The construction of guitars with more than six strings is not a new idea. From the lutes of the Renaissance and Baroque eras and the Russian 7-string guitar of the 19

Century, until the present, virtuosi and composers for these instruments have all been an important part of the evolution of the multi-stringed guitar. Implementation of the modern ten-string is credited to the internationally acclaimed Spanish classical guitarist, Maestro Narciso Yepes. (1927-1997). Maestro Yepes collaborated with the Spanish luthier, Jose Ramirez, for the construction of the guitar with four added bass strings. It was premiered in 1964 with the Berlin Philharmonic with Narciso Yepes performing the Concierto de Aranjuez.
