allanwill HELP Identify this instrument. (17) HELP Identify this instrument. 12 Jan 03

Went to the local Trash and Treasure market this morning and, as usual, looked at all the old and beaten up guitars in case there was a Martin amongst them (fat chance!).

Didn't find one, but what I did come across was a guitar-like instrument that I can't work out. It's about 3/4 size, has 12 tuning pegs and the nut and bridge saddle are configured so that when strung there would be 4 "sets" of three strings (lll lll lll lll).

I thought it might be something out of a Mariachi band but I did a Google search and couldn't find anything.

Anyway, I bought it ($15), so if anyone can tell me what to do with it (politely) I would be grateful.

Allan
