Russian 7-String Guitar
The 7-string guitar was popular in Russia from around 1800 well into the twentieth century. Most of the music is for solo guitar. Arrangements of folk songs, as well as variations sets, comprise the bulk of the repertoire. The tuning was in open G: from low to high strings D-G-B-d-g-b-d'.
Beginning in January 2025, Dr. Oleg Timofeyev has become a consultant for the processing and cataloging of works relating to his specialty, the Russian 7-string guitar. Dr. Timofeyev has written a ground-breaking dissertation on the subject, The Golden Age of the Russian Guitar: Repertoire, Performance Practice, and Social Function of the Russian Seven-String Guitar Music, 1800–1850 (Duke University, 1999), as well as a recently published book: The Seven-String Guitar in Russia: Its Origins, Repertoire, and Performance Practice, 1800-1850 (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023). He has also performed and recorded extensively on the instrument. For more information, see: russian-guitar.com
