Solo Tuning

Stan are you still with us. You're a living treasure, a gem of days gone by. I really appreciate everything you do. -- Aidan

Sigma guitars was started by Martin and up until around 2006/7 when they sold the company Sigma guitars were Martins...

I have this model too. I think I paid less than £20 at a charity shop. I prefer it to my solid-topped Ibanez. It has no bothersome resonances, and has the right sound for Flamenco, especially with the right strings, IMO.

Hi - i own this Banjo - my Dad bought it from you, so i am led to believe... still plays well but the tuners have been replaced. I do have the originals though... Great sound.

Dale Evens??? I bought a Yasuma Tiple a couple of months ago and love it. GREAT song!!!

Loved hearing this Stan ❤

This is contrabass guitar tuning which is great for playing in guitar orchestras.

Gorgeous sound, indeed. What is the name of the piece you play at the end, please? Thanks

Mine says it was made in Rumania

Aloha, qre you using a reverb pedal? Or a reverb in the amplifier?

Thank you for posting this video! May I repost your channel to the platform named Gan Jing World which is full of clean and valuable videos? I will keep your videos as is for sure. Thank you!

Bravo! Love ur playing. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful sounding vintage Martin played by the great Stan gee. What a perfect combination.Danny x

I have one of these in my hands right now. Absolutely not Spanish. made. Made in Romania. It is very much a standard sized classical instrument: 650mm scale length, 52mm nut, 1000 mm overall length (Slightly more because of the elongated headstock) and a body depth of 95-97 mm. Back in the late 70s - early 80s they were the best value cheap guitar on the market; about £20 if I recall correctly. I got many of them for my beginner students. They did indeed have a solid top, but Cedar not spruce and usually with a very nice grain. The ribs look like sycamore but the back is a generic ply. The soundboards were ladder braced rather than fan braced, as you will find if you feel inside. They sound great still - unbeaten in their price bracket. Perfect guitar for the beach.

I agree that "walk right in" was the first time a twelve string was hear in the modern day charts but Huddie Leadbetter used one on lots of his recording from 1936 to 1948

Nice banjo I've got a Barnes & Mullins 6 string banjo the only draw back with it is you can only use loop end banjo strings which are not easy to find as. 6 string sets

Just got a regular 16 at the pawnshop. Barely played. Bought what appears to be a Deluxe 30 pot a few minutes ago from eBay.

That's music ooo just brilliant thanks

I stuffed my Korala polycarbonate concert uke with teddy innards foam, from a craft and sewing shop. I was mostly aiming to make it quieter, so the neighbours don't hear it. I didn't really succeed in that - it's not a quiet as I'd hoped, but it does change the tone quite a bit.

What an amazing voice 👋

Thanks so much for telling us about the 10-7/8 head size and med-to-high crown! I've been scouring the internet looking for that information after I tried and failed to fit an 11-inch replacement. Great video!

Thanks for the video and information. Bought a minty one today. Late sixties, original plastic head, barely played. My 11 year old son it the banjo player. I’ll send him this video. Cheers.

Back in the USSR would sound great on this thing because George Harrison was picking away on a Bass VI, & this could be great for unplugged settings.

Nice!

@UCbivQxQj4aLjeCtG9FMy8eg I managed to restring my Fender Classical Guitar w/ Magma Octave Down Tuning Strings:magmastoreusa.com/collections/transpositor/products/copy-of-magma-classical-guitar-strings-normal-tension-special-nylon-silver-plated-copper-gc110-2

Brilliant stan looking forward to tomorrow's first lesson 👍👍

Thanks Junior, I'll check it out. Chordially Stan Gee.

I have one exactly like this!

You know I can find where I can look to tune it

@UCbivQxQj4aLjeCtG9FMy8eg It looks cross between a 12 String Guitar & a Cello. I have a 5 String Cello:ruclips.net/video/AbXROs6MWeo/видео.html

You still alive Stan? We miss your uploads Brother. Philadelphia

Hi Stan, Tom cutler here, could you email me on tm12cutler@hotmail.co.uk Or call me 07963562505, regarding the gibson back, thanks!

I've got one, I assumed it was pretty cheap but good to know for sure! I paid about a fiver for it, plus or minus a new nut and strings. They're made in Spain as well, very authentic.

Stan Gee The added Pickup really works & all Bajo Sextos should have a Pickup so that you can play through an amp.

Nice dulcimer. Thank you

I just bought one of the older models with no resonator on eBay. Excitedly waiting on it to arrive.

Great video!

I’m really enjoying your old videos Stan. Remember when you used to record my lessons on cassette? Good times!

Brilliant Stan! A great story behind the demonstration!

A fascinating video Stan. If you come across a left handed one, let me know. Cheers!

I can still play Wildwood Flower that you taught me 30 years ago! I will play Wildwood on my J45 for you soon.

I always knew I was a lefty Stan. Thanks for all your posts, which I really enjoy.

I could use it for Bottesini

Had mine around 20 years now,paid something like £120.needs new head gear as the cogs are a little worn and I put a pickup under the bridge around 15 years ago.Apart from the occasional restring and cleanup it's been a good workhorse which has never let me down.It'll be in my coffin when I go.....

@UCbivQxQj4aLjeCtG9FMy8eg This instrument really sings. The Bass VI is more or less an Electric Bajo Sexto.

@UCbivQxQj4aLjeCtG9FMy8eg Utilizing all 6 Pairs of Strings on a Bajo Sexto gets easier:ruclips.net/video/Nh1QrJH78s4/видео.html

@UCbivQxQj4aLjeCtG9FMy8eg The thing with the Octave Lower Low E String on a Bajo Sexto, as non ear piercing as it sounds in order to get a good sound the body would need to be bigger.

I know this is a two year old video but I found it because I was looking for more information about the model and I just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. I have my dad's guitar and it's one of these and I knew nothing about it, but now I can tell him the top is solid spruce! Just doing a bridge repair but really looking forward to playing it having heard yours 👍

Thanks so much for that stan, you got me thinking about getting a uke cheers mate, Wayne
