Blimey, what a headstock! I'm guessing he is basing his improv, very loosely, on medieval troubadour melodies. Never seen that instrument before, cheers for posting.

Is this the beastie? It has a cool retro style.

IMO, they are plug ugly, wouldn't sit on your knee well and despite all the "evidence", it still sounded cheap.

Not my cup of tea, that. I remember some music snob, many years ago, telling me that Phillip Picket was considered more authentic, as he was a trained musician, whereas David Munrow was more of a skilled amateur. So I bought a lot of his stuff and found it lacking, mostly. Fortunately there are some amazing recordings out there. I found a French group, forgot the name, who had an fantastic sound. I'll have to dig out that CD. Here's a re-imagining of a Salterello, by Dead Can Dance.

Nice one. I always love the haunting quality of a lot of early music. I still remember discovering early and renaissance music, back in my mid teens (1970s), in the shape of David Munrow and the Early Music Consort of London and The Jaye Consort. So much more available these days.

Mr Cockney Rebel has died. Rather sad. I enjoyed his 70s hits and the sense of humour in a lot of his lyrics. My favourite line of his, from Mr Soft being, "Don't you know, life gets tedious enough without this extra grudge to bear". Quality.

Have a Teletastic time. Old or not, a NGD still lifts the spirits.

Try: darrelhigham.com/It contains his book. Darrel is IMO, the best rockabilly guitarist around. Good luck, I love rockabilly and vintage RnR.

Having a plastic, bowl, back and sides and wood top, means organic glued to inorganic, therefore movement with no movement, so often leads to misshaped or split tops. But life being as it is, I have seen really old Ovations that are still as solid as a rock. They are almost always very easy to play, too. But to buy unseen is not really worth it, IMO.

Nice playing guys. Your D500 seems a fair bit louder than your friend's guitar.
