Hi Ray and everyone,

Thanks for the info on strings.

I Just received my Asturias 11-string from the luthier. It was cracked when I
buoght it
for a very low price. Then I put regular guitar strings on it except that I used
a
Hanabach durable D for the 4th string and a high-tension D for the 5th string.
All the
basses are standard or high-tension low 'E' strings. It is tuned as an 11c
baroque lute
re: A415 FDAFDAGFEDC. I have never seen a 10-string guitar. I play requintos, 6-
string guitar, mandolins, domras and lutes as well as sing, but there is always
more to
learn.

Greetings to all,
Marion
