Of course, Julian, the Russian tuning is quite different. You'll need a different set of strings to balance tension and tone.

Sychra: 2 quadrilles for seven-string guitar This is indeed lovely. I have a seven-string classical (http://www.sheehans.com/product/martinez-mcg80-7-string-classical-guitar-spruce-top/mcg80s7/) so I may well give these a try. I'm very pleased with this instrument, because at a pinch it helps me learn and practice lute pieces when I can't (or don't want to) take a lute with me... jt On 30 November 2014 at 08:05, Ed Durbrow <[2]edurb...@gmail.com> wrote: Delightful salon music.
