There's a You Tube clip from the Lawrence Welk show where Buddy Merrill plays "South" on his quad stringmaster.
Using all four necks! With bar shivers, Speedy-esque Boowahs and bass riffs!! Highly impressive!!!

Hmm... I wonder what his tunings are. E13 - C6 - A6 and chromatic on bass neck? |

Looks like Lawrence whispers "Smile at the cameras, man!" after a few seconds..... 
Brilliant playing! |

Shades of SPEEDY WEST in Buddy's great performance. Man, the confidence under such pressure!
Yah, I think Lawrence told him to . I'm sure L.W. would have wanted the brass, reeds to smile also if he could have figured a way to do it. As JB used to say about his somewhat grumpy face while playing..."I'm not selling toothpaste!" (or simi) |

Fantastic performance by Buddy. 
And he did use all four necks.
Aloha,
