j45nick Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I can barely play six strings (sometimes 12). How the heck am I going to learn to play 16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danner Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This makes me wonder if they were right... ... about Orville being slightly 'touched'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 That is truly wild. Sort of makes you want to turn off the lights, light a few candles, light up a...... Oops, for a moment there I forgot it's not 1970 anymore.... Seriously, I once heard a guy play Bach on the harp guitar, and it just about blew me away.

jt Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Cool guitar. I believe that the Larson brothers-made Dyer harp guitars are the finest ever made. Here I am with my 1917 Style 7 Dyer Symphony harp guitar; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-G2Y3vi1hc&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I actually owned one of those in the late 1960s. Some store had it hanging on the wall as a decoration and I talked them into letting me have it on the cheap. Can't say much about it as it was unplayable. I never got it fixed so it ended up spending a few years as a decoration in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think the Gibson Style U harp guitar and Style O Artist are two of the most beautiful musical instruments ever made - not just by Gibson, but by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree all the way on the Style O. Did Gibson ever make a mando/guitar combination? I have seen them built by others but don't recall seeing a Gibson version.
