Prelude XII - Per-Olov Kindgren (10-string)

[regisxr]

What kind of guitar is that, man?

@regisxr

Hi. It's a 10-string classical - tricky to master, but rewarding.

Impression was received in the melody which the heart plays.

wish the song was longer....

[CedricTheSecond]

@MrBonebus

It is over quickly, but then preludes tend to be short. You can always hit the repeat button;)

I want that guitar. How is it tuned? C# F# B E A D G b e a?

[CedricTheSecond]

@The34zyD

Hi

The guitar is tuned ABCDEADGBE so the extra basses descend in tones. Sometimes referred to as Romantic or Baroque tuning.

[The34zyD]

@CedricTheSecond Strange to me, but I'm use to tuning in standard 4ths. So the bass strings are tuned only a whole step from each other?

[CedricTheSecond]

@The34zyD

Hi

Yes, whole tones for this tuning anyway. Narciso Yepes' re-entrant tuning is F#G#A#CEADGBE which completes the sympathetic resonance, but doesn't really work so well for Baroque playing.

Hi Jim,

No! I don't mind! When played so beautifully and sensitive, I am only honored and happy. Thank you! I love the deep basses!

Into my playlist and favorites.

Kindly,
