"January 10th 1991: that's when I bought my first Dreizehnter guitar... and it's been the only guitar i've owned since then; I played mostly DADGAD (celtic/irish music) or EAAEAE (sardinian dances) and never found a better guitar for these tunings... it's a slightly larger OM with a wider neck (I came from classical guitar); it toured extensively with me all over Europe. For 17 years I never thought about going for a new one; I also play a great HD bouzouki."
