what's that instrument?

great job!

[JMichaelThames]

Thanks! The instrument is called a Dresden, I designed it and made it, after I gave up the baroque lute. It has thirteen strings tuned in D minor, same as a baroque lute. You could also tune it in regular guitar tuning.

You can see it on my website under thirteen string guitar.  thamesclassicalguitars(dot)com

It's funny that people don't know who you are when they watch your videos... They compliment you on your playing, but they have no idea that you are a master luthier. I currently own one of your guitars. Thank you for changing my classical career. :)
