How is it tuned, Mike? Is this one part of your stable, or are you just the surgeon in charge?

Location: Upper Left USA		The Guitarron is a Mariachi Bass that is plucked and usually by hitting Octaves.

Fretles means you need to finger (Thumb?) the right positions but I believe you will only need to be in 3-5 places.

In your mind's ear try to hear the "Oom-Pah-Pah" of a Mariachi Bass.

Muchos Tacos!

I am repairing this for a Freind.

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia		No harder to play than a double bass.

Among the most fun evenings I've had was following a Mariachi trio from bar to bar, paying for the first song in each to encourage others to hire them to stay and play.

.....the end of that evening gets a little foggy.
