#decacorde #tenstringguitar

Marina Krupkina is a performer on decacorde (ten-string guitar), composer,
arranger.

Decadorde is a very special kind of guitar. Additional strings
expand the capabilities of the instrument and enrich the sound with new overtones,
and low basses give a special depth and warmth.

Original modern music, as well as arrangements for a ten-string guitar 
are created and performed by Marina.
The light eclecticism of her style reflects the essence of the decacorde and 
connects the classical roots of ten string guitar, dating back to the 18th century,
with modern guitar tendencies. 

Marina Krupkina performed in the Smolensk Regional Philharmonic,
Gnesins Concert Hall, Cultural Centre of Yuri Bashmet (Moscow), Moscow
school of music "GuitarDo", the book club-store "Hyperion" (Moscow), etc.
