Baroq-ulele, Tenor, Rosewood, Tuners w/ Tuning Chart CD & Soft Case Overview




Based on the round-back guitar found in Germany, the Baroq-uleles are one of the most option-rich lines of instruments we carry. This Tenor-sized instrument is based upon a 344.5mm (13.56 inch) scale. It features a European spruce soundboard with an interlaced rosette design taken from a 16th century vihuela. The back is a round-back or bowl shape made of staves of sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo). The neck is solid sheesham rosewood and features a nut width of 36mm (1.44 inches) with a bone nut. This instrument is outfitted with standard friction ukulele tuners. The bridge, also made of sheesham rosewood incorporates a genuine bone saddle. An end-pin strap button is standard. A soft case is included.

The Baroq-uleles come in 3 sizes including Soprano, Concert and Tenor. Each size is graced with its own unique rosette design, each of which is taken from museum examples from the 16th and 17th centuries.

In addition to the three sizes, the Baroque-ulele is also available with 3 types of woods for the back: sheesham rosewood, lacewood (chenar) or variegated with alternating staves of rosewood and lacewood. Finally, ensuring that you will find an instrument that best fits your needs, these instruments are also available with two types of tuning keys: Baroque-style ebony tuning pegs or standard ukulele friction tuners. All Models are sold separately.

Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica, C

Hohner 560 Special 20 Harmonica, C Review



So, the products is awesome. Really lovely. Great for the money. Awesome to learn on. I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a girlfriend they care about.

See, I was dating this girl. We had been together for six years. She was the love of my life. The most important thing in the Universe to me. Anyway, I got this harmonica behind her back. I wanted to get good at it, then impress her. Well, that didn't last long. I popped it out and showed her what I had got and she loved it. In fact, we both got a little more into music because of it. Blues to be precise. What I had to be blue about back then.... I don't know. Not really anything.

We got in this rut where I was working and going to college every single day. I really didn't have any time. I'd play the harmonica on my security job, and was getting pretty good! Great product! I recommend youtube videos for lessons. Anyhow, my girlfriend had a lot of time on her hands, and not a lot of friends. I eventually convinced her to rekindle her relationship with an old girlfriend. They'd hit the bars on the weekends, and I stayed at work doing security.

My job relief thought I was insane. I explained to him though that six years was a long time, and I trusted her with my life. With everything. Even then, I knew I sounded incredibly naive. I was proud though. Proud of her. Proud of me. We were special. We were important. It was us, and THEN the world. Nothing comes between that.

Her blues thing got kind of important to her, but she never wanted me to come out with her. No big deal. She was with a bunch of girls, and I respected that space. A month later, she slept with a 30 year-old recovering meth addict blues band guy from one of the bars. She was 21. I was 22.

It hurt.

It still hurts. To fall asleep, I have to pass out. This means I stay up for days haunted by memory. Then I pass out for 10 hours of nightmares. She cheated on me July 4th of 2009. It's May 12th of 1010. I'm two months from the anniversary of that night. She's with a different guy now. I loved her. I say that every day. It's automatic now. A pout that escapes my thoughts, to my voice, every single day. It happens before I can realize I'm going to say something. I never realize I've said it, until it's past my lips. I loved her. I loved her.

I don't care who you are, what you do, or how important she says you are to her. A 30 year old hipster with a harmonica can make your girlfriend think you're holding her back from her life. You want to learn the blues? Go right ahead. Buy it. Just be prepared to sing em'.

Be prepared, to sing the blues.
