Master of the stringed instrument, William Eaton designs and builds the instruments he uses in his recordings and performances. Expanding the basic guitar, Eaton has added a harp and open bass strings to make a harp guitar and koto harp guitar, extra strings for the 26-string guitar. His o'ele'n strings was inspired by a Victorian era armoire and has two sets of strings on separate necks with scalloped fret boards resulting in a sound reminiscent of the Indian sitar. Whether alone or with his band, William Eaton continues to bring his unique style, skill and dedication to instrumental music.
