Pineapple Tenor in Blackwood and Sitka Spruce
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 6:49 am
This is my first left handed instrument, and I found I had to keep reminding myself through the entire build so as not to stuff something up. Stringing it up proved to be more difficult than I would have though as with re-entrant tuning it's really easy to mix up the 1st and 4th strings, along with tuning them to the correct pitch. Can really make you feel dyslexic.
