Ooooo cool. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a pretty comfy 12 string. And portable to boot!

Hey that is a cool sounding little instrument. I can't help but think of how that would fill out a great bluegrass or Americana set. Really neat how it is a guitar/ mando combo. I've always thought that if I picked up a second stringed instrument it would be a mandolin. Maybe this is the best of both worlds AND impervious to temperature and humidity? What could be cooler than that?! It even if nice to listen to when you are fiddling around.

I love 12-strings and am intrigued by CF. This is an interesting combination.

What is the tuning? Is it running octaves or unisons?

Its unisons in the key of D. It is a hoot to play love flat picking individual strings.

Thanks Capt and Mr Tone...fun to do. That 12 string is so much fun to play and sounds better of course in real life. Lil green guy was in a mood.
