I'd like to make an apology for airing my recent comments about a guitar which belongs to a fine Houston 10-String guitarist, and fellow listmember, Erich...
Hi everybody! There's a 10 string currently on auction on Ebay: http://tinyurl.com/dcv7s This used to be my guitar, which I traded back to Darren Hippner...
++ OK Stephen - [ ?~~ - I must have missed that post ] - we won't Pillory Yew in front of the KRAMER 'speed-THRASH-metal Guitar Factory this time - but...
Hi Glen, This is a great idea for playable instruments. For fixer-uppers maybe the instrument could be used as a drum instead. :) Anyway, thanks for posting...
Hi Glenn, Thanks for this information, can you give me more details such the exact name of the program, the adress or person who is selling it?. My best...

Looking at the examples, I can see this is a very powerful advertising tool. Given that high quality guitars usually don't sell well on EBAY, this appears to...
I remember once seeing a University Guitar Ensemble where one guitar had 6=low A. It was subtle, but it provided that low end in places that really made a...

Of course, the multi string guitar would be ideal. I was thinking more about someone who doesn't have a multi-string guitar yet, or maybe can't afford one....
I've run across a number of solo pieces that call for the 6'th tuned to low C and the 5-th tuned to G. This could be a viable 6-string tuning as it's a cello...
... From: "Steven P. Bastien" <bastiens@...> ... My substitute plays an 8 string so they don't lose out on the lows when I'm not in the Philippines ;-)...
This tuning certainly would be more useful for groups than for solo work where you have to fret the bass and perhaps some other strings in a very awkward ...
Hi Marion, I agree with you, of course! In a sense we are all preaching to the choir here. :-) What I find interesting is that we see these various 6-string...
Hi Steve, I agree that it is amazing how set in their ways some musicians are about trying even slight variations on their instruments. In addition to the ...
I'd like to apologize for my recent comments about a 10-string guitar made by Taos, NM, luthier Michael Thames. In no way did I mean to imply that his Dresden...
Hi James, Yes, that's a perfect example! By the way, I very much enjoyed the article "More Than Six, or Playing the Notes Other Guitars Cannot Reach". I...
Hi James, Steve and everyone, I think it is not the best approach to retune that often in the middle of a concert. If the performer really needed all of those...
Hi everyone, It seems to me that the beautiful tone and enhanced overtones of the muiti-stringed guitar, not to mention the ability to read directly from tab,...
Well, 6 stringers aren't the only ones plagued with having to retune often. The very first classical guitar concert I saw here in the US was Paul Galbraith at...
Hello Steve, Thank you for the positive comment on the article. The "learning" section was based on my own experience and that of a few people to whom I have...
Does any of you have the recording of Maurice Ohana by Stephan Schmidt? I have the CD but the last 2 tracks are not working at all, and I am learning Cadran...
