# 6.2: Creating a Multisig from Descriptors
# 7.2: Creating a Multisig from Descriptors
You can improve your control over the creation of a multisig by creating it by hand with a descriptor.

## Create the Descriptor
Next you create the descriptor. This requires two questions:
Next you create the descriptor. This uses the same technique as you applied in [§4.2](04_2_Integrating_Addresses_Descriptors.md), except you'll be creating a slightly more complex multisignature descriptor.
Doing so requires you answer four questions:
1. What address type do you want to use? `sh` (P2SH) or `wsh` (P2WSH)
2. What script function do you wan to use? `multi` (Bitcoin Core default) or `sortedmulti` (safer, but non-default)
3. What is your threshold? (how many keys are required to unlock?)
4. How many keys total are there? (how many keys could be used to meet the threshold?)
You then write a descriptor of the form:
```
