Watching this first thing in the morning is a treat, rock on both of you. 😮😃😌😁
Amazing!!!!❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good luck to find a case for this guitar !
Ginger Jam if they can make a guitar , they can make a case too .. 😂 lolz....
A large mixing console trunk wil do.

Jackson Dale especially to tune

ikr!
I love the way all these great guitarists play on this magnificent instrument . I feel honored that you acknowledged my heartfelt remark. My soul spoke to you and you thanked me for my complement. It's a beautiful feeling.Thanx

I can only hope Linda, also creates an electrified version of this same identical, truly incredible, multi-guitar ! 😊
Congrats to Linda Manzer the creator of this Beautiful instrument i must see all of her creations ...
I bet it's hard to find tab for one of those.
Lmao!
Scott Ansell lol imagine what the tab would even look like. I CHALLENGE ANYONE TO CREATE A TAB FOR THIS PIECE!
Good point. Gotta make your own and then copy it. Looks like you'd have to draught six different tabs per sheet. It would resemble a mini orchestra score. Too bad we only got two hands...but maybe not for long....robotics and transhumanism. ha ha,,, naah - all one needs is creativity and timing.
LOL

Thank you for your kind comment, Scott.
"Henrik, are you Finnish?"
"Hell, no! I'm just getting started!"
I've never heard that joke used on a Danish person before. I've heard it all my life (unfortunately😂).
WHAT AN EXTREMELY OUTRAGEOUS INSTRUMENT THAT YOU PLAY SO BEAUTIFULLY
YOU NEED TO ADD AN MADOLIN
I couldn’t imagine the stress and pressure on that guitar… That’s got to be the most advanced guitar I’ve ever seen! Making it seems like it would be the technological achievement of a career, much appreciation and respect!
Speechless wonderful instrument
Incredible guitar, good playing.
Fantabulous! WOW,.... gorgeous guitar/multiple string instrument. Your work is magnificent!
Fabtastik
Nice to see people thinking outside the box in design music ish …. And how cool is it very beautiful 👍
100% agree.
Thanks for the musical message
Thank you very much
Building that guitar is some accomplishment ma'am. I say very good job though I can't play a note myself. Still I love guitar music and I recognize that this must have been a very difficult project, but you pulled it off. Good job!
How in the world can anyone rate this video negatively???? There's nothing negative here!!! And thousands of thumbs down???!!! It just makes mo sense at all!!!
Yep, people are strange...
Russian bots sewing discord. Ignore.
I believe this guitar was featured in Guitar Player magazine back in the late 80's or early 90's.
She also built a somewhat similar instrument for Pat Metheny, and I think he wanted this particular guitar, but she wouldn't let him have it, so she built the one he has now-there are videos of it here on YT I think. She was the only one building stuff like this for many years.
I've only seen one of her guitars live in the flesh, at a guitar show in Dallas, it wasn't for sale, it was on display with other rare, high end guitars.
A Collings is like a Squire Affinity by comparison to her stuff.
Just amazing..
They should give this guitar to the young man that was on America's Got Talent and see what he could do with it because that guy that was on American Got Talent was an absolute phenomenal guitarist and did things with a guitar that nobody thought could be done I would love to see what he could do with this one
His name is Marcin Patrzałek - from Poland. I guess he couldn't be able to play it since his "spanish" techniques requires more handy instrument... however... there is no things Poles could not challenge :P
that's all you could come up with from all the amazing guitarists around?
@@hazardeur u talking to me ? yes that's all, just filling up details to previous post. No need for more now.
This is an astounding instrument; I love that people are making stuff like these........ But I can imagine that Wednesday is tuning day --- ALL day long.... No need for a custom guitar case, just use a coffin for an Octopus.....
This the perfect example of music becoming Art through an instrument and artist like no other. Simply Awesome.
The amount of tension on the top must be insane. Props to the luthier for somehow designing strong enough braces that don't limit the sound.
Parabéns esse é exótico de verdade Imagina só quanto trabalho para afinar Esse instrumento muito obrigado pelo vídeo
This is just simply too cool !
Linda: Can you tune this guitar for me?
Guitar tuner: sure…hold my mortgage.
Amazing 👍🎶🎵
how could 1000 people possibly thumbs down this lol I don't even mildly understand what there is to thumbs down. It's not a video on a controversial opinion lol. it's a creative genius work of art! :D
Rachel Klysz te mo querida
well you can carve a flute but the real skill is to make that thing alive
It's 3800 people now. That is about three quarters of the size of the membership the Guitar Builders Guild. Don't mind them. They are seething with envy, as per usual :-)
@@Sophiedorian0535 Agree Rachel and Sophie.
Wow 👍
As a wooden flute maker, 5 hole, pentatonic minor scales, I appreciate the success. Well played.
Great piece of art and Henrick is amazing. Many wouldn't probably even notice in case a couple of strings snaps off ;) Great for concert appearances.
excelente música instrumental
wow she’s a great luthier also she made pat metheny’s guitar linda manzer you did it again
Thank you Eric.
Fantastic monster guitar !!!
Thank you
It is beautiful and sounds amazing!
This looks like a type of guitar that I have seen Pat Matheny play. What an incredible instrument.
Another composer and instrumentalist that this performance reminds me of is Andreas Vollenweider. as he plays the acoustic harp and all the other unique instruments played during his concerts by the rest of the group.
The guitar that Metheny plays-called the Pikasso-was made by the same Linda Manzer who built the guitar in this video.
Where would you find a case to fit this guitar?
+johnsoncm65 Ebay.
Lucky Henrick wasn't left handed because they don't make left handed cases or these instruments anymore! lol
Just to your nearest coffin maker.
Just go to your nearest coffin maker.
CASE would HAVE TO BE " FULLY CUSTOM " MADE
Amazing instrument. Finest piece for a luthier
Ingenious! I love the look and the sound is awesome.
Amazing
Thank you
Merci Madame!
Phenomenal talent all the way around. What a luthier of luthiers, and a guitarist/vocalist in harmony with his voice and instrument(s). So amazing to listen and see such uniqueness! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so very much for your warm and positive attitude. Merry Christmas.
How long does it take to tune it?
Try tuning a piano, tempering 300 strings, perfect 3 string unisons, stretched octaves, thirds and 4ths with narrow 5ths.speeds of beats speeding upwards into the highs, while slowing down beats towards the bass notes. A piece of cake.
MrTommy4000 hi
call and ask your local recording studio how often their piano is tuned. and ask if it is tuned automatically before it is to be used, even if it was tuned the day before. by the way, moving a piano or subjecting it to a change in environment is far less damaging to a piano than direct sunlight. a solid piano will remain pretty much acceptable for about 2 weeks before it takes in the change in relative humidity. and a piano moved correctly will have almost no affect on a good tuning
It takes 8 hours. By then the temperature and humidity have changed so you have to start over.
Mr Tommy - where can I get one of those automatic piano tuners??
Incredible! I would love to try this legendary instrument!
Fantastic!
Thank you so much.
I used to think the harp guitar was the most complex and the weirdest type of guitar I've ever seen. Well, I was clearly mistaken...
I would use this to play wonderwall or zombie just to piss some people off. It's an amazing instrument though.
i was going to put a link to the cranberries' "zombie" in this comment but the video has a 20 second ad before it even starts so i did not.
Unthawed Goss singer

Jitsy kind
This instrument is a Medusa,She knew it that,the singer Sr.Henry,will be the first Singer inventing His own wonderful tool,both are musical geniuos,I am a critical of artist and musicians,You are on.Buena suerte,ou vier, arrivederci, solong,hasta luego.
Linda, that is seven beautiful instruments! And Henrik makes them all sound wonderful!
"How serious are you?" translates - "How much money do you have?"
Quality costs..
CNC machines made that saying obsolete Jan.
Hardly, there's R&D, raw material costs, final assembly and access to a CNC machine, and I'm sure there are other costs I can't bring to mind right now. Sure, it's less impossible than it used to be but that's not the same thing as without costs.

Thank you for your positive comment.
How in the world did you come up with that I can play guitar but if I had something like this in my hands I wood not even know where to start this video is the best one I seen on UA-cam ever........
Took a lot of String Theory to make that guitar !
Looks like fun to me...nothin' better than being able to go off on your own trip into funk and happy jubilation of Love thru ,music. Oh Yes !! :)
Great comment. Thank you
“Hold on,just gotta tune it….” Lmaoooooo made my day!
