Subject: vijuella and guitaron From: wayne marshall Date: 26 May 99 - 10:12 PM I have heard both of thee instruments on Jackson Browne and Lowell George recordings yet i have never had the pleasure of seeing someone play one of these. What do each of these look like? Are there Artists who have entire Cd's of either? Would anyone know of someone in Canada who plays either? |
Subject: RE: vijuella and guitaron From: Alice Date: 26 May 99 - 11:16 PM Well, do you have any Mariachi bands in Canada? Maybe a good excuse to go to Gudalajara?? Photo of a guitarron click here A mariachi band showing a guitarron click here. |

Subject: RE: vijuella and guitaron From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 May 99 - 11:33 PM Wayne, I designed a more manageable Guitarron about 5 years ago and had Glen Reid build it for me. They're great for acoustic jam sessions and sound almost as loud as a string bass. Big plus is they'll fit in the trunk of your car! |
Subject: RE: vijuella and guitarron From: wayne marshall Date: 26 May 99 - 11:46 PM Thanks Alice after following the link and seeing the photo i remember the guitarron in many a photo. I have still not scene one played in person though. All these celtic bands up here never seem to use them or perhaps in Mexico they just make reaaaaaally big acoustics. Thanks Wayne |

Subject: RE: vijuella and guitaron From: catspaw49 Date: 27 May 99 - 12:10 AM Only if he's had more than one as the other was undoubtedly stolen. Big RiB...make a note, we don't want to lose track. catspaw |
Subject: RE: vijuella and guitaron From: Tony Burns Date: 27 May 99 - 08:28 AM If Rick is refering to the bass that Glenn built you can see one at the Northern Journey Online site as it is used in their 'logo'. |
