I like Yamaha Classical Guitars and primarily the CG192 in cedar and in spruce. The sound is different and the cedar sounds more mellow from the start. I have 3 of each and the sound on each type is amazingly consistent.  They have solid tops, maple necks and ebony fret board. While I still had my collection of custom built guitars I bought two of them and played them at a concert. When I realized no one could tell the difference I sold 8 custom built to a collector and got more than I bought them for over some time and then bought the Yamaha's. I still use the same strings I have always used and no one can tell the difference in the sound.

I sold the Cordoba C12 recently.  Great sound . Just could not get past the truss  rod. It was the first and only classical I have had that had one.

The amp I take as a backup if the system where I am playing  is  Roland AC-90solid state amp because it travels nicely.  I have only used it two times when  the amp in the local sound system did not work. At one place their system went out completely in the middle of a concert and the other was for charity and they did not have a system. I bought this one new and it also has a case.

I know macs and and pc's that one has to be the oldest working mac I have seen in a long time.  If memory serves correctly this one had only large floppies.

I just listened to them and they  are great. So close to the originals if you did not know. Good songs and great performance.

I played 3 concerts recently and played banjo on the first one with someone I had taught and he came up and we played dueling banjos for the first song. It turned out to sound as it should. To be honest it is a banjo with a classical neck and nylon strings and since it is a 6 six string nylon string banjo. It sounds like a banjo but more mellow than a steel string banjo. My former student goes to the university where I was doing the concert and having Jeff playing the first song with me surprised some of his classmates.  Other than that I have played at home for some folk music just for fun.

I have read you posts and have noted them.  With due respect I am guessing none of you have ever been to a classical concert. Even phones have to be turned off and they are never recorded. If they were than I would never be invited back to the same location again and I play at the same place year after year. Also we sell CD's and usually that adds to the proceeds.

I am doing a concert a a university Friday and one of my better student is on a full music scholarship. I talked with him late last night and we are going to play Dueling Banjos with him on guitar and me on the banjo. Since he attends there we will play it first and I also emailed him the music to it. It is a concert and nothing says we can not have some fun with it.

Thank you. The one given to me is a Deering Goodtime Solana 6 Banjo Nylon String 6-String.  I can use the same string I use on classical guitars and is a D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arte. It still sounds like a banjo just a little more mellow.  The hard case still is round at the bottom and still leaves room and support for the necks. For traditional  some PP&M and Kingston Trio type music is sounds very good.

I turned it and played some last night and for some songs it was a lot of fun. The sound is good  and I will pick up some new strings. Have no idea yet how long they last.

A friend gave me a 6 sing banjo he bought a year ago and never played it. Since it is a 6 string it is turned the same as a guitar.
After reading post I realized there are none on banjos. Does anyone else on Chordie play a banjo?

Tenement Funster I really like the way Callum Graham plays. No tricks just good playing. I also noticed there were no markers on his guitar so his feel is obvious. He plays much like a classical guitarist except he uses a steel string. It looks as if it was custom built.
