Duolian, Tricone, Dobro, Uke, Kala UBass, Mandola

We just received the 1st shipment of Regal Duolian and Tricone Resonators, plus a number of Regal round and square neck Resophonic (Dobro) guitars. The build quality is amazing to say the least. The Resonators pictured are solid bell brass and nickel-plated steel with aluminum resonators. The string action out of the box is near-perfect, that is if you don't mind playing the manly sized 13-gauge Daddario phosphor-bronze strings they come with. Very reasonably priced. Very low or even free shipping to lower 48 states. Call me 615 507 8518.


Great selection of Ukeles now in stock.

The amazing Kala Uke-Bass! More an electric bass despite it's appearance. When played through an amp the plastic strings give it a huge upright bass sound that has to be heard (and seen) to be believed. Reminds me of the old Guild Ashbory bass of decades past. Very quality build, great attention to detail, high-end tuners etc. Check it out at http://www.kalaukulele.com/UBASS.asp

We have a Trinity College Mandola with case. The Mandola is like an A-style mandolin only twice the size and tuned down an octave. Mainly used in Celtic music, but very much in use in the studios here in Nashville for all kinds of music. I once saw Richard Bennett play an entire set on one while backing up a rootsy country singer. Pictures will follow.

Visit me here at Sam Ash Nashville when you have the chance. 1647 Gallatin Pike North, Madison TN 37115. 1/2 a mile off I-65 at the Rivergate exit just north of Nashville. My cel is 615 507 8518 or call the store at 615 860 7475 and ask for "Nick in Guitars".
