Ballbreaker? Umm that was a joke. I am aware of the difference. Funny, for someone so snotty your history is a little off. They were used for a variety of musical purposes not just so 4-string banjo players could learn the guitar. That is a new one on me. And I don't know tons. I interview people who DO. ANd you are not one of those. But good luck with the anonymous internet commenting. It is a good career .
I'm sorry but it seems that Mr Ogle doesn't know much about tenor guitars.
-They are definitely NOT "oversized ukeleles". I'm still shocked :)
-this GUITARS were created as an easy way for tenor banjo players to change to guitar as it was being demanded back in the 20's and 30's
-They are tuned in fifths (CGDA for jazz and GDAE or DGDG for irish music) mainly. I never heard of anyone tuning it like an ukelele. And tuning it like 4 strings of a regular 6 string guitar makes no sense!!!
miss him deeply, play hard up in the big gig in the sky blues guy. miss you.
