Video link on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2011/08/01/dnt.guitar.wtvw May be a little overkill, but it sounds amazing. |

Yeah it seems a little impractical, but you're right it does sound excellent. |

I live in a suburb of Seattle.. have almost all of my life except for the time I spent in the Air Force... I haven't watched this video yet (I'm at work.. will try to watch later). Harp Guitars have existed since the 1800's (if that's what this is) http://images.google.com/search?hl=en&s ... l2-1.2l3l0 They aren't exactly 'mainstream' for obvious reasons... |

Finally got a chance to watch the video. As cool and awesome as that work is, he no more invented that guitar than BMW invented the car. Harp guitars (guitars with multiple courses of multiple strings) have been around for over a hundred years. While I can't say for certain someone besides him created one with exactly 27 strings, many very similar instruments have been made. http://www.harpguitars.net/ Here is a video of Alex DeGrassi playing this 39 sting beauty.  |

Two handed harp guitar was invented long time ago... it's called a guzheng
