Hi, For those who were interested, I've uploaded some pictures of my friends' two Chavarry 10 strings in the "starbuck" folder. Also a picture of the wood...
I received the high a string from Strings by Mail a week ago. Thanks, Scott. So far I've only tuned in up to g. It's settling in and holding it's tuning well....
Hi John, I have some questions regarding the high A string you got. Is the string designed for 650mm Guitars? How does it sound compared to the other trebles?...
Yes. My scale length is 650. It's just slightly brighter than my Hannabach 827 Flamenco golds. The volume is less than the 1st string e but that's really to...
Now....Soon the next step will be to take it up to a 'g#' and see if it holds its pitch okay. If it does, then one could fan fret for about 52CM instead of...
That would actually make a workable fan fret. Since Scott at stringsbymail tells me his has been sitting at a for a matter of weeks, I'll probably just tune it...
"Beautiful hand made 8-string guitar from Amsterdam, Holland, signed by the luthier. This guitar was part of guitarist Justin King's collection, and was bought...
As far as I'm concerned, we have a winner. The string has been at a=440 for about three days now and was only slightly flat this morning. It's settling in...
Hello John, Phew...busy week. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. Glad to hear that the string is working out! My initial concerns were that it would...
Hello, I noticed in the files section Yepes' transcription of the Boree from Weiss' Suite II. Does anyone know whether the other movements are available...

The nice thing about having books digitized for internet viewing is that complete references to the 10-string are often available without having to buy the...
It's still in tact and at exactly the right tension. It sounds great. It needs about a sixteenth of a turn tweak a day but that's no big deal. The other...
UK multi-string guitarist Paul Garthwaite, who was the second person to join our Yahoo Group, penned this artilce for Music Maker magazine -- featuring his new...
Hi John, I lost the string where this discussion started, could you review exactly how you are using the high a string and on what guitar? I've thought about...
For years I, and apparently several others, have been attempting to add an a4 (440 hz) string to the top of a 650mm multistring guitar above the "standard 6."...
Hi Larry, I reread your email and see that you are already familiar with the Brahms guitar. Sorry I read too fast the first time through. Using this string...
Personally, I like this version of the 996 Prelude (ditto for his lute and guitar LPs of same). Too many people seems to take the "Passagio" as a high-speed...
"Very rare find on the auction block comes this 10 string spanish cedar guitar neck made from choice cedarala mexicana as supplied by Hibdon wood company. Very...
I agree about the speed issue. Too many performances of this music tend to be played so fast that they lean toward being a bit sloppy. I'm not sure what the...
I'm pretty sure the luthier who is selling the neck is Darren Hippner. Is the guitarist who ordered it a member here??? Btw. Paul Sheridan wrote me today that...
... I would go beyond that: in our era of microwave-popcorn, hi-speed Internet, and general hurry-hurry-hurry, the goal of much music playing (regardless of...
Hi all, Ran across this when visiting the http://www.slweiss.com site. Michel Cardin has added his insights and analysis of the Weiss London mss. These are 1....
I'm pretty sure the luthier who is selling the neck is Darren Hippner. Is the guitarist who ordered it a member here??? Yup, that's Darren alright. I'm not...
This has bothered me for a while but since I'm just an old hack, I never brought it up. This happens in every genre of guitar playing. In country flatpicking,...
I just got two Goran Sollscher cds the other day, one Bach and another baroque, and another by Anders Miolin playing Eric Satie. All of these were on the...
