Classical guitar 10 string guitar introduced

At present, the production and guitar playing community, in addition to six-string guitar, there are some special guitar, the more typical 8 string guitar and 10 string guitar (Russia is a 7 string guitar). Nociso Yepes famous guitarist for a long period of time in a 10-string guitar, so often misunderstood is his 10-string guitar invented. In fact, early in the 19th century, including 10 string guitar strings guitar has more, including many (but not the mainstream), not to mention the multi-stringed plucked instrument earlier had. These multi-string guitar is still not be accepted by the vast musician who, this is a very interesting question. This 10-string guitars do not intend to discuss the origins and development process, only introduced some 10 string guitar and production on the characteristics of the advantages and disadvantages.
10 string guitar greatest advantage is to expand the range of the guitar, the most prominent advantage than playing Baroque music in particular, some of the original lute music. However, 10 string guitar fingerboard wide, flat neck had produced, and therefore feel better than playing six-string guitar. An increase of four additional strings, the volume is increased, when playing mono sound also seems to better listening, but in actual play, because of four additional strings sound very difficult to eliminate resonance issued, some appear to merit features had become a disadvantage. Although the piano than any acoustic guitar has more resonance, but the piano has a very scientific internal mechanical structure so that players can very easily control the resonance, the guitar player has to rely on the hand to control the (censored), which in the actual performance is almost impossible. Therefore, most of the performers appear, 10 string guitar sound lacks clarity and difficult to master, perhaps ten string guitar the main reason it can not be widely promoted.
10-string guitar in the production side there are many problems, a lot of good guitar master in the production of 10-string guitar strings respect the lack of experience and powerless, but because they make the standard guitar has a very high reputation, it is often mistaken for They can make any guitar, but is not the case. Following is a German guitar master, Mr. Stenzel 10 string guitar made some points for the 10 string guitar are interested in my reference:
Any start playing 10 string guitar people have to accept the extra sound control problems. This is to address the six string guitar does not have problems. To stop unwanted resonance. The resonance generated from the additional strings to make homes into a contradiction, in my opinion 10 string bass guitar is more prominent question: If the guitar sounds too extended, then the player must play a much more than busy with silencers. If the sound is not extended, then the acoustic guitar's sound will become too stiff. Natural development of the TreadTang capacity of the lack of sound, when playing chords, sounds like the same dull mono. For the guitar family, the challenge is to find a balance between the two extremes.
In my careful observation over the past 15 end of the year hundreds of guitars, only a small amount of 10 string bass guitar. One really good even less. I used to get my workshop in observing and measuring each of the guitar. In comparing a number of different 10 string guitar, I soon learned that 10-string guitars in the prevalent system of those problems. Since only a very small effective energy-driven guitar sound (compared to the violin bow to exert its sustained energy). Guitar static structural stability (static stability) is limited. This increase in the four additional string after the more serious the structure resulting in a fragile tension of the strings increase much as 60%, this seems to upset many producers, so they follow their imagination that can balance these Additional ways to increase the tension panel thickness, panel thickness and the imaginary guitar direct relationship between the static stability. In fact, the role of the piano body moment of inertia (the moment of inertia relevant) only related to the (panel) thickness of 1 / 3. In short, each additional 1 / 10 mm thickness will be in large part to enhance the stability of this static. (They) the consequences of this misunderstanding is that many 10-string guitar panel are excessively reinforced. In fact, the production of these sensitive families are making in finding a correct balance between the soundboard on the subject of the challenge is more than a "normal" just a little guitar.
