There is a new site for authentic information about the modern 10- string guitar as invented and envisioned by Narciso Yepes: www.tenstringguitar.INFO Viktor...
Hi Viktor: Sorry that you are leaving, but many thanks for your wonderful new website!!! I'm glad that you have created this, and I'll link to it from many...
I did several quick MP3 tracks of the Maingard today. Please ignore the mistakes, I just tried to document how the guitar sounds. The tracks have no EQ, no...

Hi All, Ive read where its been said that some say that the 10 string Bernabe is considered the best. Yet when I hear the sound on You Tube of Janet Marlow...
Bernabe was the best luthier at Ramirez, and a lot of pro players (like Yepes) followed him when he left Ramirez. The sound of any recording has more to do...
... Fascinating site! A pity it's so high-bandwidth, not everyone has broadband. Maybe they think their customers do. What they seem to have done is to develop...
I'm selling my 2005 Bernabe 10-String: <http://www.cathedralguitar.com/Bernabe.html> It has upgraded Alessi tuners and an upgraded Ameritage custom case. ...
Thanks, Glen: You have successfully bargained me down $5, and I do accept your lowball offer of $14,995. I'll hand deliver it to your house tomorrow morning! ...
After losing my fourth - rather expensive - Savarez low G in as many months (and I know Perf commented on this as well) I was wondering if anyone had any...
Hey John! Now you got me worried! I'm using a Savarez low E at about 67cm on my own 10 stringer. Now I'm wondering if it will eventually start doing the same...
Hey John! It's ironic ,,, I got home ,,, checked my E-mails ,,, replied to your E-mail. Then I looked up at the wall where my 10 stringer hangs. Lo and behold...
Is that an octave below the 6th string. ... From: 10string@yahoogroups.com [mailto:10string@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of fernsemer Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009...
Yup! ,,, sure is! Big fat string! It tunes to the low E one octave below the 6th string of the 6 stringer at 65cm. It does the job alright ,,, But I'm more...
My trouble with the quest for the high a - which I've dropped - is that it was hard to find things to use it on. Even pieces written by Tarrega who loved to...
Hey John! I've always puzzled over why you couldn't get a high 'a' string at 65cm. I've never had a problem going that high. In fact ,,, I was able to go as...
John, High A's, i.e., a', are feasible if you go to a shorter scale, anything between 57 and 61 will do. I note that the majority of quality Spanish requintos...
I did get a midpriced requinto lately from Ebay and it's not bad. Only 6 strings, though. I'm using a Mexican string set that tunes in G at 57 cm. It's not...
Hello John! When you say ,,, is the idea of the added string, that is, shifting everything one string towards the bass are you talking about something like...
I thought you left to create you own website and discussion list? :-) In my opinion, the only "truth" we have learned is that Yepes is but one perspective and...
Yes. I'd rather be playing than experimenting right now but that could change. _____ From: 10string@yahoogroups.com [mailto:10string@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Hi Viktor: Your argument with Andrew / Janet / Wikipedia is Off-Topic here. You have clearly made your point, and I think is time to move on. If you want to...
John and Fred, I think I mentioned a while back that I had ordered a number of Saverez strings including a set of low Saverez basses, but of the bass strings,...
Hello James! I'm down to just one low 'E' string. I'm presently detuning it and the 9th string about two turns whenever I'm not playing the guitar. Hopefully...
Hello Fred, I agree with putting the treble, i.e., the first six at the same scale, but for the pitches you like, you will need a short scale. anything from 48...
Hey Fred, in order to do those bars on the fan fretted 1st through 4th frets, you have to have the neck at about a 45 degree angle from the floor. ... From:...
