On opening the case, I let out a surprised, whoosh, as the radial segmented soundboard, mindful again, of the great Italian luthier, Andrea Tacchi, just blew me away. Otherwise, simple, elegant, clean lines with a surprising amount of resonance and play to this guitar. Nuanced, lovely, musical expression are at your fingertips. A beautiful guitar that is wholly accessible to anyone looking for a fine classical guitar to play, record and perform with on a daily basis. Our photo session with the guitar was a blast. Such a treat to look at this phenomenal looking, interesting soundboard. It is pure eye candy, and yes, the guitar sounds as beautiful as it looks. I’m going to enjoy this recording session. This particular guitar is a Tribute to one of her teachers, Mario Garrone. Claudia works and lives in Rome, one of my favorite cities in the world. It is and will continue to be a pleasure to work with this fine young luthier for many years to come. Please read more about Claudia D’Ammassa here along with her build philosophy and methods. ___________ Media Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended including EQ manipulation, if possible. We record everything flat with just a touch of Reverb to relieve dryness. My goal is to record the guitar as realistically as is possible. I speak in the recordings, my thoughts about the guitar (and possibly other things?). My speaking also serves to give you my first impressions and to also give you a balance of the engineering (or lack thereof) versus the sound of the guitar. I simply do not have time to engineer much of anything. Thanks.
