The Shrine/Basho's 12 string guitar
the 12 string ca 1978
Basho's mexican 12 string guitar is back on earth
The guitar was discovered during production of
"The Voice of the Eagle: The Enigma of Robbie Basho"...A great surprise!!
- in fact, it has never been off, only had a nearly unknown daily life...
It needs some repair and refreshment and even then would probable not be a
very playable instrument. It was a problematic instrument when Robbie had it,
it was not treated well in the ensuing years and has suffered more.
And: - it's a really old lady!!! - Possibly made between 1888 - 1920 |

There are still many questions: Where is his 6 string guitar, notes, unpublished works, tapes...? Does anybody know anything? And please: If You have old handbills, posters, photos and You are thinking of selling - when You make a scan, please think of sending an image to the archives. Everything is very welcome. And when somebody could add some notes, stories..., please send a message.
