Blueridge has re-introduced the classic 0-sized tenor guitar in the BR-40T and has perfectly reproduced this popular model down to the last detail. An entire new generation of musicians will thrill to the bright, ringing sound of the tenor guitar and it will surely be in the forefront of new styles of folk music yet to be invented! The widest part of this guitar's lower bout is 13 3/4". Body length is 17 1/8".

Maury's Music thoroughly inspects every guitar before it ships. We can even set it up to your specs upon request! Simply choose between "Factory Setup" or "Custom Setup" when placing your order. Click here for more details.

"D'Addario's banjo sets are available in light and medium gauges, with a nickel-plated wound 4th string. Our bluegrass set is offered with a phosphor bronze-wound 4th string for extra brilliance and sustain. A complete range of mandolin-family strings is available, as well as various string lines for dulcimer, ukulele, tenor guitar, country fiddle, cuatro, oud, and bouzouki. D'Addario prides itself on offering quality strings for every popular stringed instrument available. Unfortunately, economic reasons and a lack of technical information prevent us from carrying stock sets for certain obscure or special instruments. Custom designed and manufactured strings can be made for a reasonable cost, presuming accurate specifications about the instrument can be provided."

The scale length I decided on is quite stout compared to most guitars, including tenor guitars. Regardless of the scale length that you choose, the following steps still apply. Choose a reasonable place within the top tier of your board to position your nut, use a square to draw a line perpendicular to the center line to indicate its position.

Neck profile is a personal preference and understanding those preferences usually requires a bit of experimentation and experience by playing different instruments. If possible, a trip to a local music store allows you to study the profiles of the necks of the instruments you find most comfortable. Alternatively, you can base the neck profile off one of your own instruments. From experience, fat v-shaped necks, like the ones found on vintage resonator and parlor guitars are most comfortable for me, especially on instruments with smaller necks.

Now that the bridge is installed, we can drill the through-holes for the strings. Using a drill press for this step is recommended, but again, it can be done by hand. Use the holes on the bridge as a guide to mark the placement of the holes to be drilled and drill the holes as straight as possible. On the back of the body, enlarge the holes slightly at a depth that will accommodate the ball end of a guitar string. To make my own ferrules or string inserts, I pounded the center pins out of steel rivets and glued them into the string holes.

Our best acoustic tenor guitar features a solid spruce top for true vintage-style tone to go along with the TG-18's authentic 1930s vibe. The mahogany body is sized right in between those of the pre-WW ll tenor guitars (from Pennsylvania and Michigan) in order to increase the TG-18's low-end punch. Available as left-handed model.

In our introduction to the tenor guitar, one could get the impression that we do not like jazz-swing. In the spirit of full disclosure, a little bit of this genre goes a long way for us; just as bagpipe or accordion music does for many people. Any reference to jazz-swing was simply to explicate the aberrant use of a potentially good musical instrument in an especially non-musical way.

One does wonder about the percentage of tenor banjo and tenor guitar players in the 1930s who really enjoyed their roles, or whether making a living played a larger role than musical fulfillment. This is not to deny the skill it takes to play jazz chords with good timing. In any case, we will not be surprised to hear from the various historic jazz-swing tenor guitar interest groups wishing to express their displeasure.

Irish musicians have well-established history of playing fretted instruments melodically. Early on, Irish musicians started using tenor banjos and tenor guitars as melody instruments. They had already set the precedent with their unique use of the 5-string and the plectrum banjos, for instance.

In my next article, I will propose a 4-member family of instruments, graduated in sizes, as follow: Treble, Alto, Tenor and Baritone. These instruments are to be metal strung, tuned in 5ths and intended to be played with a plectrum (pick). The Tenor of this new instrument family is the tenor guitar strung and tuned an octave below the violin (G-D-A-E), a proper tenor tuning. The smaller Alto of the family will be tuned in the historic tenor guitar C-G-D-A (i.e. viola) tuning.

There are many tenor guitar tunings in use: standard CGDA, Irish GDAE, DGBE Chicago tuning. These of course are all derived from common tenor banjo tuning. For backing Irish tunes, I prefer an alternative open tuning.

In the early 1920s, jazz was quickly becoming one of the more popular forms of music in the United States. Tenor banjos were common in a lot of early jazz, but guitars were gaining popularity in the genre, so tenor banjo players were in the market to make an easy transition to this other fretted instrument.

Recently, tenor guitars, especially electric models, have become a more frequent sight in independent music. Warren Ellis, who performs with Nick Cave, has a signature model with Eastwood Guitars, which Amanda Shires has been spotted playing.

Recently, brands have been adding tenor guitars to their standard production line. In addition to acoustic makers like Kala (who primarily builds ukuleles, another sister instrument to tenor guitars), affordable electric tenor guitars are being manufactured by brands like Eastwood Guitars, who boasts over a dozen variations of electric tenors, including a baritone and a mandocello.

Some players with smaller hands (especially women and younger players) or who have had wrist problems occasionally have trouble navigating a standard scale, six-string guitar. Tenors have a much shorter scale, often shorter even than a Fender Mustang or Duo Sonic and have a nut width smaller than a five-string banjo.

By that time I was 6 or 7 years old and had my own guitar with songbooks by The Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger and The Weavers. I was hooked on the 6 string guitar but the tenor never completely left my mind.

In about 2006 the tenor bug came back fueled by my love of Tenor and Cello Banjos. The tenor guitar is a cross between a tenor banjo and a guitar. Tenor guitars were made for tenor guitar players when the tenor banjo started to go out of fashion.

Martin 5-17T I love the small body of the 5-17. The 5 means half size and the 17 means mahogany. T means tenor. Martin has also made style O Tenors of mahogany and the classic spruce top guitars with mahogany or rosewood back and sides. All are great!

Córdoba ukuleles capture the charm of traditional Portuguese ornamentation and exotic woods. Completely handmade, the 20TM-CE is a tenor sized ukulele with a solid mahogany top and mahogany back and sides. It features a soft cutaway and Córdoba electronics so that you can plug and play.

This guitar was made by C. F. Martin & Company in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, in 1948. It is a four course (4x1) tenor guitar, model 0-18T, serial #104342, with a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, hardwood neck, ebony fretboard, and nickel-plated tuning machines. There is a stencil on the peghead:

Nick Reynolds was a founding member of the group and he worked in it until its breakup (there have been many re-unions in the 1980s and 90s). His tenor guitar helped give the trio its almost delicate sound. At a time when most similar groups used the much more propulsive and jangly 12 string guitar as a rhythm instrument, Reynolds tenor guitar was quite distinctive. 781b155fdc
