  • is this an 11 string alto?

  • @PureZOOKS

    James plays an 11 string guitar, usually in the key of D. Not sure what you mean by "alto."

  • @TimHGuitar As far as I know, in classical music the alto guitar existed commonly as an 11 string variant. essentially it is a smaller bodied guitar.

  • @PureZOOKS Well in that respect you can say he plays an "alto" guitar because the body is smaller. This guitar was built in England according to James' specs. He tunes it 1/2 step higher than an regular guitar (presumably because the neck is shorter). The guitar sounds one octave lower than the music is written, so the voice of this guitar (as well as all normally tuned classical guitars) is closer to that of a baritone. The upper notes do go into the alto range.

  • I got a copy of these pieces as well as many others in 1996 from Philip. The whole collection in his own writing. He handed them to me over dinner. Personal notes written through out. Commenting on friends etc... "Bring the back tomorrow" he said trusting me to do so. I did. His originals were stolen many years later. I had an archive from that day. His trusting deed was repaid because I had the only copies in the world and still do. I treasure from an amazing person and composer. God Bless PR!!

  • what a beauty, music and interpretation.

  • it's like he toke the spiritual world thru that beautifull instrument
