On May 26th 1988 at 3:10 in the afternoon I ran my left hand through a table saw. All my fingers and my thumb were severely lacerated and my middle finger was severed except for some tissue. The reattachment was a success and my had works to a degree. I began looking for a tenor guitar to play, expecting to never again play a 6 string. I never found a tenor guitar but I saw Tim O'Brien do a show once with an 8-String thing with a guitar body and "F" holes can this be the guitar sized bouzouki that Bob mentioned? I'd sting give one a try altho' I am back on the F-30 guild and Ode Long Neck 5.Don
