Eddie Lang is playing the original arch-top F-Hole design, the Gibson L-5, designed under the auspices of Lloyd Loar, who oversaw a golden age of Gibson stringed instruments. The "old guitars" weren't "painful to play" on as one commentator surmised. Not so. But Eddie Lang strung his instrument with heavy strings. VERY HEAVY STRINGS. Likely a wound B.

Yes, you're right! And looking back at my post, i didn't make it clear that it was Eddie Lang who succumbed to tonsil surgery, whereas of course Django's hand was damaged in a fire in his caravan.

Ah I thought you were talking about Django's hand. Bummer to lose such talent at such a young age.

Actually, it was surgery for infected tonsils, and he died as a result of bleeding which could not be stopped.

Only time I've read that Django came to the U.S. was with Ellington in 1946. That was when he was late to Carnegie Hall and hacked off the American music critics.

@Dicedude you might want to read my post again - that is exactly what I said. I was merely lamenting the fact that they never met. By the way, Django's career didn't start in 1934. . From '29-'33 he was already playing regularly. In 1933 alone he recorded numerous tracks, over 30 with the singer Jean Sablon, even more with Freddy Taylor. His career was already well under way. The Quintette was started in 1934. Check your facts before correcting someone else.

Both Django and Eddie (Sal) started out playing banjo guitar, each man played an ethnic music: Django playing waltz time musette and Eddie playing Italian pop tunes very much related (both with accordion accompaniment). Eddie was really the first one to swap the banjo for the guitar, you can hear all the jazz bands featured banjo before him. Philly just held Eddie Lang day!

@flooberbloob Django actually only visited the States briefly in 1946 to go on tour with Duke Ellington.
