Hi! Here is beautiful gypsy jazz style waltz that is orginally a Finnish song called Karjalan kaunis Kerttu (Engl. Beautiful Kerttu from Karelia). It's made by Matti Jurva and Tatu Pekkarinen somewhere around end of 30's and beginning of 40's. I fell in love with the song that has so beautiful melody, harmony and story. It's about love and longing for Kerttu who stayed in Viipuri. The singer hopes to see her again, marry her and have a wedding in Pyöreä Torppa. The song is made in a time when Finland was in war with Russia and lost Viipuri and most of Karelia Region. Video Cheers, Mikko

Aye, but you're not a lefty, you're a turncoat. I'm a militant sinister!

It's a ways off yet and I need to clear out some stuff first, but I'm looking at the Tube 5. Torn between the Champalike combo version, and the head... I *do* have a spare Vox 2x12 I was toying with the idea of using with the head, then I thought I'll probably sell that became the cream 1x10" that they brought out looks so much nicer with it (I doubt at home volume levels the extra size and doubling of the speaker would be a huge benefit). Also toyed with the notion of trying to find out whether I could also, as an option, run the head though some sort of speaker emulation box instead of the speaker and use headphones occasionally. (I think the 15 has a headphone socket, but it's getting into a lot more capability I'll never use, and the simplicity of the 5 really appeals more.) Course, the attraction of the separate head and speaker also means I could 'trade up/ speakers at a later stage, OR if I ever did decide I had a use for the 15, use it with the 1x10 as well.... Trying to avoid buying a whole pile of amp stuff, of course, and not overdoing it as the whole object it to clear out a stack of unused stuff (Vox AD120VT & the VC12 footboard, matching 2x12, and an early 70s Silverface Bassman 100, as well as a few guitars. I'm halfway hoping I can shift all the stuff that has to go for enough to buy myself a Player II Strat, or maybe a 5xxx series Gretsch used as well). Thanks, that would work for me. I've got a whole bunch of EU adaptors lying around as I do a few runs in and out of Paris for work every year, but I seem still to keep having to rebuy the damn things every September, no idea what I keep doing with them...

I'm afraid not, this is one that's definitely staying, It's the only semi acoustic i own and my son has now taken up guitar and has his eye on it as well. I have a bad habit of not selling guitars, I think over the nearly 30 years i've been playing i've only sold maybe 3 or 4 guitars, and many have been to friends on the understanding that if they ever want to sell i have first refusal. I have a bit of a hoarding problem when it comes to guitars. Matt

Tanglewood guitars are designed in the UK, and manufactured in China. Yours looks to be maple, but obviously can't be sure without more pictures. Hope this helps.
