I own Hamer's 12 strings and I like the sound as guitar with low octave. But this 8 string sounds are deep low bass sound with clear octave sound. These are quite different more than I thought. The Scorpion body is very impressive. We know the scorpion that used by Greg Lake (ELP), Chuck Panpzzo (Styx) at arround 80'. This is the exactly that shape. The only difference is horn carving just like contour cut. This carving shows the sleek and sharp horns.

Greg Lake's 8 string was one of the original Alembics that got its hooks in me and fueled my long love affair/obsession with Alembic.

BTW can't you upload any sound clips?

Don't believe I've ever seen one quite like it. It looks good with the body shape. pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 971 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Monday, April 29, 2013 - 4:14 pm:    Wow! Super nice.
