This guitar is the result of years of research both for the acoustic performance and for the exceptional aesthetic characteristics. The soundboard is paint in the same process used for stringed instrument soundboards, to make the wood appear aged in appearance but simultaneously with a sparkling brilliance. This is a method I also use for my vintage instrument replicas.
At the end of this procedure, the wood surface is clean and free of chemical residues that could cause damage.

String lenght: 650mm

The eight-string guitar allows for a wider tonal range or non-standard tunings (such as major thirds tuning), or both.
8-string guitars were used in the 19th century by Luigi Legnani and Giulio Regondi but this type of guitar is very popular in Latin America where many pieces of popular derivation are played with this type of guitar.
Famous guitar players and composers use 8-string guitars for greater octave range, open tunings, and a richer tonal range.

11 Strings - 1992
Year: 1992
Soundboard: Italian Spruce
Back and Sides: Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia)
String lenght: 65cm.
Varnish: Polyurethane
11 string guitar, in G tuning.
It allows you to play ancient music without having to make transcriptions by changing key and fingering. The first high string is in G (a third up) rather than in E.
From the sharpest:
G-D-A-F-C-G-F-Eb-D-C-B
While with the 10 strings the tuning would be:
MI-SI-SOL-RE-LA-MI-RE-DO-SI-LA
If desired, the 11-string could also be used as a 10-string...
