I was both reticent to exhibit the temerity of posting this in the

which I tried to mollify, but someone with real expertise in this area
could probably do better. Actual hiss removal programs I've tried made
it sound weird; any engineering suggestions would be welcome.

Who is that playing?
MT
The guitarist is Mr. JonLorPro himself, John Marsh Bigelow.
Check out his website:

I that case, let me congradulate John, your quite a good player!
Excellent! and very nice guitar! �I have a soft spot for guitars with
lots of strings.

Yes, indeedy, 'tis I- nails and all. ;- D
This was taped long enough ago so that its now becoming a bit of self-
delusion that this is how I imagine myself to look.
The website is a project that has been languishing- in a raw state,
needs lots of editing- but please do check it out. The link that Seth
kindly provided doesn't include the "index.htm" at the end when you
click on it, which is becessary. There is also a peculiar protocol
whereby the "A", ""W" and "S" in "ApolloWebSite" all must be
capitalized. I am most grateful to the guy whose website this
actually is, who is helping us out with the design and is hosting the
page for us for now (Stephen Baird, be sure to check the rest of his
site if you are at all interested in or concerned about street
performance and first amendment issues- and also if you like wild bird
photography, another one of his interests!) but I am anxious to get
around to getting the site ready for prime time and putting it up for
easier accessibility at BigSalt.com.
I thank you for your comments! and everyone else's, too, Larry,
Seth, the Steves Perry and Ganz, Andresito, and others.
The eleven-string I used in that video is one of two that I have,
this one is a Stanul. He had contrived a system whereby when making a
guitar he was able very easily to put a top on temporarily and take it
off again, so that in between fiddlings around with bracing,
scrapings, etc.it could be strung up and played in order to appreciate
quickly the results of such experimentation. The top we settled on is
actually the third one we tried, and it has very little bracing
inside.
I'd love to try one of yours someday; they sound excellent in your
videos (and well played, too!), but this will have to wait until my
high risk- high yield investment portfolio ( i.e., the state lottery)
pays off.
Re: the sound on videos- I mentioned having tried hiss removal
programs doing weird things; I recall in some of your first videos on
YouTube hearing a few odd high-end artifacts of the sort that I was
getting a lot of when I tried to clean this one and others up, but
your later YouTubes don't have this problem- were you trying some
similar program which you changed or tweaked somehow for better
results? How are you doing your recordings?
