Amazing mate

Hi Tom, Wow! This sounds amazing!! your playing has a such a melodic drive but also a cascading fluidity about it. I also love the mellowness of this instrument its really pleasing to the ear and not overly bright sounding like many Irish Bouzoukis are. I would love to know what strings you are using here as the sound here is immense! Kind Regards, Johnny

well done!

I wondered...thought it was CGDAD at first, then i started to think, wait that's GDAD. You should post those ABCs somewhere. "Tom Kimber's" or "The Missing Strings", lovely tune.

Thanks very much, it’s a Thomas Buchanan. I don’t see them for sale too often but here’s his website: folkmandolin.co.uk

Absolutely beautiful, dude

What a wonderful tune Tom. Is it published anywhere? I really love your touch and sensitivity on this Buchanan Cittern. Could I contact you as I'm contemplating a Buchanan OM and would love to hear your thoughts

Brilliant playing playing. What's the name of this (probably v. famous) fantastic tune? If you ever do a boom of your tunes Tom I'd happily pay good money for that btw

Thanks Tom! I haven’t given it a name yet!

Lovely fluid playing, Tom. Excellent. Can you tell me what tuning you use for this and do you use other tunings? I’m a mandolin and guitar and I’ve just been given a cittern. I’d like to get off on a solid start. Thanks Rob.

Thanks Rob, I usually use GDADA and have tried it in GDAEG and AEAEA but I only had the bottom four courses on for this video GDAD. This particular instrument has a short scale so wouldn’t be ideal for tuning any lower than G on the bottom but I’ve heard of people using CGDAE. Hope this helps!

Wow you are great! If I may ask....what scale length is your Buchanon? I have a Peterson with a 22.5 inch and its a tad too long for me but I love the look and sound....I've had it for 22 years...

Hi Anders! It’s a Golden Age project FC4. I also have a large diaphragm version that I use a lot, they tend to be very warm sounding mics, so great for taming the high end of stringed instruments

Lovely tune. That instrument has a full sound to it. Is it the 4 high courses that are tuned GDAD (with the low set at C)?

@tomkimbermusic

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! That’s one way to tune it although with the shortish scale length, I find it better to tune the lower 4 courses like that with a high A on top
