As a lover of guitar instrumentals I was totally blown away by, initially, the concept of this instrument and then its sound. I don't think I'd want to try and tune it. Beautiful rendition of a timeless melody.

Yes, very cool and beautiful. I've seen harp guitars before. I wonder what key the "extra" 12 bass and treble strings are tuned to since they have no frets. I would think that sort of means you are limited to playing in only a couple of keys or modes. Where as the guitar portion of the instrument can be played in any key.
