Yes Glenn, I remember meeting you. Hello, and how are you??? Thanks for responding. I will look at your website after I post this message.

I am surprised Emmy Lou has an interest in the baritone guitar, since - but I suppose it may make sense for her choice of keys and chord forms, as well. I noticed she prefere the Gibson Jumbos. I love my Larrivee Jumbo. And it really does sound quite good tuned down one whole step, with medium guage strings - but of course, this is my primary instrument and I can't afford to keep it set up that way.

I had a beautiful Santa Cruz 000 and was impressed with his Tony Rice dred, too - so I was hopeful his bari would be as good. But it was NOT in the same range of quality, and maybe it was a set-up issue, as he claimed. But I'm dubious.

What about converting a 6? The scale could work. If the instrument could handle the pressure of heavy guage strings, could I not find one that might convert and sound OK?
