Hi Friends: Today, I just heard from an old acquaintance of mine, a fine classical guitarist who now lives in Hawaii, Vance Koenig, who I knew in Anchorage...
Hi, i am very interested in ten string guitar. I have listened many recording on the web (audio or video) and for me there is a lack of fundamental on the bass...
You can make the bass strings longer by adding extensions on that side only. In the photos section there is a picture of a Hauser 10-string with extensions....
Hi, Werner: Just out of curiosity, would you listen to my composition on file with this group and tell me whether or not you hear the fundamental on the low ...
Hi, again, Weber: Better yet, I've asked Stephen to post my current re-recording of my arrangement of "Greensleeves," since I use the low "B" as a point of...
Welcome to the group! ... Yes and no. For me, even on a 650mm 10-string, it is much harder to get good trebles than it is to get good basses. Out of several...
Thank you for your answers.It's very hard without using fan fret to have a balanced instrument. I listened Mornig raga i didn't feel the bass, sorry Misha. If...
Hi Werner: What part of the world are you living in? You might be best served by playing on an actual 10-string, and we may well have a member in your area....

Hey Guys, If the low bass strings sound muddy, I suggest instead of building a head extention why donot you simply add another bridge for the low bass strings...
The main problem with that is that you'll be playing on a different portion of the string and they'll be a sudden change in timbre when you go to those ...
... length? ... I wanted to add a couple of thoughts. First, one should keep in mind that those low notes are not always reproduced well in recordings unless...
... And thank you, but how do you feel about the "Greensleeves" low "B?" Admittedly, I was using the low "B" as mere light "drone color" in the Raga, it was...
Hello Steve, I agree with your analysis of string response. "Thin" strings are modelleled in physics as purely flexible items, i.e., they have no resistance to...
Hi James: Thanks for your nice post. I have one question I'm wishing you would directly address (and this goes also for Steve): does the length of the string...
I often wonder whether Mr. Novak had prior knowledge of the diagonally spaced frets before he made his designs? Or is it that he patented the math behind his ...
Hi James, It is nice to hear from you. If thin flexible strings are modelled by second order, and thick strings by fourth order partial differential ...
I got sidetracked with the purchase of the ten-string, probably permanently. I've fallen in love with the string spacing and the nylon strings. Never tell...
A few responses: James, I also appreciate your very lucid comments on this subject! Marion, I enjoyed your comment very much. LOL Stephen, You ask a very...
Hi, James: Wow, I'm really impressed with the analysis of strings that you have launched, I would be interested to know if there is a reasonably accessible...
... Yepes hated this, and showed me how to take braided fishing line, string it through the machine rollers, and then braid this to the ends of the bass...
... I had some college physics 20 years ago, but I do not remember the chapter on string theory. But on a classical guitar not all of the energy of the string...
... It is not who comes up with the idea first, but who files the patent. If you read the history of harp guitar patents, you will see that some of the...

I use a .008 and it doesn't break. My scale length is standard something between 25" and 26". I don't slide too much but it didn't break for now. ... .008 ... ...
What brand? I'm anxious to go out and get one. I've tried all forms of D'Addarios which are my favorite but I've also tried standard Ernie Ball's. _____ ...
