Johnny, I understand you built his Lowebow. I'm sure you know what it sounds like. It's one thing to hear it on a recording but I was completely blown away watching him play it live. You may not know how Harry tunes his strings, but what's your intended tuning? (Please disregard question if this is a trade secret.)

I'm so impressed with Harry Manx..only just discovered him thanks to this site, great melodic touch on the guitar, some lovely songs and very nice interpretations...inspired me to have go at doing "Take this Hammer" in a slide version. I'm going to listen to some more of his stuff..properly inspirational.

You really can't go wrong with his stuff. My personal favorites are "Death Have Mercy" and "Taking It to the Streets" and "Tijuana" and... well... the rest of them. Great huge sound, and it's just him.
