Marina Krupkina: Presenting the Decacorde
Hello everybody, I am so pleased to have the wonderful Marina Krupkina aka Marina's Decacorde back for a livestream presenting this fantastic instrument of her's, the ten string guitar or the Decacorde! After her inspiring interactive session about the Ten Progressive Studies by Nikita Koshkin, we're having her finally to talk about the instrument of her choosing!
These are the topics we are going to talk about:
- Brief history of decacorde
- Most common decacorde tunings
- Several approaches to decacorde playing
- Is it easy to start playing decacorde after playing classical guitar?
Marina Krupkina, aka Marina’s Decacorde, one of the world-known decacorde players, will introduce us into the world of the ten-string guitar. We are going to explore the history of the decacorde, dive into the most common tunings for that instrument and get to know several approaches to play the decacorde. Is the technique similar to the classical guitar and what new repertoire options are available for that instrument? Let us find in this livestream with Marina Krupkina!
We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions and questions!
- What questions do you have on this topic?
- Any particular area you would like me to focus on?
Forum questions will be answered first!

I have a question for Marina about the process she goes through to transcribe classical pieces like the Chopin nocturne she recently posted on her youtube channel. Does she do transcriptions by ear at first or start with the original piano score and use notation software?
Also, does she know other musicians who play a Decacorde? Since she is posting sheet music for the Decacorde on Patreon there must be other players looking for music.
Thank you for doing this!
