| Did any one ever try putting two Artisan 6 stringers together ( buy one with legs and one without ) with metal or wood braces to make an inexpensive D-6 console with legs good enough to do old Hawaiian with C-6th and A-6th tunings ?? I thought it might be a cheap solution to the lack of available D-6 hi-dollar consoles ?? I'm thinking about trying to work out something. Would cost maybe $160.00 for everything.?? I can't lift and carry my T-8 any more !!( sciatic nerve flare up !! ) Any one have any ideas ??? Eddie "C" ( the cheep old geezer ) |

| You might be able to bolt a couple of Artisans together, but you would probably have to move the center leg brace to the back neck for good balance. |

| I'm disappointed the Musicians Friend quit selling the Artisan, I intended to grab a few while they were so cheap, and do some experimenting with them. I know you can still get them on EBay, but not as cheap. Has anyone noticed that I'm a cheapskate? |

| Howard have you checked musican,s friend lately? I noticed on June 13 they had artisans listed for 79.00. I have one with legs to practice on and it is not too bad for such a cheap instrument. Jack |

Today I saw that blue Artisans laps are in stock in limited quanities at Musicians Friend.
Or is it limited qualities?
I had two artisans and prefer the SX lap. The SX is a a better deal for $20 more . |
