Beer of the Bass Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I've played for a long time, I got interested when I was a teenager back in the 90s. I had an old Italian bowlback (which I still have but find uncomfortable) and for the last couple of years a Sears catalogue Harmony archtop. I've also played octave mandola and now cittern. But I've just picked up this guy to add to the family, it's a Fylde from 1999, before the current Touchstone models. It's lovely to play and has good sustain across the range - not quite the type of woody punch you'd want for bluegrass but great for my mostly Scottish and Irish repertoire. I have D'addario EFW74 flatwound strings on there at the moment, I like how clean and round a note they give, without any clang on the bottom string. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
