This came up last night, listened to it this morning. Very nice. The performance is top notch. I like it better than the cello suites.

What is the thing that she has on the treble side? It looks like some sort of stand, but it moves quit a bit. Never seen anything like it. Another I showed, had a hand guard on the bass side that I've never seen or heard of.

I added a link to the maker:

She has a leg support on the treble side. Is that what you are referring to? Those are most common on classical guitar trained players.

Yes, that's it. Sounds like an idea like a shoulder rest on a violin. Something to help hold it so your hands don't have to do it all.
I've never seen, or heard of it.

Thanks.

Did you put that one on your "list", Ken?

The way I build, the list is far enough out already! I am going to start stringing up early, as part of tuning. I'd like to know how the sound and setup will be.

Unless I'm mistaken that's a harp guitar.
