It's a nice record, but the changing of the tempi doesn't match to the time of J.S.Bach. Popov plays it like he feel the music. That doesn't smaller the record,
@11Kralle No, that's an 6 strings guitar even it could possibly be an 12 strings guitar (if you'll put 6 more strings). Konstantine Popov has developed the way to play the J.S.Bach's "Well Tempered Clavichord" in the original keys on the 6 strings guitar using the "five fingers" technique. As you can see he uses his pollex too to play on frets.
Yes, you are right about that. It seems to me, that this is to be called a (potential) 6-choir-guitar - because of the dualstringed-choires, whose to be tuned in octaves/primes. I envy Konstantin Popovs abilities a little - but practise remains practise. I have transposed a lot of Bachs pieces in order to play them from tabulature by reading, lazy as i am...
@11Kralle Konstantin was born in 1958 and was playing guitar since 10 yo. Graduated music college in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and then graduated music conservatory in Lvov, Ukraine. His diploma research was "Five fingers technique(FFT) and using FFT to play clavichord Bach's music on a 6 strings guitar". So he is extremely experienced professional classical musician and i don't dare to imagine i could play tenth worth. It's like to envy Hendrix. :) Cheers!)
Nevertheless, I hope Konstantin has a good life and can stick to his music as long as possible. I know a lot of great russian musicians who starve without playing on foreign streets. To make profession out of passion is the way of life I would prefer...

What is that kind of guitar like? I wonder why there are 12 mechanics - kind of resonant strings anywhere?
