      I love Tosin, but his sound is just a lot of well established classical concepts that used to be as popular as pop music is now. If anything, I view him like a musical historian breathing new life into old concepts.

      @@reboooot lol you can say that about any musical concept, that all artists are just breathing new life into what has already been established, but there has not been another musician in history that has propelled so many other musicians to take up a number of diverse techniques and approaches to an instrument like Tosin has. "historians" don't inspire like that. Pioneers do.

      My guess is Tosin wanted to present something a bit more approachable for anyone new to his design aesthetic. He probably was curious to see if he could work out something with one less string on it LOL. If there's enough demand I'm sure an eight string model will come to the market.

    • @Baribrotzer

      Robert Fripp's been doing that one for fifty years.
      And Tosin already does it as well: Although he dresses like a rock star - an understated one - he doesn't really seem to act like it. For him, as for Fripp, it's all about the music and he does the Big Time Music Biz stuff reluctantly or not at all.

    The way you make notes sit together that wouldn't normally mesh to an ordinary guitarist is incredible.
    I felt like I was reading a book and there was a plot twist at every single note you played, and I had to just keep reading. You hear a note change and you feel like it won't work out and instantly the next note makes the last one make sense. Wow.
