This
amazing beauty possesses the best qualities that a concert guitarists dreams
of: A beautiful powerful sound that sends huge waves of sound all around
her. A playability that will make you feel like the guitar is working with
you in the creation of each musical phrase. A beauty that will make you
speechless.
I used a variation on the Hauser
brace which incorporates a special underbridge taken by luthier Fritz Mueller
and a transversal Ramirez based strut. My very personal input is the blend
of woods used in making the fan brace: Spruce, Cedar, Mahogany and Sinker
Redwood... just like the blend of tobaccos, this "blend of woods adds a
unique "flavor" to the marvelous sound of this masterpiece instrument.
As I play the instrument I feel a tremendous bass and a super fast response
to the requirements of my right hand. The Bach prelude is exuberant. The
action is swift and easy and the slim stylized neck is responsible for
this.
The mid ranges, trebles and harmonics
are all there making of each musical phrase a poem. He who shall own this
masterpiece, will own a true piece if art and a geniality of modern luthery
