Wife has an old F-hole archtop Harmony tenor since about 1967 - due to a riding injury her hand won't handle a 6-string. I learned to play guitar (after a fasion) with it, then figured out the 2 bass strings when I graduated to an "adult" guitar. It is a sweet little thing, especially for kids or women with small hands. I have yet to find one of those scaled-down kid's guitars that will tune or intone properly - even the pricey ones. That is (I know) really frustrating for a young aspiring guitarist - or the adult trying to teach and encourage them!

The Harmony was pretty much a "Workingman's" (or Woman's) industrial - grade instrument, but they are usually pretty sturdy, if not pretty, and I've heard some really sweet sounding ones.
