It generates no reaction from me. I just don't understand the 4-string tenor guitar.

 

[Tig]

Yes, please.

I guess this for me too. I do not think I was even aware of them before.

 

[Packerbacker]

I can't play a guitar well enough to branch out into a new tuning. Lol

 

[jelloman]

It's a guitar...I like guitars...

 

[Gary Blanchard]

While I am sure a tenor guitar could add flavor to an ensemble, as a solo performer it is useless to me. Plus, I have a bias toward larger instruments.

 

[Guitar Heel]

totally checks out as a guitar.

 

[Chad]

yes please. do we have a price on it?

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Why a video that tells you "It has a really sweet tone" but doesn't demonstrate that tone?

HQ gear demos on the NAMM floor are almost impossible.

I've been tempted to get one of those. They're really cool. I'm just not sure how well I'd adapt to the uber narrow necks. I've tried out a couple of tenor guitars, and the necks felt so narrow, that it felt like I was playing a broomstick. Still, it might be fun to at least give tenor guitaring a try, with this guitar. For all I know, after a week or two of playing, I might have no issues with the narrow neck.

I grant that, but the video did nothing that words couldn't do. It just seems pointless.

Me too...and I'm sure I wasn't aware of them...isn't a 4 string guitar a bass?

 

[Denverdave]

No use for that at all....

That would be cool to check out. Love me some Tiny Grimes....looking around for my kilt....

Think of it more as a ukulele.

There's plenty of fun music to be played on something like that, but I'd opt for a baritone uke instead.

Tenors are a good 2nd instr for a duo.
Check out the Delmore Bros sometime.
