The Glissentar is a 11 string fretless nylon guitar.
The harmonycentral publishes guitar user reviews. The reviews I have found rate the Glissentar as a good instrument.
Here some user comments:
”The tone can be likened to that of a fretless bass, thickened somewhat due to the doubled strings. Even more than usual, the individual musician's playing technique has an enormous effect on the tone. Given that there are no frets to temper the sound, different degrees of pressure yield slight tonal variations. Of course, your intonation plays a strong role in this as well.”
“I play oud and sarod, so I was simply compelled to get this instrument. It's much more convenient and reliable as an amplified, portable gigging instrument than the traditional instruments that inspired it.”
I like to record the Glissentar without using the built in transducer. Instead of this I use a microphone to get the acoustic sound.
