Hi everyone, I've really enjoyed the discussions from this group. I had the opportunity to borrow a 10-string guitar for a recording session with my trio this ...
Hi David, Beautiful track! Do let us know when the CD comes out. Warm Regards, PERFECTO DE CASTRO 10 String Guitarist Website: <http://www.perfdecastro.com/>...

Hello, Welcome to my new webpages at http://web.me.com/jouni.stenroos/ So far there isn't much, but I will continue to expand the score and media sections. I...
I have the cedar top (all solid wood-MRS-10) model of the Bartolex 10 string and after trying my guitar Len quickly picked up a spruce version for himself. ...
Donn, If the Orphee Terz set's 1st string seems a little too thin to you, try ordering the Savarez KF 47 as a replacement. It is louder and projects more. By...
Glen, I am in fact using the Savarez KF47 as string #1 as you recommended. It is very bright but at the same time the melodic lines are very clear with this...
Glen and Donn, Glen, I think you are correct, tuning a typical 10s in G(or F#) does mean that you are working on a different part of the frequency response...
Hi, Donn. Thanks for your comment. It's interesting yesterday I was in a party, and I was sharing the table during the dinner with 3 Masters in the art of...
Donn! You no dought have seen the advantages of tuning higher than standard six string tuning. Have you given much thought to tuning for a 'c' note. I see...
Another observation about those Terz strings ... Tuning the 3rd string down a half-step the string sounds very good, and I believe they intended for you to...
There are some pieces that I play that don't use all 10 or 11 strings (depending on what guitar I'm using). The piece I am working on today only uses 8...
Hello Glen, My impression from watching Yepes live in the early '80's, was that, on occasion, he would use what appeared to be a white plastic comb over the...
James, Very interesting about the Yepes white plastic comb. Regarding these felt pads, I may not have made it clear in my previous post but I have three...
Glen, I did get the concept. If it was not so simple, it would be worthwhile patenting it, as it is clearly an effective system. That gigue is a delightful...
I just wanted to mention that after reading in Koonce's 2nd Edition Bach Lute Works book that Eduardo Fernandez recommends that BWV 996 be played with 3-f#, I...
I believe the "white comb" may have been a Gendai Guitar "mute-kun" or similar, a notched piece of white rubber that damps the strings from above (you can see...
Very informative post, Brice. Thank you. I had wondered if having the damp touching the soundboard would detract from the sound. It's very small, so I am...
Glen, your right, I really doubt the difference would be noticeable, but among other stringed instruments it is most common to use a comb like device above so...
Hello, I thought I should give a brief introduction. My name is Brice and couple months ago I bought an "extended 7-string" guitar built by Greg Byers...
Brice, I copied and pasted those links to my browser, so they did work. I like the idea of checking out violin suppliers for that comb. In fact, my niece...
Jouni mentioned using a piece of foam to dampen the extra strings as well. I thought I saw a pic of him using it, though I can't recall exactly where. Perhaps...
I saw this post on RMCG and thought I'd pass it on. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.music.classical.guitar/browse_thread/ thread/bc5214726d57a728#...
