The sound, both acoustically and recorded, is wonderful. I personally
am endorsing Bartolex 10-string guitars, because I have already
played several dozen gigs this year on my own Bartolex
guitar, and I'm continually astounded at how good these guitars
are. I became the USA dealer to help get the word out on these
great guitars. This guitar is the answer to my personal dream
of having a quality 10-string guitar in standard production,
at an affordable price -- and maybe it will be for you as well.
I have played and owned many multi-string classical guitars,
and this instrument rivals, equals or surpasses many hand-made
guitars currently selling in the 3k - 6k range. This guitar has
a AAA-grade solid spruce top, solid East Indian Rosewood back
& Sides, ebony fretboard, and creates a beautifully-balanced
sound with rounded trebles, deep basses, and excellent resonance
and sympathetic sustain.
I have the guitar tuned in Romantic/Baroque tuning,
a standard 10-string tuning: 1-6 is normal, and 7-10 descend
step-wise: 7=D, 8=C, 9=B, 10 =A. Strings By Mail
has a great selection of 10-string sets and can put together
custom sets for you at a discount over individual strings.

SOUNDFILES
Here are several quick, 1-take MP3s of this guitar, tracked
using a variety of mics (Wunder Audio CM7GT
tube mics, Oliver
Archut's C12VRX, and BLUE
Woodpecker ribbon mic) into a Presonus
ADL 600 preamp with a Rosetta 200 A/D converter.
This is straight, pure signal with no additional EQ or effects.
This guitar is very easy to record, and would make an excellent
classical 10-string guitar for a CD, or for recording nylon-string
guitar tracks in any musical style:

Rowallen Lute Book, 1596-1657)

In short, this guitar is a great concert and/or recording guitar
for any intermediate to advanced-level player, and it would make
a great guitar for concerts, recitals, local gigs, as well as
recording studio projects. It is also the ideal guitar for first
getting into the world of Multi-String guitars, as it is relatively
affordable, easy-to-play, and a great-sounding instrument.
