The Instruments |
For those who are interested in this sort of thing- Here are the tools I use to create the music. |
2007-Taylor GC5- Mahogany back and sides, Cedar top. This guitar is as clear as they
get. Taylor ES system and ELIXIR Nanoweb light strings. |
Taylor Leo Kottke Signature Model 12 String.Tuned down 1 1/2 steps from standard
to C#. It growls and rings without the "jangly" sound of most 12's It's outfitted
with a Highlander under saddle pickup and D'Angelico 80/20 Medium strings. |
Oscar Schmidt Centurion Autoharp- I don't know the age of the instrument. I bought
it used from Maple Leaf Music in Brattleboro VT. to get the body. It was transformed
from a 15 chord Chromatic harp to a 12 bar single key Diatonic. Chord Bars
were made by Tom Fladmark. |
