The 1917 Martin Terz https://youtu.be/3YcpiZBkLlI video with long covid writing with eyes closed yet again, the Martin terz is a small but deep guitar from 1917 that was restored after Azure found it tettering on a shelf in a junky back room of an antique store in Maine, it was literally through the war I think, some repairs with small nails, I have it strung low with nylon nylgut and it plays wonderfully, I think Marty Robbins was the only professional player outside of the early bands perhaps German, I don't remember, that used various sizes, even a bass guitar, anyway miinimally restored except for the addition of anew bridge, the old one had been oddly made a mess of and was useless, anyway so this is the music, nothing moving in the video, just background support for the sound, it's just there, what can i say, there was ahuge electric outtage today, lucky i can type here and now and then there's the usual covid bleariness, but last night with the terz was wonderful, haptic, acoustic, visual, the feel of the well-worn neck to be sure, the sharp edges of the 1917 frets (widh I believe, if only in my imagination, might slightly emphasize the higher partials, even with the pressure of the fingers there's that resonance), if you're with me this far, at least stay for the music, nothing moving in the video - _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
