Awesome, sounded great!

Thanks for all the kind comments.  I'm thinking of doing a series of proper video tutorials with tab/musical notation on this instrument.  I'll take it right back to the beginning all the way up to more advanced stuff.

Les, the tuning is DGD, lowest to highest.  This is then capoed on the 1st fret so that the sequence of frets gives you a minor scale.  So basically, it's a standard DAD tuning with the A de-tuned to G and then with the capo behind the 1st fret it's EAE.  Think of this as being in A. If you look at my previous video I explain all this.  Hope this helps.

Big bravo. You make a stick in a box sing wonderfully.

Thanks, Les.  I love tenors and would like to sample a Martin.  I found that vid on your youtube channel.  Beautiful.  A lot of nice ring to the Martin.
