upside downer Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Anyone got one? Anyone play one out live? Being both a) a cheapskate and b) willing to have a go at building something, I'm currently in the process of converting a cheap semi-acoustic 6 string that I got from ebay into one. It was going to be a mandocello but the neck can't cope with the extra string tension. I know the scale length is meant to be slightly shorter than a regular guitar but as long as I can set it up to stay in tune it should be playable enough to have a mess around with.
dewayne Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I haven't played one but an acoustic tenor would have been very handy after my neck surgeries. Playing one while on my back, slightly inclined would have been more convenient than a full size guitar. After recovery I bought 2 ukuleles and tuned them open A (ish) and played them after hip replacement. About to have hip replacement on other and have a tenor banjolele usually tuned to open B flat (or A sharp) don't know which to say, ready to go. I would love to get a tenor gtr one day. 1
