| Post subject: | How's the 10 String Grand? |
I've got big hands and navigating my 12 String Krappy can be rough without tapping the adjacent strings at times. I've read up a lot on the 10 String Grand and it honestly sounds like the perfect tapper for me. When I look online though I hardly see any information on it. In fact I don't think I've ever even seen a listing for a used one before. Were not many produced? Is the demand for it just really low or was there some flaw in the design I'm unaware of? I'm curious if anyone here has/had one or has had a chance to tinker with one and has any thoughts on it. Oh and if you find yourself contemplating getting rid of yours well.... |

FWIW 10 str railboard is decently close to a 10 grand. that and the keel thumb position (there is still a small bevel on the edge of the fretboard to you can play in that position as well) might be more comfortable for you I'd drop Kevin Keith a note, I think he's got big hands. Sure, if you haven't heard him, you'll give up playing after, but hey...thems the breaks Oh whoops, this bubbled up on new comments. Sounds like you may have gotten your stick! no design flaw, just a more niche configuration (like the SB-8) |

I'm curious if anyone here has/had one or has had a chance to tinker with one and has any thoughts on it. Oh and if you find yourself contemplating getting rid of yours well.... Indeed I was able to get one for myself! I appreciate the answer regardless though FWIW 10 str railboard is decently close to a 10 grand. that and the keel thumb position (there is still a small bevel on the edge of the fretboard to you can play in that position as well) might be more comfortable for you I'd drop Kevin Keith a note, I think he's got big hands.
