Solo Guitar's parlor guitar kit. 3 year review.

Solo Guitar's parlor guitar kit. 3 year review.
Hello. Would these handle 12s and standard pitch? Thank you for your time.
@aperezdeal this guitar is setup with 12's on it. I had it at pitch in the shop for 3 months and it has had no problems. Having said that, I did drop it down a 1/2 step just because im not always watching it.
I very much appreciate the speedy reply! Thank you sir! My mother in law has one and a B-25 but with the ladder bracing I wasn’t sure if it could handle 12s. Thank you again.
@@aperezdeal those B25's are lovely guitars as well.
and they're the same strings? no phosphor vs bronze
@@thedavesofourlives1 same strings, right from the factory
I got 4 year old strings on my 53 year old Yamaha fg75 and it plays and sounds amazing
@@Mytwocentsisallicanafford thats awesome.
No such thing as 2 identical guitars
@Mytwocentsisallicanafford very true. But at least they are from the same company, I feel like it was a pretty fair comparison...
Got a nice rich tone, nothing too harsh. Sounds good
@@BirdDogg thanks for watching.
Nice sounding fiddle!
@jackiemiller6060 yeah, I almost sold it a couple years ago, but just couldnt bring myself to do it.
Love your playing!
@@ryanj1262 thank you so much.
From John Arcand! Very jealous! I would love one his handmade fiddles. Can't wait until I can upgrade!
@KenneyCmusic this is not a handmade one of his. But he has many. He is working on #100 now
That was cool. Thanks.
@@j.j.6050 thanks for watching
@@j.j.6050 thanks for watching
A Laberte ya say...curious to know if has a label and if so, what does it say?
What's your choice of strings for this beauty?
@@ThePrairieFiddler Im using Evah Pirazzi strings on it right now.
@@lucaswelshmusic7607ah, I see. Best strings!
Mines happening on the fattest string and it’s stuck in there pushing it in isn’t doing it
And if all else fails grab some pliers and try to lever the pins out. Sometimes stuck is stuck. Try wiggling the string as you push it down.
@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I didn’t have any pliers so I used some scissors and that did it
I realize is a very obscure violin. But i appreciate that you took the time for this video... as i have crossed paths with one.
@@chikokishi7030 I kind of hope not to cross paths with anymore of them really. Hahahaha.
I am partial to the maple chin rest for sound results. Another influencing factor could be how much clamping "material" the chin rests have which comes in contact with the back of the instrument (i.e., the maple had the least without a bar across the clamping legs). Also how tight the clamp is, likely influences the sound as well. For what it is worth... And thank you Lucas, for the good, educational video! - bro Paul -
@@paulb.searles7481 thanks for watching. I want to do a tailpiece shoot out... I think that will have more drastic differences.
Really enjoyed that, Thank you!!
Have you tried different woods tailpiece? I find it's usually what has the most impact on tone with changing and trying different combinations. Also, you could try obligato rosin it's usually a nice rosin to round the sound.
@jonhh6918 a tailpiece throw down is on my list, but its quite a bit of work changing out tailpieces so that will take me some time to video and edit.
@lucaswelshmusic7607 I find that the wittner tailpiece either really help the tone or really makes it harsh. I usually like boxwood and rosewood and tamarin the best.
@jonhh6918 yeah those wittner tailpieces can work really well actually. I use a lot of them. I reserve wood for better instruments, and even on those I tend to use wittners at least half the time.
Use a better bridge.
Usually the bow and or strings effect the sound the.most.
Put back on the ebony chin rest. I couldn't notice any change. Try a cork soundpost. My old violin teacher said he used a tinker toy for the soundpost. 😅
Check your fundamental. Get some swiss stone pine and make soundpost from it.😅
Try fatter gut strings. Try different rosin on clean bow hairs. Try violabow.😅
Your clamps should not touch transome of violin. There should be air gap. The cork does make contact.😅 try some gut tail piece. The button should also be checked.😅
Check your contact at bridge to belly!😅
Try more thicker cork at chin rest clamp.😅
Try a fatter sound post in the middle. Barrel shaped. Or a fluted sound post. Try a turkey feather for the sound post. 😅
@@user-do5hd7zb4x lol. Turkey feather eh?
Grab a genuine chamois cloth, cut some tide bits for the A and e strings. Place the tiny chamois bits under the A and e. You use it like parchment. It should soften a harsh a or garish e string. If you want it louder drill the bridge under carriage. Strop the strings. Tug at the octave. Dont put a kink in it though. Hope this helps.😅
Learn to pronounce LOWENDALL. It is Loo-ven-dall.
@@michaelwhisman thanks for that.
Do you recommend changing strings on a newly purchased guitar?
@@billdivine9501 I think a lot of "budget friendly" guitars come with cheaply manufactured strings. You could swap them out right away, they will likely go dead very fast anyways
That bridge lean is hurting my brain cell! 🤣
@@11000038 lol.
Overall, I liked the Hill style rosewood.
Thats what I wound up putting on. Best compromise for tone and looks I thought
I guess that plastic types must be comparatively unacceptable. I am trying a new wood one in place of the original plastic and I like the sound better with the ebony wood. For your test, I agree with the boxwood.
I think I even had plastic, I never thought to try it. Thanks for watching. I wound up going with rosewood, I felt it sounded better and looked good.
Great review, and a thoroughly decent chap!!
Thanks
Im a beginner. This info is helpful as I dont yet know very much.
Glad you found your way to my channel. Thanks for watching.
You are funny and right
Thanks.
@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I've been playing for 48 years. when I played out I changed strings every night
Check to see if they're breathing.
Lol
Sweet vid thanks bro!
Thanks for watching.
Some call that mellow. I like to hear them ring. Gimme some twang.
I find room in my heart for both tones....gives me an excuse to get more guitars. Lol
@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I have a 66 Southern Jumbo and Elixr 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb strings give be the brightness I like on some songs. Their Phosphor Bronze Polyweb strings give me the mellow tone I like on other songs. If I'm playing the bright strings and want mellow, I pick with the flesh of my fingers and if I'm playing the mellow strings and want bright, I use my nails more. I like your "more guitars" method better.
PS my bridge has been lifted fer ever, even snapped the neck one time and repaired it.. Its a humming burd version much like the one you show , never had a sticker on it just a number inside. my neck has solid square fret markers on it..
I have an old mannsfield, I bougt in a pawn shop for 125 dollars, My first ever steel string guitar, my second guitar ever, that was bak in 2005 ish.. still my go to guitar to play, sounds better than any I have ever tried or played.. Luv my Jane .. :)
This one sure surprised me.
This was really helpful to hear you compare them with the ring out. Thank you for making this video
Thanks for watching.
The strings are dead when i began to like it how they sound.
Absolutley, sometimes I like a string that has lost that sizzle, especially when recording.
That is crazy 🤯
I learnt a knoo ting! 😊
This is far from boring amigo. I love watching violin repairs
Thank you very much.
Excellent review and video here. The ugly truth is made of pau ferro, and is sitting right under those bridge pins and saddle. But that is just like...my opinion dude. I'm not purely an "aesthetic" guitar buyer either, as I've owned a guitar that plays and and sounds great for almost 6 years that has been called "ugly" by others. I would say it is unconventional and futuristic, but not ugly (Journey OF660). But I cannot get around the Alvarez bi-level bridge and that is a shame because I've played some really nice sounding ones. 🤷
What do I do if the string doesn’t go into any direction?
Take all the strings off the tuners, reach in the soundhole and try to pull the string from inside while you push from the top. If that doesnt work and the pin is still stuck then you may in fact have to use a set of pliers of some sort. I have had good luck with side cutters, I grab below the head of the pin and lever against the bridge a bit.
Thank you! It was hard and I was not sure I’m doing it right, but I managed to take the pin and the string out 😮💨
Still wondering what the ugly truth of it is??😂😛
Lol. I couldnt really find anything bad to say. Its a great little package for a great price.
Great work ! Btw if you put the word "Lysøen" into google images you can see Ole Bulls home, its quite special.
That's some awesome wizardry, Lucas! That ole bull sounds great, Thanks!
Thanks. Yeah it came out pretry good.
Great job Lucas! Seems to have a very mature, balanced and beautiful sound. Magnifico!
Thanks John.
