I really do like the sound of that recording, and nice to hear that poem in a new way too.
Much appreciated.

Tibbetts sometimes varies which octaves he replaces with unisons. On that piece above, it's the "D" and "G" strings (and of course* the "B" and high "E" that are unisons.)
Picture of the cheap 12-string strung like that:
