Anyone own one of those tiples with the four courses of tripled steel strings? I saw David Hidalgo of Los Lobos playing something like a Tiple, but it only had eight steel strings. The sound made me think of a 12-string guitar, but could definitely see him using uke chords.
I've heard of tiples with 12 strings, and I've heard of tiples with 10 strings. Strangely, I think the 10-string Tiple uses poly strings, while the 12-string uses steel strings.
Anyone have one with the steel strings? Who made yours, and what did it cost?
I'd also like to hear from the "plastic" string Tiple owners and your experiences, too.
I think it's super cool that there are other instruments out there that strung, tuned, and played like ukes.
