Based on the success of an earlier book for AMA Verlag [Ten Tickets for Two Roads], More Tickets presents 16 additional solo compositions that can be accompanied by a second melody. Through field testing with students, an effort was made to keep these pieces at a uniformly intermediate level of difficulty. The book’s companion CD- recorded and mixed at the Winding Road Studios in Löchgau, Germany- is meant to be enjoyed as a standalone recording as well as an educational aid; the authors suggest listening to the duet versions first, as in some pieces the entry of the second guitar part is slightly delayed. On second listening, the authors urge you to play along with the split-track recording, choosing your duet partner by adjusting the panning knob. Be aware, however, that those pieces with delayed entry of the second guitar will “begin” with the second part if the balance knob is turned to emphasize that channel. For even more fun and as an aid to keeping the beat, hand percussion or drums have been added to the mix. All selections appear in standard notation and tablature. Bilingual text in English and German.

I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!

I am very happy with the quality of the instrument. I am of Puerto Rican decent and it reminds me of my childhood, watching the musicians and learning to play myself. It is a beautiful guiro and sounds amazing.

It's great to be able to buy a hurdy gurdy in the US without having to wait for 6 months to a year or more. The Aplo is a quality entry level instrument that produces beautiful sound. It resonates very well and there are no buzzes or squeaks. Workmanship is very good. I got mine cottoned, rosined and tuned in a half hour. The transaction was easy and it arrived within a week.
I've been able to play some tunes on it with only a few hours of practice. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I love it, the entonation is really very good (sorry for my bat english).
Regards!

My wife has unbelievable rhythm and always taps along with music. The tunable was a surprise gift she instantly loved and played along with an old Steve Miller CD.
