Eleven-string Guitar
The eleven-string alto guitar (also known as altgitarr, archguitar, or Bolin guitar) is an extended-range classical guitar developed by Swedish luthier Georg Bolin in the 1960s. Original Bolin instruments are now rare and valuable. The Bolin alto guitar most often has eleven strings, but Bolin also made a thirteen-string version. The 11-string alto guitar is a '' multi-string classical guitar'', which generally refers to classical guitars with more than six strings. Classical guitars with extra strings can have from seven to 13 or more strings. However, an 11-string is the most useful for performing lute music, particularly Bach and Weiss. The first six strings are tuned in the same intervals as the normal classic guitar. Therefore, a musician can play with conventional fingering on those strings. In the United States, luthier Walter Stanul makes performance instruments ranging from 11 to 13-strings called thArchguitar The design and the body shape of this guitar is simil ...

Minor-thirds Tuning
Among alternative guitar-tunings, regular tunings have equal musical intervals between the paired notes of their successive open strings. ''Guitar tunings'' assign pitches to the open strings of guitars. Tunings can be described by the particular pitches that are denoted by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest to highest. The ''standard tuning'' defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E. Between the open-strings of the standard tuning are three perfect-fourths (E–A, A–D, D–G), then the major third G–B, and the fourth perfect-fourth B–E. In contrast, regular tunings have constant intervals between their successive open-strings: * 3 semitones (minor third): Minor-thirds, or ''Diminished'' tuning * 4 semitones (major third): Major-thirds or ''Augmented'' tuning, * 5 semitones (perfect fourth): All-fourths tuning, * 6 semitones ( augmented fourth, tritone, or diminished fifth): Augmented-fourths tunin ...

Extended-range Classical Guitar
A classical guitar with additional strings is a nylon-string or gut-string classical guitar with more than six strings, in which the additional strings pass over a fingerboard so that they may be "stopped" or fretted with the fingers. These are also known as extended-range guitars, and should not be confused with harp guitars (in which the added strings do ''not'' pass over a fingerboard). Seven-string While the invention of the seven-string guitar has sometimes been attributed to Russian guitarist and composer Andrei Sychra, guitar historian Matanya Ophee has found evidence that seven-string classical guitars may have already existed in Europe in the late 18th century, when Sychra was just beginning his career. There is no question, however, that Sychra was a great proponent of the seven-string instrument, having written a method, and more than one thousand compositions for the instrument. Seventy-five of these pieces were republished in the 1840s by Stellovsky, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
