To all our members, Greetings, Here,s a website that lists chords for playing the bouzouki/mandola in DAea tuning. If any of you tune yer guitars this way,...

Another C-1 T now on E-Bay. This one is in great shape, but has been fiddled with a bit for an added pickup, now gone. Year is 1932. It is a mahogany, not...
