Hands down some of the finest playing I've ever heard.

[@goneoverboard2900]

Very hard to get a Sigma sdr-28mle now..Only so many made...It has the same solid woods and is made with the Martin d28 1937 vintage in mind £6000 +.. Love too hear them both played together .....

[@Spidouz]

Wow, very nice video! Nice camera quality, great sound and awesome playing. I've watched plenty of guitar and demo video online and it's one of the finest. Great comparison; I don't know Russian and I still watched until the end. Thank You!

Brilliant musician ,thanks for demoing the guitars , just say I prefer the Sigma , and at half the price Im buying one tomorrow .

I acquired a DR-35 Sigma manufactured in Japan in the 80's. All I can say is that the sound is superb and it would be the last guitar in my collection that I would sell. To the gentleman playing in this demo: Wow. Just fabulous playing!

[@ericwilleke6613]

I have a DR35 from 70's, made in Japan. It sounds great

[@francescopuc1985]

thank u very much for this accurate comparison! Excellent playin!!! In my opinion the major difference consist in harmonics maybe due to different finish and wood quality... Anyway Sigma guitar are very good for price range

[@andreasrys883]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I wish I could play as you do :-)

[@TheeJamber]

Amazing playing. A sight for sore eyes. The Martin sounds much better to me at all range.

I think it's better to have this gentleman's fingers, the guitar is secondary, superb video and for the guitars I would like both...

[@tonycurtis2891]

That's why I love Sigma guitars...might not have the cf martin brand, but are the same if not better!

[@stevebogucki6236]

tony curtis Sigma guitars are made by cf Martin.

[@ironman4934]

Sigma guitars WERE made by Martin some time ago, now operated by a German company called 'AMI Musical Instruments GmbH', Martin sold Sigma in 2007. Were made in Japan until 1983, now made in China. Good guitars if you ask me. I just purchased a Martin OMCPA4, but I plan to buy a Sigma Jumbo (copy of the J200...)

[@d35s2]

no, they are not and never have been. Sigma was started by CF Martin in 1970 but first built in Japan and later Korea, Taiwan etc... Then they were no sold for a number of years and only a few years ago, AMI in Municg, Germany bought the name and the rights to sell it from Martin except for the USA I think. They are now being built in China and they are great guitars. We have 4 Martin's and 5 Sigma's at home to play for the family. Just ordered one of these DR28MLE with a solid Adirondack top and solid back and sides of real Madagascar Rosewood, something the Martin HD28 does not have... so, hard to compare the two guitars as they are completely different!

[@goneoverboard2900]

@@d35s2 One of the better comments...The Sigma sdr28mle would be better compared with the Martin d28 1937 vintage model..same woods all round..same nut width ..same looks etc.. etc..however..huge..price difference..over £5000.. My sdr28mle is a keeper..great sound..hard to get hold of now

[@benforsey]

Amazing playing! While the Sigma doesn't sound 'as good' as the Martin, it does sound really good in it's own right. And for £2000 less that's incredibly impressive

[@JoshwaBurke]

I just ordered this Sigma SDR-28. Very nice guitar playing =) While I realize this is not a Martin, this video has made me very excited to receive the guitar. I have a Taylor GC-8 that I don't really want to travel around with so I figure this will be a good camp fire and travel guitar. Anyone care to share their experience with the new Sigmas?

[@bambostarla6259]

I have one and I love her to bits 😍

[@holywell5649]

I thought the sigma sounded rounder, softer and more muted. Maybe it would open up. I wonder if the Martin is older and played in ?

[@d35s2]

Probably the Sigma has to open up a little more than the Martin as the Sigma has the special Adirondack spruce top whle the Martin has a sitka spruce top. Also the Sigma has the special Madagascar Rosewood while the Martin has Indian Rosewood back and sides, quite different guitars. I love that Sigma and have ordered one.

Can someone please translate, into English, what was said of the results of the comparison of the Martin HD28 and the Sigma SDR-28MLE? Thanks!

[@TimofeyZhidkov]

Here you are. :) Eng. (something like that): "The both guitars perfectly for bluegrass and country music. Of course on this guitars you can play in different genres. In my opinion Martin has more soft sound, more smooth. Sigma has over higher mids sound, but of course it's can be a dignity of instrument (in my opinion). You can play on this guitar swing or jazz-manouche. If we will talk about price, the both guitars justify its price (both guitars justify A-class). I can say that everybody of us feel a sound and music not only by hands or head, but also by all body too. I suggest you just take the instrument and try it, and make their own conclusions already. But I'm sure you will like the both guitars, and I'm sure it will be difficult to choose the best for you." - Nikolai Grigoriev, guitar player. I hope that you understand the translation. Tim

[@d35s2]

Thank you for the translation! Note that the different is ounds also comes from the difference in woods used. The Sigma has a solid Adirondack top, the Martin a Sitka top, while the Sigma has solid Madagascar back and sides and the Martin the usual Indian Rosewood B&S.

[@LuNaaaaaR]

[@robinskitube]

Very nice playing indeed, ok the Martin does have the edge.....slightly richer tone with a little more bass but for a Chinese made guitar of less than half the price of the Martin I think the Sigma stood it's ground. This model being one of the all-solid wood range from Sigma guitars.

[@zelejazz]

Big difference.Fullnesr in bass,middle and treble, and richnest in sound and volume of a Martin.Anyway Sigma is good guitar in it's value.

[@rmzzz76]

Excellent playing. It showcases just how different the tone is. The Sigma is missing the mojo. Perhaps most notable on the open chords, but really I hear it throughout. However, even a mediocre guitar won't hold back great palling from shining through and you sir can do more with that Sigma than I'll ever be able to with my Martin. However my playing could use all the help it can get and the Martin does help.

[@bzaden]

Thats why I support sigma,damn sounds and holds the tone way better

[@serhiy1237]

[@AndrewMcMillenium]

[@micheldevries7975]

Amazing playing. To my ears the Martin has way more dynamic range and that organic typical Martin 'mid bump' and that signature resonant ringing sound. Although the sigma sound good on it's own, to my ears is not even in the same ballpark compared to the Martin. That is a bummer, because the Martins are so expensive. If the sigma would have that same magic , I would buy one in an instant, because I don't really care what is on the headstock.

P.S. ... Ciao! Scusami se chiedo a te ma siete pochi ad essere degli esperti nel settore e siccome credo che forse avrete avuto tra i vostri prodotti in vendita anche la Sigma SDR-28 MLE che era una produzione limitata e credo dedicata a tommy emanuel volevo sapere se veniva fornita con custodia rigida o morbida...(!!) Io ricordo che fosse con custodia rigida e addirittura su reverb mi sembra la vendessero usata con custodia originale rigida. Perchè faccio questa domanda? Credo di averne trovata una ma siccome oggi come oggi vatti a fidare ...e siccome non è in italia volevo sapere se proporla nuova e con custodia morbida potesse essere attendibile visto che parliamo di una chitarra che viene proposta apiù di 1000euro!!! Puoi aiutarmi a dissipare questo dubbio nel caso tu ricordassi concretamente che la Sigma SDR-28 MLE venisse venduta allepoca con custodia rigida??? grazie!!!

[@gesucristo1012]

SI SENTE CHE LA mARTIN è LEGGERMENTE SUPERIORE E CREDO CHE MOLTI CHE HANNO COMMENTATO SE NE SIANO ACCORTI DEI BASSI PIù presenti e di un volume leggermente più alto. Detto questo però ci sarebbe da valutare se entrambe le chitarre avessero le stesse corde e se hanno gli stessi anni...!!! Non credo che la Sigma sia più vecchia della Martin e questo di sicuro la penalizza perchè i legni più invecchiano e più il suono migliora se negli anni lo strumento matura e risuona !!! Quindi è facile che non sia stato un confronto proprio alla pari magari se dopo un po' di anni si rifacesse lo stesso confronto con corde uguali e con uno strumento che comunque è stato suonato e ha avuto la possibilità di far vibrare il suo legno e di farlo asciugare e invecchiare allora si che adesso potremmo valutarne l'effettivo valore. Adesso dopo sei sette anni sarebbe bello riproporre il video con le stesse due chitarre come un film di Rocki e Rocki 2 :) !! ;)

Nice video and good démonstration and nice playing. But with a low 1000$ price Martin DM the sound is better than à sigma guitar

[@tobisteffen]

Very little difference...the Sigma has a somewhat stiffer sound, probably because of the finish.

[@grandnaguszek7417]

Also, the Sigma is adirondack spruce/madagascar rosewood while the Martin is sitka spruce/east indian rosewood. The Sigma has a 1 3/4 nut, the Martin a 1 11/16. Very different guitars. A comparison between the Martin HD-28 and the Sigma SDR-28H would have been better as they are very similar.

Small difference. A little thinner sound on the Sigma.
