S.L. WEISS ON 11 STRINGS
Purchase CD

"Silvius Leopold Weiss (1685-1750) was one of the greatest musicians of his day. His music in modern times remains relatively unknown because his instrument, the baroque lute, became largely extinct by 1760. I have recorded this on an 11 string classical guitar tuned exactly as an 11 course baroque lute. All the nuances of the composer's intentions have been preserved."

The 11 string guitar was designed in 2002 by Terry Schumacher and built by Kenny Hill.
