Topic: Yasuma guitars (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Any one have any experience of Yasuma guitars from Japan,I know they did a copy of a Martin d 25 in the 70s but its difficult to find any other info .I aquired one designated BMJumbo 155 some years ago with a broken head stock which I repaired ,said guitar was just used to decorate a wall in my music room ,however since getting it back to the UK I'm wondering if it has any value.I've contacted the importers BM music but no reply yet.

Re: Traveling with my guitar (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Depends on the airline ,some allow it in a soft case as cabin luggage or you can buy a sear for it,Agean do this.I brought my ovation as hold luggage in a semi hard case no problem ,but as I say it depends on the airline best bet is phone customer service for your airline.

Re: Mandolin (18 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
I play a bit of mandolin ,just a few simple chords ,I would suggest you get it set up as low as possible with extra light strings makes a big difference to your fingers.the chords are different to guitar but not bad to master the simple ones

Re: Teton Guitars (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
To echo what the others say its what you feel comfortable with I have many guitars some high end some low all have their own characteristics . My son once said Dad why do you need all these guitars , one day he will understand ,at the moment my go to electric is a yamaha pacifica which I paid 50 pounds for in a junk shop my go to acoustic is an ovation applause which I've had for years and gigged all over .A high price tag does not necessarily make a good instrument .
