OM / Dreadnought
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 фев 2021
- Picking up two popular and typical acoustic guitar shapes, Orchestra Model (OM) and Dreadnought and I compare the shapes and sound. In the end of the video, I played two songs to share the sound.
1. From Coast to Coast
2. Takibi (Bonfire)
My points are:
Even if those two guitars have different characters, if you keep in mind following things, guitars have more potential for different styles.
1. Changing the setup (action and string gauge)
2. Adjusting how you play each guitar (dynamics etc)
Guitars I used:
Martin OM-42
Martin HD-28
I hope you find helpful information through this video.

Perfect English, perfect demo, awesome guitars and playing!!! 10/10
Thank you Andrew for your feedback! I am glad you like it.
I enjoyed both versions of both compositions.
I own an 'OM21 Special' that I love to play. Both of yours there are wonderful instruments.
I believe that there is truth in the concept that a guitar can sound better over time; even a lesser expensive guitar particularly if it is well made and with a solid top. Something about the wood.
I have subscribed and will keep an eye out for more of your posts here. Thank you for this one.
-KM
the bass response of this HD28 is just so awesome
Yes, HD-28 has very warm bass.
I really like your channel and your playing! You explain in a very unique way versus the other guitar channels here. Bravo
Thank you John for your feedback. I appreciate that you like my approach to review guitars!
Love your playing Hiroya! Great video too. :)
Thank you so much Sergej!
Great info, nice playing. Thanks😊
Terrific video👍 Very well described, the differences between the two. I'll check out your other videos.
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed this video. Yes, please check other videos too.
Beautiful songs, I really liked them. The OM sounded much better to me on both songs. I have a dreadnought but it’s too big for sitting in the house to play. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. Yes I agree that I also get tired of playing dreadnought sitting down. A couple of months ago, I did entire show with dreadnought, but after the show, my right arm was very tired.
On both songs, I liked the dreadnought sound more.
Beautiful playing and a wonderful thought-provoking demo. Well done!
Thank you very much for watching.
That OM is sublime especially on the second piece
Beautiful playing !!
Thanks a lot!
Wow this is some incredible playing!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful playing my friend. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment!
That’s some serious and beautiful playing.
I’m amazed by the OM in the first song.
In this recording I could almost feel how easy it is to play.
Thank you so much for your words. Yes, OM is very comfortable guitar to play to me and I think in general too.
Great playing, two beautiful instruments.
Thank you very much!
Just found this video holy wow! Thank you. In the hands of the right person it’s amazing how these instruments can come to life.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing. Both guitars sound amazing. I own an OM28 and yours sounds beautiful.
Thank you for watching. OM28 is a great guitar, too!
Wonderful original songs! Helpful comparison as well.
Thank you very much for watchig!
fantastic comparison, beautiful playing too!
Thank you very much for your feedback!
That second piece on the HD was sublime. Those open notes were magical.
Thank you for listening. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you! I loved both of your songs… Bonfire touched my emotions a little more! Both guitars sound great but just a little different (no big revelation there) 😊 I really appreciate your playing.
Thank you for watching the video. I am glad that you enjoyed it.
Nicely said and denonstrated Hiroya. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for your insight into the musical nuances of a dreadnought. I love my dread for fingerstyle and feel like there is so much emphasis on bluegrass and flat picking. I have a D18, and it can definitely bring it in any strumming and flat picking styles, but it also shines in warmth with the right fingerstyle touch.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I like D-18 and it is just a great guitar Martin produced.
Agreed
Thank you for the video, Hiroya. You make a great point about how each guitar is marketed. After listening to both songs, on both guitars, I must say I prefer the Dreadnought. It has deeper, richer tones for your songs. And, I might add, I really enjoyed your playing.
Thank you for watching. I am glad that you liked my comparison with OM and Dreadnought. Yes, I agree that dreadnought has deeper and richer sound.
Bonfire was sweet. Honestly your songs are why I subscribed. Your music was the real winner in your demonstration.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it Christopher.
Stellar playing my man
Thank you for your feedback!
Hi Hiroja. Thanks for playing your lovely compositions; your playing is highly refined and sweet.
Obviously we all hear differently and have different tastes. From my perspective - listening to your comparison on a good system - the OM pales in comparison to the lush sounds of the dreadnought, across the entire tonal range of each instrument.
Thanks for your excellent comparison.
I'll have to check out more of your music.
Best regards,
Paul
Thank you for watching the comparison. And I appreciate your feedback and observation to OM and Dreadnought.
Really love your tune Bonfire! Very nice. I started on classical, then went to double bass, then acoustic guitar, then electric guitar. You make such a good point about approaching a single guitar from all angles instead of approaching it the way the shops or the marketers want us to. There are plenty of amazing recordings that can remind us that a dreadnought can be a great fingerstyle guitar and vice versa. In the end it can be challenging to have one guitar set up to do all things. Now I have a D set up heavy for flatpicking and an OM set up for both plectrum and fingerstyle.
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed it. And yes, your setup for dreadnought and OM is ideal I think.
Hi Hiroya ! My god your playing is exquisite! When you started playing that's when I realise how long the road to mastering guitar is going to be long ... very very long for me 😂 I enjoyed every single not of it. Also I specially love the sound of your HD28 ! Just the sound I love and I wish you would have strummed this beauty a little bit !! Thank a lot for your video
Thank you for your comment Philippe. Good to know that you enjoyed especially HD-28. Yes it is bit challenging to play for a long time, but I love the warm and deep sound of that guitar.
Súper ! 🥳 beautiful songs :)
Thank you for your feedback!
Such a talented player my friend. Either guitar in YOUR hands is a treat to listen too ❤
Thank you very much for your words!
@@HiroyaTsukamotoMusic Pleasure. Take care friend
The playing here is so beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful playing and song’s
Thank you Vic. I am glad you liked.
Great video! And, owning a Martin OM-42 in a beautiful sunburst finish as well as a less expensive but still great-sounding Martin DC16 GTE I sometimes find myself doing similar comparisons. However, I must tell you that the sound of my custom built Kevin Ryan Mission Grand Concert with a cedar top and rosewood back and sides will bring tears to your eyes for finger picking and is more spectacular than anything I've ever played or heard!
Good to hear that you own OM-42 as well. Your Kevin Ryan guitar must sound amazing and beautiful for sure!
Both sound great. Cool songs too.
Thank you very much!
What a gorgeous sound from both. Beautiful songs!! Thank you for this. I think most can agree different body shapes and scale lengths have different strengths, but isn’t it likely the manufacturers and certain sponsored reviewers overemphasize these differences to encourage consumers to buy more guitars? And they’re very good at it too! Ha! Your HD 28 is magnificent.
I am glad that you enjoyed the sound. Yes you are true. They try to sell more guitars!
Beautiful playing my friend 👍
Thanks for listening
Very insightful
Thank you very much!
Hey Hiroya, I came to listen to this comparison, but I was distracted by how pretty those songs are. Great job! Both sound great, OM would probably be my choice because it is more intimate of an instrument imo which is my favorite aspect of guitars.
Thank you very much! Yes, I agree that OM is more intimate and just comfortable to hold, too.
I actually lowered the action and lightened the strings on my dreadnaught (like you mentioned) and it did play MUCH better for my style of playing (I am a fingerstylist). But I play mostly sitting down so even though I am a big guy (6'4") it would mess up my shoulder when playing for any length of time. So I found myself playing less and less. I switched to OM and it was like magic happening. My Taylor just melts into my body and becomes a part of me, as opposed to me fighting with it. And the major dimensions are identical.. the SHAPE is different with a smaller waist which makes how it sits when playing lower, and is HUGE concerning comfort. The neck profile also helps in playability but that carries across no matter what body shape you get... but folks should always take that into account as well.
This all said, if you don't need the volume, I always recommend the OM. I thought I wanted and NEEDED the dreadnaught, but I was.... wrong.
Wonderful playing my friend. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Yes, OM is very comfortable guitar and now I am thinking to go even smaller than OM as I get older.
My only full sized acoustic guitar is a D28 and I do everything with it. It’s a perfectly fine finger style guitar. I loved both guitars, the depth of the HD and the chiming balance of the OM. Both excellent. I have been thinking about a smaller body 15 series Martin for comfort and variety.
Great video! Lovely playing.
Thank you for your feedback and sharing your thoughts. Yes, Martin 15 series seems to be a nice guitar too.
すてきな曲です！あと、OMとドレッドノートとの違いはよく分かりました。ありがとうございます
見て頂きありがとうございます。少しでも参考になればありがたいです。
Very nice sound i prefer the om sound for me it have more deep feeling with your music. Thanks a lot for this beautiful video🙏👍😉
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
It's not a matter of "better' it's just different. If someone can play like you can Hiroya, any guitar will do I'm afraid. I really liked your pieces.
Yes you are right. They are just different. Thank you for watching.
Sugoy! 👏👏👏
Wow...hermosas las dos y tu interpretación es magnifica, dulce y delicada. Creo que me inclino un poco por el modelo Dreadhought, siento que su sonido me envolvió completamente. Gracias por tan hermoso video.
Muchas gracias por su mensaje. Si ambos son guitarras buenas, pero me gusta el sonido de dreadnought. Una problema es dreadnought es tan grande para mi.
Great Demonstration, by the way, I love your role in The Last Samurai Movie. Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada.
Thank you. I enjoyed that movie too!
Beautiful stuff man, seriously beautiful. Personally I like 000 Martins, especially the 000-18 MD, but in your hands, I think you're getting more out of the dread with your style. Both are terrific instruments, but yeah, your style, at least here, benefits from the bigger body.
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your feedback. I love OOO too. So many great guitars and hard to choose!
I'm 69 years old, got a helluva lot of acoustic guitars to think back over........what I would say to you, is.......the most beautiful guitar I ever heard was an "OM", as you call it, Hiroya - (there is a question of our words, 60 years ago, for the same guitars today).......the make was a Guild, played by Bert Jansch, it had an incredibly beautiful individual tone.......all I remember musicians referring to was "the female body shape" (the OM) + "the chord box" (your Dreadnought)......we did know these are called Dreadnoughts, but they were called "chord boxes" disdainfully, real musicians, musicians' musicians......showed off they didn't like "chord boxes", "for nothing but strumming"........Guild had a bigger image in the 1960s & 1970s, they suffered financially, possibly with the advent of Ovation guitars (look at the clip of film on RUclips of Glen Campbell talking on British TV, to talk show host Michael Parkinson, about his Ovation, I think that might have been very damaging to other guitar companies, with only Gibson & Fender surviving - another good make of acoustic guitar was Fylde, you would find them very interesting).......anyway, I enjoy these RUclips series, Hiroya, I'll watch out for more. 6:38
Thank you for watching my video and I appreciate your feedback and observation. And thank you for sharing your own experience and interesting story as well.
Nice
Thank you
Thank you for watching.
First of great playing and compositions! I have to admit that the dreadnought here sounds better through my serious Bose headphones....I know OM's are suppose to be the better for fingerstyle, but there have been so many fingerstyle songs recorded in the 60's and 70's with D-28/35's....especially in alternate tunings. I too struggle with which is better and have both too. The OM I have is sweeter, more defined, balanced and certainly more comfy sitting, but the dread has that projection and power even when played softly. Nice work Hiroya
Thank you very much for your feedback and your observation. Yes, you are right, a lot of music in those days were recorded with dreadnought. And even fingerstyle guitarist such as Michael Hedges, too. Both are great guitars!
That´s the key: playing the dread softly. More possibilities in dynamic
I prefer the Orchestra one. Nice review btw and you look innocent 😄
Yes Orchestra one is very comfortable guitar! Thank you for watching.
Lovely guitars..brilliant compositions. I personally prefer dreadnought and I own two Fender dreads (SA 105 & FA 125) and I play fingerstyle, sing and strum with ease.
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, dreadnought has more bass and warmth to it. Good to know that you also play fingerstyle with Fender dreadnoughts!
I completely agree. I have a Taylor 210CE dreadnought. I had the neck reset with 12 gauge and I can play what I like on it. I was going to buy a Taylor GA (114CE) which I love but a special price came up on the dreadnought. Love them both but got the dreadnought.
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience about your Taylor 210CE dreadnought. That is wonderful that you did a neck reset for light gauge.
Bravo très intéressante présentation OM / DREADNOUGHT , mais pas facile en les magasins de musique de faire ces essais.
Merci! Thank you for watching.
Both sound great, and your technique and playing is superb..
If you could only have one which one would it be?
Thank you very much! Even if I love the big and warm sound of Dreadnought, OM is very easy to hold and play, so I guess OM?
I prefer the OM from what I'm hearing. The playability in the lap is also something I'm considering. At home the dreadnought just fells so large where it hits the arm and it leans down.. but I do need to try this standing up and see how they feel. The OM looks so comfortable there in the video.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I am the same, all though I like Dreadnought, but it is challenging to play for hours. Yes, you should try playing in standing up.
Thank you so much ,beautiful music. I am looking for a finger style acoustic. I own a Martin drs1...need more volume for my style . This has helped me greatly. GOD bless...
Thank you for your comment. I am glad that the video was helpful!
The bass notes one the dread sound great--big and woody!
Thank you!
I agree with tradition in that a 00 or 000 / auditorium body style is best for fingerpicking because they tend to have all the strings even in volume and are more responsive to touch. Hammer-ons / pull-offs, harmonics etc. can be done with minimal effort. The notes jump off the fretboard for you. You have to hit those notes harder to produce them on something like a dread or jumbo. Dreads and jumbos also tend to have 3rd and 4th strings that aren't quite as loud as the others, especially on cedar tops. Lastly, if you're a guitar playing singer, a dread or jumbo can be so loud and produce so much bass that you find it difficult to sing over if you have a rather delicate voice, like Roy Orbison for instance. I have a baritone (jumbo body) tuned with light gauge strings C to C that I can't sing over very well at all.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this. You have a great view and it is interesting that you mention about using dreadnought for singer songwriter style. Yes, it might bother with too much bass, but I sometimes use lighter gauge for bottom string to balance it out.
@@HiroyaTsukamotoMusic Good idea.
Thanks for a great illustration with this comparison of 2 common shapes of guitars. I don't have a dreadnought anymore but sure wish I did. Do you like the Martin D 28? Recently watched a video comparing the D28 and the HD28. Liked the D28 a little better. But can't decide between it and a D 18. Already have a Brazilian Rosewood 2015 Taylor 814ce so a dreadnaught would be a good addition I think. Just subscribed to your channel. Will be looking for more videos from you. Thank you again.
Thank you for watching David. Thank you for watching David. I don't own D-28, but I like that too. I think HD is bit more responsive. D18 is great. Taylor 814ce must sound beautiful!
Wow. A great video in so many ways. It helps me feel contented with my Martins: a vintage Brazilian D-28, a newish 000-18, and a brand new 00-15. Maybe all I need? I look forward to more content from Lindsay.
Thank you for watching! Your D-28 must be a great sounding guitar. Yes, if you have that one, OOO and OO, you pretty much cover different body shapes.
I´m learning to play my dreadnought in a much more dynamic way. Then I can do without an OM.
Fine playing; you have your own style.
Thank you and that is great that you are exploring the different touch for Dreadnought too.
@@HiroyaTsukamotoMusic All the best for. Greetings from Germany
The d28 felt more brilliant and sparkly, where as the OM felt more voice-like, responsive, and relaxed.
Thank you for your feedback. I like how you described the sound of each guitars.
@@HiroyaTsukamotoMusic I really loved your playing and compositions. Bonfire felt really nostalgic! Your phrasing is excellent, too!
@@luckyjinxer Thank you very much!
I have a dreadnought with lowered action and medium gauge with pickup installed. It feels perfect when playing fingerstyle. The only downside is that its kinda hard to change right hand positions.
Thank you Robert for your feedback and what you do. That is a great idea to put medium gauge with lower action. Yes, it is challenging to find good right hand position for dreadnought.
As a beginner who does not know a whole lot just yet, I like the sound of the dreadnaught better but as a beginner who needs easier playability, it seems the OM for me is a better choice. I own a Fender Strat and a Yamaha acoustic dreadnaught but now I am looking for a smaller acoustic to learn on. I could hear the difference between the Dreadnaught and the OM even with RUclips's audio compression not helping things. I wish I knew how to put into words the differences I heard...the only word I can think of is that the OM sounds more muffled. Not as vibrant but still sounds really good. Thanks for the comparison Hiroya.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, if you think that you will spend a lot of time with your guitar to practice, I will recommend OM as it is a comfortable guitar to play sitting down.
I have been learning the guitar on a dreadnaught, I have now bought an OM and I find it much easier to finger chords and change chords. I think that size of guitar for beginners is very important and I would err on the side of smaller. I want to start busking and the OM is more mobile and sounds great when plugged into an amp.
Thank you for your feedback. Yes OM is very comfortable to play. And I think you will spend more time with the instrument if you have a comfortable instrument. I just uploaded a new video about size and body shapes. ruclips.net/video/kgAxlgS6pDc/видео.html
I liked both instruments. I thought the dreadnought sounded more brittle on the first piece. But upon listening to this again I wondered if it was the subtle difference in hand position of the right hand due to the size difference of the instruments. On my large body instrument, I find I can get a very sweet sound playing over the sound hole. On my short scale 00 instrument I have more flexibility for that sweet sound, and I think it is due to the shorter scale length, 12 fret body join, and the bridge placement. I am fascinated by the possibilities of the large body instrument (use of dynamics, muting bass strings so the top line doesn't get lost, etc.), and I agree that these instruments have been too categorized. I sit in the classical playing position for all my instruments and think it best allows for plucking hand maneuverability, eliminates that pesky upper bout issue, and since I don't have large hands makes playing extensions with the left hand much more possible. I am currently deciding between a 12-fret body join slope shoulder instrument or a traditional 14 fret dreadnought.
Thank you for your feedback and your observation. You have a very good point about hand position. And yes that makes a big difference for the sound and I agree that if you play in classical position, no matter what guitar we use, we can generally get better sound. 12-Fret Slope Shoulder sounds very interesting to me. I feel like that is bit more comfortable than normal dreadnought, but I have never tried before though. Thank you!
Feel better Dreadnought for 2nd demo song, while OM for 1st domo song. the D-28's sustain gives that song perfect emotion while OM's clear grain sound not that in the mood. I guess that's the reason you hired it for that song, right? Thanks for so great demonstration!
Thank you for your feedback! I am glad you enjoyed the different sound coming from OM and Dreadnought.
Best is to have both ;)
Yes that is true!
The larger body of the dreadnought clearly gives the sound more depth (richer low-end resonances, longer sustain throughout the entire range), but I felt the OM actually was the better choice for Bonfire. The thinner, silky sound of the OM suited the plaintive melody--lonely and bittersweet. The dreadnought ironically sounded too self-assured, as though the instrument itself didn't empathize with the loss being communicated by the song.
The comfort of the OM is a significant advantage, especially for someone who plays sitting down -- in a jam with friends in their living room, etc.
Thank you for this thoughtful review!
Thank you for watching my video and sharing your thoughts. I like how you described the sounds of two guitars. Yes, I agree that OM is very comfortable guitar to play sitting down.
I’m loving the sound of the Dreadnought better..
Thank you for your feedback!
I just purchased an OM-28 Marquis to pair with a D-45 and I was surprised that I liked the dreadnought sound better on both pieces. The more resonant low notes gave a piano-esque 3 dimensional sound. Whereas the OM I felt like communicated the melody more clearly but I couldn't hear the bass resonance as much.
I really agree with you on experimenting with how to play each instrument. The OM demands a lighter touch and making sure you are strumming in the right place.
I also have a nylon stringed Kremona Verea and that one due to the Nylon strings has a different sweet again for where to hit the notes with the right hand.
Beautiful original pieces. Do you have a Spotify page?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. I agree. And yes, I do play nylon too and that is very different and requires much softer touch.
Yes, I have Spotify, too.

I just bought Furch Vintage 3 D SR and have perfect sound and I bought Eastman E1OM which doesn't have perfect sound but somehow suit me more. Maybe because I'm playing some very old fingerpicking blues? I wish I bough Fuch OM as well. Thanks for review.
Furch is great! I have played their OM once and it was very nice.
I preferred the OM for both songs. Maybe it's partly because I'm more used to hearing fingerpicking on an OM. That's possible. But they both sounded very good. I thought you might want to try flat picking on both as well. Maybe you would want to change to medium gauge strings to do that. But you would not have to.
Thank you. Yes maybe in the future, I will do comparison with flat picking too. Yes OM is just ideal for finger picking for sure when it is set up nicely.
You need both, so simple IT IS🤗😭
That is right!
i couldnt decide ...... what a hard decision to make if you had to have one.. I ended up choosing OM but then i'll have to get a dreadnought one day
Yes, it is hard to choose one! Personally OM is just comfortable guitar to hold and play, so I think your choice is good as you will spend more time with that one.
I'll take one of each, please.
What do you think of the furch blue OM? New subscriber here.
Thank you for your comment. I have never played Furch OM, but I hear great things about the maker, so if I have a chance, I would like to give it to a try.
Hello, Is it more difficult to play finger-style on a dreadnought guitar? Thank you.
Yes, in general, it is because smaller guitars have more responsiveness, but if you put lighter gauge strings on dreadnought, it is easier.
For richness I feel the dreadnought slays the OM.
Yes, I agree and it is twice as old than my OM too, so that is another reason to have rich and warm sound.
I love my om28 but I barely use it…maybe not even a half hour had I hit it or had sung with it…Aregato
I know Hiroya was demonstrating that body shapes alone shouldn't determine what suits a particular right hand playing style but am I right in thinking (judging by the body colours) that the dreadnought had mahogany back and sides and the OM was rosewood. This would also influence the sound. For me the the first song being higher and brighter sounded clearer on the OM and the second sounded warmer on the dreadnought.
That model of dread has Rosewood back and sides.
Thank you for your feedback and observation. I appreciate it!
Hi - very fine playing and a good test too. You should tell us the year of birth for the pair. Would say a lot.
Ouh, , , the dread was preferred here - no surprise. .
Thank you so much for your comment. Yes you are totally right that years make the sound very different. My OM is from 2001 and Dreadnought is from 1980.
Yesyesyes, , , those older HD-28s are great ^
Be Happy
OOOは、弦長が短いのでテンションが弱くパワーに欠けオープンチューニングに制限があるが、音が柔らかく、離れたポジションを抑えるときやチョーキングの演奏性に優れている。
コメントありがとうございます。確かにその通りだと思います！
The melody in the first song, was much more articulate and fuller on the OM and less distinctif on the Dread. It sounded tiny on the Dread actually.
I appreciate your observation.
Gorgeous playing. Tabs please!
Thank you very much and your interest in TAB too!
I have dreadnought it's uncomfortable....am 180cm and which will be better for me...om or gs mini ..I like to sing strum, finguring but am confused
Om lower bout 38cm . mini is 36.5 and and scale is 64.5 and 59.6
Which will best for me...👍 I need GUITAR with comfort..and best sound
Thank you for your comment. I am not familiar with GS Mini, but I heard it is pretty comfortable and even small body, it has a big sound. OM is very comfortable to play in sitting down setting for me (I am 172cm). I recommend to go to guitar store and try both when you have a chance.
@@HiroyaTsukamotoMusic thank u.. 🙏
Which ever is the most comfortable to you. I would think the OM. You can strum and sing with an OM too. Just like you can play fingerstyleon a dreadnought. It's all in your fingers...you want comfort....OM has plenty of head room plus if you need a dreadnought volume just mic it or install a pickup. It's whatever works for you. Both awesome guitars. Cheers!
GS mini are fine as well.
@@steveb9325 thank you 🙏
@@steveb9325 Thank you for your thoughts. Yes I agree. OM is very comfortable guitar which we don't have to even think about much when playing. And GS mini is nice too.
I prefer the tone of the OM for finger picking.
Thank you for your feedback.
The OM is the better choice for most players.
Yes, that is true as OM is more comfortable to hold and play in general.
Same sound quality but…he is Ricky…Aregato (my son is a Japanese americano but doesn’t know this but the his dad collects this kind of musical instruments ( they are all attorneys in California ❤);btw his dad’s last one was an 18th century Martin parlor guitar… original Takamine 12 strings fr Japan Martin ukuleles fr Hawaii etc amps 😂😊
Thank you for watching and sharing that.
My son- in -law is a pure 3rd generation Japanese American …I sang with them y had loved me(:
弦長が、ドレッドノートやOMは650mm程度で、OOOは632mmとかなり短くなってますよね。テンションやフレット間隔の違いは、音や演奏性への影響が大きいので、ドレッドノートとOOOを比べたほうがよかったかもしれない。音はみたまま、大きな箱のほうが迫力あるより深い音がでますよ。小さいほうが繊細なプレーに向いている感じかな。
フィードバックどうもありがとうございます。そすですね０００とドレッドノートの比較も面白そうですね。あとOMとOOOの比較もいいかもしれないですがOOOは持ってないんです。
No one needs a dn for fingerpicking
If your not playing Bluegrass you don't need a dreadnought, lots of excellent guitars if you are not playing bluegrass.If you are you need banjo killer,Martin dreadnought or all those copys are good too just cost more than a Martin,the one they are copying. Just sayin!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You are right!
Great video. I'm a fan of the dreadnought guitars myself, everything from folk & blues to classic rock & some more guitar-based pop. I love the sound, & feel of these guitars - especially if it has a slightly thinner neck & slightly curved fretboard (handy for thumb-over work). Love your playing style👍 I think the fit depends much on the size of the player too. I've never had issues with dreadnoughts while sitting, but I am quite tall & long arms (in proportion to my size. I still need to bend down if I want to scratch my knee lol)
Thank you for your feedback. That is great that dreadnought fits with you even sitting down! Yes you are right. It depends on the size of us.
Found your spotify. Very nice work😁👍
Thank you very much!
