Here's hoping all of you have a wonderful Holiday Season and a most excellent New Year in 2009. I think we should declare 2010 the Year of the 10-String!!! ...
Hello Stephen and James Perhaps a Noble thought ,,, and you're ready for it. ,,, But is the ten string guitar ready for it?? The modern ten stringer as we know...
Hello Fred, In most cases, the 10s tuned in E, with the basses in baroque/ romantic tuning has a better treble than a standard 6s. The reason is that the...
Happy new year to everybody... may we have a great 2009!!! This is the new Bartolex http://es.nine.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi/13244939 You can also watch some...
What an interesting guitar at a very sharp price. That heel design, though. The corner of the sound box would bother me, personally. I prefer a wider but...
Hello James! You seem to put much importance on treble strings that can equal the bass strings in sustain. But I've never found the drop off in sustain in the...
Hi Mischa: I can't wait to see your new videos! The movie domain is handled by Perf at: <http://www.youtube.com/group/multistring> Please do post a video where...
Thanks, Stephen, I'd be honored to post a few chord inversions. The tuning accuracy of Amalia is anything but subtle, and I am certain that others "feel" music...
Hiya I am now the proud owner of a spruce-topped Bartolex 10 string, and very happy too. However, there is some wierd re-entrant stringing(on the 7th and 8th ...
Hey Mike, Welcome to the "..wonderful mess" (q. Narciso Yepes) You need what is labeled the "Romantic tuning" set. LaBella and Hannabach offer those sets....
Perf's suggestion is right on. They sell 10-string sets for "Romantic tuning" = 10-7 ABCD. Alternatively you could use a regular 6-string set that you like...
Many thanks. Great tips - and easier than I expected. Thanks also to Glen. Mike ... Hannabach ... further by ... contra E. ... string sets ... Behalf ... ...
How do you like them Savarez, John? The first one I've used already snapped at the loose winding part, just as I suspected it to. Tit did take a few months...
Mischa, When you say a "contra A", i.e., A', is beyond a Torres guitar, I assume you mean a fairly small bodied guitar? Most 10s's have a body size, not...
I'm on my second unraveling C string but it's unraveling at the tuner end, between the nut and the tuner. The first one wasn't long enough and I spliced it....
Hello Mike, You will likely find a 10s in E somewhat on the "muddy" side for playing 10c renaissance lute repertoire, particularly the livelier pieces, though...
Perf (and anybody else interested) The results of my reverb on that recent video struck me as a bit too reverby. I had just picked a preset ... I believe it...
James Thanks again for the recommendation. On inquiry, the following has been recommended to me in order to achieve what you suggest. I would just like to...
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/10string/message/5657 Here is an old post which has a chart of various string tensions to compare. I don't know if you...
Mike, If the information came from Hannabach, it would be safe, otherwise, you are right to be cautious. It may be okay, but I need to do some careful work...
Mike, Just walking away from the computer when I realised I had given the price of a MT 6s set as £12, it should £26 for a standard MT 10s set. James. ... ...
Got that, James. I noted from the www.juststrings.com site anyway. What do you think of the recommendation I was given below? Glen pointed me to an old...
The only way to cover that much range involves electronics, something we classical guys don't want to hear. I love acoustic instruments but I, like some...
