Born 98 years ago in Spain, guitar virtuoso Narciso Yepes is known as a chief proponent of the ten-string classical guitar. 🎂 This fascinating 10-string guitar on display in our Spain exhibit was owned and played by Yepes for over twenty years and was his preferred concert and recording instrument. The four additional low-pitched strings can be played or treated as sympathetic strings to provide a balanced, powerful sound. Happy Birthday, Narciso Yepes! 🎸 Gift of the Robert J. Ulrich and Diane
