John Williams got me inspired to study classical guitar when I was young. I lived off of his Bach lute suites (At that time) tapes. Side note: With my eyes closed He sounds like Obi Wan Kenobi when he talks.

He’ seems a fantastic luthier but either sells to dealers direct or new owners do atraight away. Even if you have the cash if would be hard to get one. They sound good but not £20k good. Mind you he shares his ideas and a few other guitar makers utilize them too. Not played one but would be interested to. My teacher says they have very thin tops and a massive thick back.

I think it is an exceptionally great guitar, by all means. By the way, prices have about doubled, after only these 9 months or so, even with all the economic strain put on us by Corona. (At least) one is just on sale.

About 10 or so years ago Greg Smallman came to the London International Guitar Festival and talked about his guitar production methods. He was a very humble and fascinating chap to listen to. His engineering ingenuity was as remarkable as his enthusiasm was infectious. John Williams was in the audience as well. A very special memory.

Is your hearing impaired? Fletas sound like constipated tissue boxes. John has pulled out of Smallman guitars never before heard sounds and harmonies. Ever since that pivotal moment in guitar construction, classical repertoire does not sound like pre-WW2 era mono recordings..
@Deerse 6 жыл бұрын
To me I prefer the Fleta guitar which may sound more percussive then the Smallman as JW says, but the colour and character speaks for me much more, I think I embrace that " imperfection" which is perfect in itself. And I also prefer the older style of playing JW did in the sixties and seventies with more phrasing and gracefulness, compare the same pieces e.g.
@ZRJZZZZZ 2 ай бұрын
Not “all” downhill, but I agree with you the Fleta-recorded output usually sounds better. I have played both extensively, and I prefer the traditionally made instrument.

@zvonimirtosic6171 6 жыл бұрын
"Magicky thing", in Australian slang, magical quality. He refers to playing of certain chords - the sound projected has richness he never heard on his old guitars, but only on Smallmans. Then he compares the new harmonics he hears with the shimmering of eucalyptus leaves on tree tops in summer's breeze. Now, to understand the metaphor, eucalyptus trees do not have dense branches but well spaced out, and on them long, thin leaves, that create almost silent, rustling-like sound which is not harsh, but very velvety.
