You're seeing it right! 11 strings, no frets! This super unique and deceptively intuitive instrument (neck, scale length, and tuning are all standard stuff, guys) is a guitar/Oud hybrid of sorts (more guitar lineage than Oud) that offers guitar players the rare opportunity to encounter something truly new and fresh in the practice room with this microtonal machine.
A few years ago, Robert Godin became intrigued by the growing ranks of guitarists that were experimenting with the Oud. The Oud is a fretless, Middle-Eastern instrument that uses 11 nylon strings. The scale is very short and the tuning is not the same as a guitar. Enter the Glissentar with guitar scale—25 ½” —and standard guitar tuning. The Glissentar is surprisingly easy to play and opens the door to the microtonal sounds of Asian and Middle Eastern music.
