Yeah, I saw that.

It's an intriguing idea, I suppose. It may be better suited to single string work; chording might be difficult for those of us who don't have 14 fingers. That low course may add Lead Belly range bass run capability coupled with an otherwise standard tuning for the 12 higher strings.

Who was the old bluesman with a 6 finger hand? Maybe he could have used such an instrument.
