  • What an amazing reverberation from an accoustic instrument. Sounds like you are in an echo chamber. May I ask if you are using nylon or gut strings? I am considering a Stevens gittern, and would be interested to know the difference. Thanks.

  • @warspitewiseman that would be because reverb was added during recording

    This instrument is strung with nylgut

  • Ah. How naive of me :o) Anyway, I have gone ahead and ordered one anyway, and George Stevens strings them with Nylgut by default is seems. Thanks for your helpful response. Ray

  • @warspitewiseman Hi Ray - good choice! did you go for a long scale with 5 courses?

    its also worth going for 9 frets and a strap button.....

  • Are you a lefty or is that a trick of the camera?

  • yup I am left handed...

see all

  • how did you get your gittern?

  • I have gone for a long scale with 4 double courses, tunded in fifths GDAE. I am a mandoline player, and like the fexibility of fifths tunings, especially as I am playing with a band. And funnily enough, he is adding a strap button. I seem to be on the right hymn sheet :o)

  • Musica medival española. Sencillamente sensacional.

  • Truly Beautifully played a pleasure to watch you.

    i play a guitarra latina and am thinking of making or buying a gittern but I want an earlier one than the C15th your playing, and I'm thinking probably single strung 4 courses.

    What are the strings like - similar to lute? or heavier?

    really lovely to see you play :)
