        I was there in the beginning.

        I am here now.

            I’ve had the low tension strings on my OM for 2 years. They are getting a bit crusty over the soundhole. Still sound great.

              Put a capo between the nut and the first fret. Tune down a half step.

              Same thing as a zero fret

                I had to turn it upside down. I took a guess.

                      I played my Santa Cruz in E minor.

                      It just felt right.

                          <p style=”text-align: left;”>It came.</p>
                          I played it.

                          Sent it back.

                          It was a gorgeous looking guitar.

                          Sound was not what I expected.

                          It cost me $200 to return ship with insurance. Very expensive lesson.

                            There wasn’t any I could find.

                            Kevin Kastning made so many recordings with strange instruments it was impossible to discover the Bari.

                            Tad may spring for it.

                              I sent it back after 15 minutes of playing time. The low strings were tonally a huge disappointment. The neck width and string tension were a carpal tunnel nightmare.

                              It looked absolutely gorgeous. Light as a feather and showroom new, it was a major letdown.

                                It arrives tomorrow. I called SCGC. They looked it up. Then I called Dan Roberts who was at SCGC when the guitar was built. The owner, Kevin Kastning, had called Dan a few days ago.

                                The top is regular thickness. Scalloped braces may be a bit beefier than others.

                                Dan remembered it quite well and was pleased I might get it. He had fine the first neck reset and refret on my Dread Cutaway.

                                I texted Eric Skype. He recommended I warm up before playing due to the hefty strings and long scale: 28.5 with strings from .70 to .20. The low G is equal to the G on a standard bass.

                                  I would’ love to play mandolin with you.

                                  After having it for a dozen years. I finally figured it out. Soon as I did the woman singer and songwriter starts using a capo on the 4th fret of her guitar.
