Clinesmith Joaquin was just delivered

Post by David DeLoach »

FedEx just dropped off my Clinesmith Joaquin.

I had Todd build it with the wider string spacing option and a horseshoe pickup.

This steel plays and sounds so wonderfully! Todd truly builds great instruments. I'm looking forward to making a lot of music with this steel.

Beautiful instrument! It’s great to see that Todd’s building again. He’s a true craftsman.

The Inevitable Tuning Question

This is the inevitable tuning question. It’s so cliche that I won’t even bother to phrase it as a question. :lol:

Fantastic! Congrats on the new steel. I’ll bet the wood body plus horseshoe pickup is really nice.
