Hey Michael et al~
We've got a Silvatone we are researching, and rumour has it you know a guy who know's a guy who remains vague and mysterious...
Care to hook us up?
Thnaks!
Jesse

Ooops. Ok I figured this thing out now. Pictures soon. I'm working on the history of these things especially as they relate to Arthur Hensel's guitars. Care to share anything you know?

Pictures of the Silvatone are up now at www.folkwaymusic.com. I can't seem to get a picture file to open here. Please have a look, and feel free to post one from us if you know how. Jesse

Very unusual tenor resophonic made by Mark Taylor. Real snake skin on the coverplate, and two snakes heads on the headstock and tail piece... Brrrr...Does it has got a bite?

...Or do you prefer the Mandolin "spider" version, it must have a real tarentula living into its bridge and cone! (This is from the personal collection of Tut Taylor-Crafters of Tennessee)

Hi Jesse, Pop over to our www.notecannons.com site, scroll down to Charles.E Brasher in the Patents section for pictures of other Brasher built instruments. The mysterious man you are hearing about for info about Brasher is, I suspect, David Glass of Pincher Creek near Calgary (if you can get him to talk to you). Sadly he took offense when I put up the Brasher info I had at notecannons, Peter Sloan who has 2 Brashers visited with him a few years back and apparently David seems to think that in some weird way I was slighting him by treading in 'his' field of expertise. I haven't time for such @#$% and declined to take down my pages which apparently he wanted me to do(!). So, since a Silvatone is the instrument I don't have pictures of, may I add 'yours' to notecannons, and I'll post them here too. Aloha, Colin McC Whistler BC

I just contacted the guy who told me another 'Maui' had appeared, who confirms that it is actually this Silvatone at folkwaymusic...

Anyone come across Del Vecchio guitars? I noticed National sell replacement cones for them and became intrigued. Not much info on the web, but it seems as though they're rather different from the resos we're used to . Take a look: www.atlasofpluckedinstruments.com/steelguitars.htm

Hey all. Please take a look at my '31 National tenor blues banjo. www.rowan-upcountry.com/wiresandwood/I think I have to sell it, but I so wish it wasn't so. I spent six months looking for an old wooden tenor guitar, and ended up with this baby. Fell in love with the shiny old fatbelly honk. Spent way too much of my wife's money on it, and I can only play it some days - not every day. So now I'm refocusing, sounding out buyers, back to scouring tenorguitar.com. Comments, shouts at valuation, insults, all welcome Cheers
