Looking really great Martin.

Here she is, all finished! Sounds amazing. Will hopefully get some sounds recorded soon.

That looks great! And I'm curious, how did you get the background on the pictures so white? Professional shots?

Hi Tim,

Thanks! I photograph them inside my lounge room where I have a white wall and a long white low bench. I then use Photoshop to get rid of the bits I don't want. I just use the natural light that comes in through the blinds and overhead downlights. Some of them I shoot out on our covered verandah too. I'm an old graphic designer by trade so I guess it was a useful career after all!

great looking instrument, how is it tuned? I never played one.

Hi John,

There are two tunings commonly used for Tenors. The standard tuning is CGDA and the "Irish" tuning is GDAE. I have it tuned standard at the moment. I'm only just learning the Tenor but it does sound lovely.

You have a cool name.
I think I'll change mine to "Gibson Breedlove" :>)
