1920
http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1062 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/1920.mp3 26 minute improvisation on 1890s-1920s parlor guitar, most likely a Larson Brothers model. this has had four different bridges at different times; I'm hoping for a fifth. the tone is brilliant and clear, the neck is very narrow, and I'm using nylon strings. the Larson Brothers were legendary guitar makers; I found this at a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania used instrument shop, where it was being sold as a children't guitar for $39. this and the Di Giorgio are my two perform- ing instruments; I have had no need for any other. recorded as is with added studio echo. it's harder to play than the Di Giorgio, more exacting, but the smaller body and neck gives me a greater reach for chording/intervals. enjoy. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
