Yep, on the classical radio station I sometimes listen to here they had some classical guys come play in the studio one time, and one of them brought an 8 string and played some stuff specifically for that range. Awesome bass work and sounded kind of like drop D or open tuning maybe on a 6 string, but yet still more range. That is the first I'd seen of a 10 string...I'd like to hear (and see) it's full potential too!
