BOOKS
The Manzer Medusa Guitar
The instrument has 52 strings: 3 different harps!
Two of them I can play with my fingers and the last I can strum.
Lover neck is like a 6 string exept from the low E bass is
replaced by a 4 string bundle tuned in E & B.
These strings has a "buzz saddle" to produce the sitar like sound.
This neck is also scalloped - to get a sitar & veena feeling.
Middle neck is a 8 stringed guitar -
like a normal guitar with a B & F# bass string added.
Upper neck is a fretless soprano guitar tuned in A.
The unique guitar is created by worldfamous
canadian luthier Linda Manzer and we designed it together
during two years.
Concerto for guitar and orchestra "På Herrens Mark"
Comissioned by Kaluga world of Guitar festival and performed May 29th 2018 with Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra
Conducted by Sergei Tararin at Kaluga Festival Hall - Kaluga/ Russia. The 45 min. guitar concerto contains 3 movements

"A completely different image
from Henrik Andersen.
This is one of the most famous fusion guitarists. In Kaluga, he performed something dawn, a thirsty flight, similar to the old legends alternating with a battle cry!
It sounded strong and large, like a single canvas, on which the imperturbable Andersen embroidered on the strings an intricate landscape.
How, passionate, impetuous
and ardent is the dane!
"So much purity, power and love!
And in the end - a unique,
slightly guilty smile from Henrik"
(translated by Max Liapunov)
