Glen Reid	baritone guitar (27)	RE: baritone guitar	17 Oct 02
As a matter of fact, Rick's mando-thingie was the prototype of that particular instrument,(In 1991 Rick and I came up with the concept for it, a scale,somewhere between a mandolin and a mandola, truly a "little bastard") although I built a couple of banjoes prior to that and countless repairs, it was indeed the first. As for this new vision Rick, I'm intrigued. When I built the baritone for Emmylou, I went with heavy gauge Martin bronze strings and the bottom end was in your face.Had I gone with heavier gauge, I guess the testosterone level would have increased for sure. All this talk has got me wanting to do another. Glen
