Subcontrabass guitar

Does this even exist? Searching Google, I mostly only find Wikipedia mirrors. ANDROS¹³³⁷ 15:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A google search for ""subcontrabass guitar" -wiki -wikipedia" lead mostly to dictionary sites saying more or less the same thing that's in the article. However, I did find one possibly reliable source. [1]. It is third party, appears to be reliable, and it has a picture of a man holding a subcontrabass guitar in it, which at least verifies that it exists.

Merge into bass guitar. Subcontrabass guitars certainly exist, but aren't a standardized instrument. They are generally one-offs done by custom shops. I can't find much in the way of reliable sourcing either.—Kww(talk) 17:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

merged into Bass guitar tuning. 'Subcontrabass' isn't a particular type of guitar, just of tuning (per article), so added to the more appropriate article. --AlisonW (talk) 10:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
