Hi Fred: The guitar is tuned in Muriel's Requinto tuning, and I'm hoping that she will buy it, because that would get the fan-fretted 10-string in front of a...

Matthew, Great job! I enjoyed the music as well as the recording. I, particularly, enjoyed the sensitive phrasing of the music-very lute like. BTW, where did...

Thanks Vince! I used a recording by the Lutenist and excellent musician Robert Barto, he has a recording on Naxos that is very good. There is a transcription...
Sounds terrific, Matthew. How long have you had your 10-string? It would seem that you adjusted to the extra strings well. Can you share some of your video...
Sounded great Matthew, I really liked the cross string trills too. I'm big fan of those. ... _________________________________________________________________ ...

Hello Matthew, Fine playing! Impressed that you managed such a performance in just three months. I used to play a 6s guitar part with violins and cello in an...
Hello James, Thank you for the kind comments. Some of the sonatas I already play with six string and flute I am quite sure will also work with ten string and...
Hi Matthew, and thanks for posting: I think a big question for new 10-string players is how to best go about learning the new instrument. Did you have a...

Hi Matthew, Nice playing on youtube. What tuning do you use? I use the Yepes tuning. One reason I got a 10 string is so I could play Maurice Ohana's music for...
Hi Stephen, Lots of hard work so far! Not pretending to practice and sitting back and enjoying the glorious sound of ten string but really rolling my sleeves...
Hi Rob, On the Locatelli I used: 1-E 2-B 3-F# 4-D 5-A 6-E 7-D# 8-C# 9-B 10-A I have had a go at the Yepes tuning but will have to really dedicate more time to...
Andrew, This tuning is typically what one uses with baroque/romantic tuning when playing in E. As with lutes, one retunes the basses to suit the key. James....
Hi Matthew: Can you tell us about your p i a scales?? First, it is very rare for a guitarist to use p in their scales at all, let alone the combination of p i...
Hi Andrew & James, Yes it is basically the Baroque / Romantic tuning with the basses adjusted to suit the kef of the theme and then subsequent variations. ...
Hi Stephen, It is something completely specific to myself and my right hand, so not something I would advocate to other players although p,a can work up an...

The Early Romantic Site mentions that the Boije Collection http://www.muslib.se/ebibliotek/boije/indexeng.htm includes works for 7-10 string guitar. Is there a...
I thought Jouni would reply to this. He'd be able to answer it the best. Check out both Coste and Mertz for 10-string and 7-string, respectively. You might...
Thank you both. The reason I ask is of course that I'll add this tuning to my web page at http://tunings.pbworks.com/Ten-string-guitar which like the site of...
