Description

This short scale tenor is designed for playing traditional music. Played by Jerry Cowan, a street musician from Dublin, Ireland. This is an excellent addition to any tenor player's arsenal of instruments.

Excellent tone and volume is a result of a quality White Ladye tone ring, thin maple rim, maple neck and quality components. MOP headstock inlay, cloud abalone position markers, two way adjustable truss rod, and chrome plated hardware are standard equipment

The popularity of the Irish Tenor is increasing dramatically as mandolinists now can include a four string banjo in their instrument collection. The IT-250 is designed for a plunky tone sought after in Irish music.

The17 fret short scale neck utilises heavier strings that are 'drop tuned'  tuned to GDAE an octave below
the Fiddle and mandolin.
