We use Niibori (what's this?) guitar orchestra instruments, which are tuned half
an octave apart.
The alto, prime, bass and contrabass guitars give the guitar the same standing as the string quartet, the brass band, the recorder
consort, the chest of viols and the saxophone choir. The extended compass and rich tone bring our music alive.
