Oleg is in Kiev, Ukraine on the Fullbright, and he has no internet yet. So he won't be able to offer any insight for now. RT - Original Message - From: "Eugene C.

I got the information about the Russian 10-string guitar from Oleg's Ph.D thesis (page 58). When I was looking around online I could only find information (via MO's site) about 11-string Russian guitars:7+4. Oleg is saying, in his thesis, that Russian guitars with extra basses have the same range as ordinary Russian guitars tuned down a tone. Maybe he has changed his mind. I've never seen music for Russian guitars with extra basses. Stuart [Eugene C. Braig IV] I'm fairly certain Oleg would be happy to discuss such matters. I haven't been very faithful about patrolling it for a while, but when I was there with frequency, Oleg was a semi-regular at this forum (requires registration): http://lists.topica.com/lists/guitar-summit Oleg's own site: http://www.semistrunka.com/ I've handled Oleg's 11-string guitar, but I just cannot remember the maker or details. I believe it to be a product of the later 19th c. It is very much in the style of the ca. 1860 10-string instruments of the Austrian school typified by Scherzer, but sporting a label in Cyrillic characters (of which I have no ken), 11 strings, and a funny tuning (of course, a core of D-G-B-d-g-b-d'). If you do a Google video search for "Oleg Timofeyev", you'll find many examples of him playing it, often in duo. Best, Eugene PS Organologists note: I made up that subject designation. It is word play only and not a proper reference to any instrument type of which I am aware, so please chuckle rather than hassle me for it.
