This is Claymore. A 10-string Chapman Stick made circa 1986-7 of polycarbonate.
A video demo will be put up once I have restrung it and figured it out a bit. I have lusted after one if these for over 25 years, so you can imagine that I am rather pleased at the mo'...

I am really going to be keeping tabs on your learnings with this BG. I've always been amazed by this thing but I only have four fingers and one thumb on each hand and they don't always do as they're told. I am pleased for you!
