Howard-that Del Pilar requinto

[theevan]

It surfaced on my feed. Anxiously awaiting an answer. Alas, he's in Roslyn Heights. Want it? If not, I'll take it.

Depending on traffic, Roslyn Heights is about a 45-minute to an hour drive for me. If I had a car. I can't see the ad because I do not have a FB account. I also don't play the requinto, so if you're willing to take a chance with the shipping, etc., it could be all yours, Evan. 🙂

OK, Howard.

I Just checked where he is and he is indeed out of reach. I'll let you know what happens.

It would be about an hour and 12 minutes door to door on public transit (subway, Long Island Rail Road). Let me know, indeed.

He'll only sell with cash, in-person. No big deal. Not an itch I must scratch.

The seller is one Chris Trietsch. He performs on, records, and build ukuleles.

Not familiar with him.

It creeps me out when musicians smile at the camera during a performance.

Anyone else feel the same?

That’s his submission for a slot in the Tiny Desk Concert. I’m guessing he’s mugging for the judges and producers.

Eeeew. 

(My question would have been answered satisfactorily with a simple yes or no.  )

I have a requinto buried in the archive closet somewhere. A cheapie JOB. I know it is a requinto and not a half size due to the full 52mm neck width.

It depends, but generally yes.

It could always be worse

Oh, lawsy.

I definitely think a person should look mean and unhappy when playing. A proper grimace goes a long way. If you can also sweat profusely it’s icing on the cake.

Unless it's a classical guitarist. Then you have to have a poise and look of "Lost in a Moment of Quiet Passion".

Coincidentally, just yesterday I posted this to facebook:

What would happen if potters
Started making guitar player faces?
What if we broke into grimaces
Even though we’re just turning vases?

What if, while wedging four-pounders
We sneered for all that we’re worth
Or mimicked an expression of abject pain
Like a woman enduring child birth?

Oh! Better yet! What if we envisioned
Adoring fans holding out candles
And adopted naughty, lascivious grins
While languidly pulling our handles?

Would our pots reflect our hip attitude
If we looked like we couldn’t care less?
It seems to work for guitar players
Could this be the key to success?
