Music Instruments

ACN 10-string acoustic electric guitar

Built in 2015, this 10-string acoustic electric guitar (I believe) is this first one on the market to have 10-nylon strings on a semi acoustic body, 24 fret extended neck and synth electronics for the nylon strings. This prototype guitar has a ghost tech pickup system designed and manufactured by Xen.Guitars. I play the guitar without the electronics and as a synthesizer guitar with orchestral effects. The YouTube premiere of my music video, Daybreak from the Cycle Suites (see E Komo Mai page), showcases the music possibilities of this monstrous instrument.

Classical Guitar

This custom 8-string cutaway classical guitar has a two additional bass strings for altered tunings and 22 frets to extend the entire scale range beyond four and a half octaves. This guitar is custom designed by Luthier Douglas Ching. I recorded my music compositions with this guitar on the solo guitar album, Reunion.

Music Composition Projects

These are a just few instruments that I use to record and/or perform on. I'm working on another piano and orchestra composition but plan to use these instruments on future recording projects. Stay tuned for updates on that project.
