“Kertsopoulos Aesthetics” The How and the Why Part 2: The “Kertsopoulos High-Tuned Strings”

Posted September 28, 2010 at 11:00 am | 2 comments

At 32.5 cm. (usual) string length, the violin tunes its strings an octave higher than the guitar. Antonio de Torres eventually settled on 32.5 X 2 = 65 cm for the guitar’s string length. Modern guitars range from 64 to a 66.6 or even 67 cm string length, but the 65 cm established by Torres is a often used as the standard scale length.

I’m going to start this review with a generalization; I think that a guitarist never thinks his “tone” is good enough unless he feels happy about the gear he is using.
