Hello Jouni, Very fine playing, and recording! Congratulations! Noting that Manjon played an 11s guitar, have you tried re- constructing from the published 6s...
Hello Moh, I think we are all impressed with your initiative to put a ms together in this way, and I for one, will be very interested in the pictures of how...
Thanks James, As far as I know Manjon tuned the extra basses from 7th to 11th B1-G- D-F-C, so there were two re-entrant basses. My string setup goes for A1,...
In the publication I have of his compositions, there is a facsimile of one with handwritten basses. However, the use of the basses seemed rather modest, and I...
I used the same publication. The handwritten basses were a bit mystery, the preface does not say anything about their originality. But I just got a another...
Hello Fred, My current thinking is that one has to split the guitar into two parts to get an octave with a plausible bass range. Because of the very limited...
Fred and James, The non-trivial part, of course is getting the two boxes close enough together to have the bridges be contiguous but still have the bridges...
This may be a completely ignorant observation, but why not just take a "standard" 6 string body shape (which has adequate vibrating area on the top), cut it in...
By the way, on page 18 of "Lute News" no. 84 for December 2007 is a version of lute called the Harp Ventura. If you look closely, you'll see 2 additional...
Hello James! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by splitting the guitar into two parts! Are you saying the guitar isn't wide enough for such a low bass range? ...
Hello Jeffrey! My apoligies to John,,,but it was you who said,,, ... the ... comfortable. ... Are you talking about splitting a soundbox down the middle,,,top...
Actually, you got my middle name the first time, so no harm done. Actually, my thoughts on widening the soundbox was geared toward *new* construction. No...
No. I was actually talking about only two sections. If you could take this http://tinyurl.com/2aglsq (6th row, 2nd and 3rd column) and put the two pieces...
Hello John! Okay! ... I see what you're talking about. That might work! Not something I would do. But if it works for you. The thing is,,,, The traditional...
In studying thru this dissertation,,,He pretty much says what most any of us have studied or said at one time or another. Except of course he says it in...
Hello Jouni, Many thanks for this, I will order a copy. My apologies for a belayed response, but family commitments intervened, ..., "Mother's Day". James....
John, Jeffrey, Fred, I like Jefrey's idea of using a split top/bottom, but have not done enough conceptualising to see how to organise the sound boxes and ...
Does anybody know the tuning of James Kline's 11-string guitar? I probably could find out if I Googled enough, but I thought this might be easier. I was...
"On the guitar part I have the 6 strings tuned like a guitar. I used to have them tuned up a half step, but since I play with other musicians a lot now, I have...

So, if I'm reading that right 1-6 = normal tuning 7-11 = B D A f# g? I wasn't aware he used re-entrant strings. Also, he says the lowest string is a hard...
