Triple Courses, part 6
I've been using the 30-string Double Contraguitar set up with six triple courses since 2023. Since then, I've used it in over 30 recording sessions. It's become one of my most-utilized instruments. In fact, in a recording session in late July 2026, I forced myself not to use it, as I'd been using it so frequently and coming to rely upon it in recording sessions. Example: my solo album Codex IV only uses the 30-string Double Contraguitar and the 30-string Contra-Baritone guitar on the entire record. When I first conceived of a 12-course instrument having six triple courses and six double courses, I didn't entirely know what to expect in terms of how much I'd utilize it. I have the 15-string baritone, conceived as a test platform. It has three triple courses, and I like it very much, and had gotten to know it and used it on a couple of studio dates prior to the creation of the 30-string. However, there wasn't really a precedent for a 30-string ...
