My Romeo di Georgio guitar with new Maestrale Dogal strings http://www.alansondheim.org/digiorgio1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/bluegray.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/bluegrey.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/digiorgio2.jpg These were suggested by Rachel Rosenkrantz; the trebles are grey-blue. I'm using classical low-tension strings tuned to B, a fourth lower than standard tuning. Two short improvisations. I love the sound of the instrument; I think it would take a recording studio to bring it out fully. (The guitar is from 1949, when the di Georgios were hand-made and signed.)
