FOUNDER / COMPOSER / PERFORMER
The multi-string guitars can render the music with extra range tones, many more different ways of tunings, beautiful larger harmonies, richer resonances and bigger pallets of colours. We have the technical possibilities to reach those realms beyond the normal 6 string guitar’s possibilities.
We should not restrict the playing technics by guitar types, but use them all pragmatically.

Angela Kleger
FOUNDER / LUTE AND GUITAR PLAYER
As music became more complex, more and more strings were added to the lute until at the end of the high baroque there where 14 courses. Should we then limit ourselves to six strings on the guitar and hinder what seems to be a natural evolution with growing complexity? We must also take into account the possibility of the materials and techniques that exist nowadays in terms of modern luthery.
The beauty about the guitar is that it is not “a finished” instrument. There is constant evolution. Let’s embrace that fact.
