I think you need it!! 😆

@@itstheguitarcollection haha！I need time to make money!

Hello!! Great to see you here. Thank you :)

Thank you! To be honest, I never thought I would have one. Someday it can happen!

👍 i have one question can you play next time testament amelia i Think that will be sound amazing on guitars you present to us thank you 😊

@@DeusVult84 sure! I love that piece, and have played it in some other videos :)

Thank you 😊

Angelika, thank you for your comments and your beautiful observations. "Charm" is a nice way to put it.

@@itstheguitarcollection 👍👌

I can't say I've noticed a trend, but also haven't played a Mueller pre 2010, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Thanks so much! It's always hard to say. These are great makers you mentioned. It's something I'm thinking about often, too. Artists of all types (artisans/performers/luthiers, etc) work their entire lives for one or two more percentages. I'll agree that others come close, but how close is a bit debatable. Certainly, no one -needs- a Hauser II, Torres, or Dammann for that matter. But these instruments do have a few extra percentages, as we'll call it that separate them. I'm not entirely sure it has to do with time, but of course, it makes sense! No doubt, the most important thing is actually the player. The player enables the instruments. No great instrument even sounds acceptable with bad playing.

I couldn’t agree more. We are living in excellent times for classical guitars

Yes sir! Link to the description and price details are in the description of the video! Cheers!

That Evan? Cool

It sounds to me like we are hearing different things, and that's okay! I hear a guitar that is true and clear. The two guitars you mentioned are very nice, but are of a different sound signature entirely. I've grown to very much like these super clear, responsive instruments, including this one which I think it beyond exceptional. These aren't colorful words, but honest thoughts. I very much enjoy the instruments by Fritz Mueller and Woodfield (and have owned many of the later). It also sounds like these instruments you might just be more familiar with and are partial to. Anyhow, thanks for the comment, even though it feels quite rough around the edges.

@@itstheguitarcollectionI think we are hearing the same things, we just have a difference of opinion over those sounds. The standard back bracing construction is not exceptional, it produces exactly the sound you would expect when teamed with a double top sound board, clear and responsive it may be, but that pretty much sums up most decent classical guitars on the market today. Perhaps my "rough around the edges" comment may actually be the sticker shock of this Kobs at 28K, this current market certainly offers a lot more bang for your buck by luthiers more deserving,...imo. That said, I am sure someone out there with $$$ will buy this guitar and love it.

I want to hear the doubletop guitar you made!!

​@@itstheguitarcollection LOL, IKR, having definite opinions around "experts" is a rub for many. Though having real understanding of double top guitar construction physics, teamed with a good studio rapport with many fine builders, who all have told me I should start building guitars, with some even offering me space in their studios and to teach me the ropes, all because they know my love of luthiership, my knowledge of air movement physics, characteristics of hardwood curing, and luthiership history. One thing is for sure,... I would immediately start with the designs of Dammann who re-imagined Boucher, and Mueller who gave Hauser and Humphrey a real good study. We are currently in a guitar world with too many chiefs and not enough Indians, love many trust few, but always paddle your own canoe. ;-)

@@00vTv00 I would be fascinated to see what you come up with! I fear you'll believe you'll have made the best guitars in the world, and anyone that doubts it you'll immediately know is wrong because of your firm beliefs. Hmm, actually, come to think of it, that sounds like the personality signature of some of the worst builders, players, and artists as a whole. In any case, it's easy to put down the efforts of these great luthiers over a matter of preference, which undoubtedly you've developed, as have the great players who actually chose this style of instrument. Personally, I find joy in the fact that each instrument is like a magic wand finding the player. I've been in many rooms where one player matches perfectly with one guitar, and the next player makes it sound terrible! Of course, both people being very capable top-level players with beautiful tone. To speak in absolutes like you have, even going as far as pointing out what you seem to know as the flaw in a specific part of it's construction, is where I see the issue. Anyways, I hope you focus your efforts on building or something in the guitar world. It seems your account is rather anonymous, so I'm not sure how I'll follow, but I'd love to put a face (or a guitar) to the name, 00vTv00. As far as me, I'll keep enjoying and appreciating guitars, no matter how different they are. I hope you'll enjoy videos to come in which I play guitars your like more :)

I also think this one sounds really natural! It's nomex! To be honest, I don't really relate nomex vs balsa to being more natural vs synthetic. Has more to do with everything else, in my opinion.

Well this guitar changed my idea of that. This guitar sounds amazing

It’s hard, but this one was never mine, selling it on consignment. I wish I could keep it 😭

Many thanks!!

I love this guitar!!! Everything is listed on the website :) Link in description!

Beautiful instruments should be heard. I believe the point is inherently obvious.

@@itstheguitarcollection Sir thank You for answer. However, inherently obvious is only the fact, that these instruments should be heard in concerts, not in a demonstration, road test type of format.

@@jackkurasik8371 This instrument is for sale. Which is why I'm demonstrating it. I disagree that this instrument only deserves to be heard in concerts. Plenty of people with real appreciation for instruments like these can enjoy them in their home. And it seems that aside for yourself, most people are enjoying the recording and in this format. The reality is, that in large concert halls, this instrument will likely have be amplified, losing much of the value of the instrument's nuances in the first place. Besides that, most people wouldn't choose this instrument for performing large concerts. I put a lot of care into showing every string of the instrument and a variety of musical examples. This helps us have a better understanding of the true sound of the instrument. No reverb, no enhancement, and no hearing it from 150 rows back in an audience. There is a lot of undeniable value, which leaves me confused at your comment.

You are very welcome! Thank you for the exceptional guitar. It's fantastic!

Do you sell your guitars in iran?

@@ramdav8950actually I live in Barcelona. At the moment I can’t send the guitar to IRAN

so glad you enjoyed!!

Dynamic!
