Marina Krupkina and her Decacorde
Marina Krupkina, the amazing guitarist who performs the Nikita Koshkin etudes for the tonebase community challenge, is known for recordings/videos on her 10-string guitar, or Decacorde. I would love to learn more about this, the challenges and advantages of playing it, and why she chose this unique instrument.

Fantastic topic!!!

planned and in the making for November 15th! More infos soon!

Martin Oh yes! Amazing!
I still can't decide how to tune mine...
-
Roni Glaser A perfect question for her on November 15th!
-
Martin Fantastic, yes, there seem to be a lot of different ways of tuning the four extra strings, none of which I find particularly satisfactory :(
In fourths seems natural, and needs a re-entry string, which separates the instrument into two parts; the way Yepes did it just for extra resonance seems to waste the fact you've got four extra strings that you could do so much with...
I think I might end up shifting all the strings down one peg and trying to find a higher string like an A to add to it, but I think that'll only end up confusing me completely.

Roni Glaser I once had 7-String guitar in my hand and was absolutely confused, I cannot even begin to comprehend the change when performing on a 10-string!
