The instruments of Resonance
Sándor Szabó:
For the Resonance recording sessions, Sándor used only one instrument: a
McCollum 12-string baritone guitar. This instrument was based on the
design specs of the Santa
Cruz DKK-12. Various stringing and tuning scenarios were employed.
For some pieces, the McCollum was string as a 6-string baritone in Nashville
tuning. For others, it was strung as a 12-string baritone; often with
altered tunings.
Kevin Kastning:
For the Resonance recording sessions, Kevin employed two instruments
which he designed and developed with the
Santa Cruz
Guitar Company: the Santa
Cruz DKK-12 12-string Extended Baritone guitar, and the
Santa Cruz DKK 6-string
Extended Baritone guitar. The DKK was tuned to F# tuning.
The DKK-12 was also F# tuning, with the full complement of
octave
strings for each course.
The DKK-12 was used for all tracks, except for three pieces: Two Pilgrims; One Path, and Tanz Grotesque Nos. 2 and 3, which were recorded using the DKK.
