Another simple song, this time to demonstrate a Singing Treholipee. I'm pretty sure it's by Ned Sublette, who not only writes some great songs - check out his album 'Cowboy Rumba' - but excellent books too, such as 'Cuba and Its Music'.

Sorry, TheArbiter74, but I accidentally removed your comment! I'll post it again:
I have a "singing treholipee" made by the swagerty company in the mid-sixties and marketed to surfers to protrude out in the sand on the beach when they were surfing!!! Extremely cool looking instrument, however mine has some serious intonation/tuning problems. When i play chords, they don't sound as pretty as yours, bill. So cool to see others who have this oddity!!!

So I have a singing treholipee myself but I can't play it because the wood around the pegs has deteriorated and its impossible to tune... have you encountered any of the same troubles?
Thanks

Ripper Bill. Does that have a magazine, or is it a single shot?
