I believe the instrument he played is called the mohan veena, which was
invented by the Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Manx learned how to
play the mohan veena from Bhatt.
V. M. Bhatt also made an album with Jerry Douglas called "Bourbon and
Rosewater", which I cannot recommend highly enough. It not only showcases
the mohan veena beautifully, but is also a terrific example of what the
dobro can do in a master's hands. It's not just for bluegrass anymore!

Subject: [RESOGUIT-L] Harry Manx
Some time ago mention was made here of Harry Manx. He played a date here
in
Williamsport last night and I made it to his show. No resos in his array
of
instruments but he did play lap style with a regular acoustic guitar and
with
something that looked like an arch top guitar but it had 20 strings and
sounded
very much like a sitar. He said the name of it but I am unable to recall
it.
The instrument was made in India. Anyway, it was a very good show to sit
through. He has a particularly appealing voice as well.
A thank you to those who brought his name up. I enjoyed myself listening
to
him.
