playing. Congratulations.

[rickwaugh]

Thanks kindly. The tone in the video is a pretty good representation of the actual sound, too. It's a very resonant little instrument, and it's beautiful.

Very nice TG. Sounds pretty full for small package. One of the nicer ones I've seen and heard lately. Congrats!

Nice tune - well played btw

[rickwaugh]

Thanks, K-V. It's an old favourite of mine. And I can't believe the resonance on this guitar. I know ukes are popular now, but I like this a whole bunch more.
