Thanks! The alto guitar is tuned a minor third above the 6-string classical guitar, like a renaissance lute. The lower bass strings are in a rather narrow tuning in this piece, ranging only to a low C on the 11th string.
why is the title called skål khayyam? thats means cheers khayyam. for those of u who dont know who khayyam was: khayyam was one of the greatest poets, mathematichian, philosopher, and astronomer of his time..he was persian by the way
My alto guitar is not a Bohlin-guitar but I think the only alto guitar made by Yoshimitsu Hoshino in 1984. Wonderful instrument, and much more dynamic than many of the Bohlin instruments. Stefan
Mr.Hoshino made only one alto-guitar in 1984. In the lists of Hoshino guitar users, Mr.Goran Sollscher might be the first user. Did you get it from Mr. Sollscher? It has clear nice sound like my alto-guitar made by Mr. Hoshino in 1989.
I guess Mr.Hoshino made 3-5 alto-guitar in 1984 and he sent the best one to Mr. Sollscher and the remnants were sold to general players in 1985. Thus, you have the best one!
I am an amateur. So, my alto-guitar is like pearl before swine. But, I would like to upload my video on YouTube in the future.
Thanks! It's a great piece (and remarkable instrument too) in my opinion. This composer also wrote a piece for me some years ago for this 11-stringed alto guitar and flute orchestra! Was premiered in Paris with the Ensemble Orchestrale de flutes francais./Stefan
I'd like to hear more of your stuff if possible. I was turned onto your stuff by Jonas Bryssling of Swedish death metallers Spawn Of Possession, a really remarkable band indeed. Check them out if you wish.
Å jag trodde du kände honom, fick det intrycket när han gav mig plattan. Michael rehder heter han. Trevlig snubbe och själv gitarrist. Han verkade gilla din CD för övrigt.
Great performance Stefan, and thanks for sharing your videos.

Hi!
You've hit the nail on the head, I bought it from Göran many years ago. So you play the alto guitar as well? Stefan
