11 string guitar

I'd consider fretless instruments to be 'extended range' anyway, due to all the micro-tones that can't be easily accessed on a normal guitar.

Hahahaha, that's a great way of seeing things, I have to agree with you.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but...
I have been away from this forum for awhile (crazy busy new job), but I picked up a Glissentar for a pretty good price and have had the fortune to jam with a great tabla player. [The Glissentar is supposed to try and emulate the Oud.]

I have putzed around with different tunings, and will likely try others, but because the tabla he was using initially was tuned to "D" I settled on
D-A-D-F#-A-D. Initially I also played a bit with D-A-D-F#-B-D, but didn't like the setup.

I play it clean through a tiny amp. I have a Roland Micro cube, and have played it also through an older Roland 10W amp and the Vox equivalent to the Micro Cube. Not to mention running it through a preamp directly and into the tabla player's computer/speaker system.

I am still learning, and am reading all kinds of books on Arabic and Indian music, but the potential is pretty great. I will post some samples of what we have done if I can figure out how, but everything is just straight up improv.

I am waiting to hear the recordings from the last session where there was another fretless guitarist playing along (we never met before that day). There were some uncertain moments, and some great ones too.

Anyone else here play one?
