Hey Lee & Bob,
Take a moment and get on You Tube. Then there's a search bar thing, so search
for Tut Taylor. This will get you right to all the videos that Tut & his son Mark have posted. There's two videos re: Tut's Collection of Instruments.....or words to that effect. The first one is Tut describing these instruments.....um.....if I remember right, there's a four string....aw hell, I don't know exactly WHAT it is, but it can be tuned like a tenor guitar, or a plectrum banjo. There was also a reso-mando, and Jens Kruger plays them all.....but the SHINING part, to me and the List, was Jens playing the white dobro that Tut & Mark made for the Grammy Award for The Great Dobro Sessions.
It's worth watching, just to watch Jens Kruger's right hand technique while he's
playing that dobro! He's just awesome.....
That's the way "twangin" SHOULD be done,
Richie
Ps.....I've always been a Kruger Bros. fan, since the first time I heard them,
but now that I realize Jens is a SUPER TWANGER......well, I'm just gonna have to
sit down, and "discuss" with Tut, who actually IS the "Kruger Bros. #1 Fan! So
Tut, & Mark....you keep posting those videos!!! Keep building those AWESOME instruments.
