Tiple with a solid headstock?

[Nort]

Hi All,
I just want to throw this question out, as I'm considering acquiring a tiple

does anyone know of any makers, factory or individual who build / have built
a Tiple with a solid headstock?

having owned a Martin D12-20 in the past, I have a serious dislike of the slotted
headstock when changing strings.

Thanks

Martin, too small a response - so....Martin

Well, so far my own research has revealed all the tiples I can find pics or information on have slotted headstocks, Martin, Regal, in the vintage arena
and more recently Ohana.

Anybody know of any builders doing custom order Tiples?

Aaron Oya on O`ahu has built tiples with solid headstock.

Here's Ramon Camarillo demoing his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwRaal11cGs

The Colombian tiples I've seen have paddle headstocks - my mother-in-law plays one. But much Colombian luthery is dodgy in the extreme, so I don't know where you would get a decent one.

Having been subjected to them for a couple of years, I've formed the opinion that it is an instrument of the devil. Like scraping yer fingers over the budgie cage.
