Title: Baritone 12 string
Post by: hydrargyrum on March 07, 2005, 02:41:35 PM

Anyone ever seen a Baritone 12 string?  Is it even possible, or would that be too much tension for a neck?  If it is possible, what about a twelve string bass?  Imagine how thunderous one of those would sound.

If they can do this then I bet they can do anything.

Hmm, after seeing that I am beginning to wonder about a sixteen string . . . eh, maybe not.

Although I can't recall ever seeing a Alembic baritone 12, I know Billy Sheehan used a Yamaha as well as a Renaissance baritone 12 on his (first) solo album Compression.

Renaissance and Veillette both make baritone 12 string electic-acoustic models. I think Veillette also makes a purely electric version too.
