What a pleasure it must be to explore what's possible on that guitar. The clarity, balance, sustain & interplay of the tones in this decay 24:48 are amazing. Thank you!
What a blessing to hear the different tones. And your audio tech is superb. I totally agree that the Marco Lijoi has the most balanced sound. That has been my search for a long time-to find the most harmonically balanced guitar. I can see his guitar also being perfect for chamber ensemble. It will clearly stand out among the other instruments. I spent $6,000 on my LoPrinzi Millennium, and waited 3 years for it's completion. I wish I had that money now: I'd buy Marco's guitar in a heartbeat! Ah...c'est la vie.
@@alessiosandro123 What makes you think it is not? I can't see any reason to suspect they are different. There is the same darkish place at 2 o'clock of the rosette; the colour changes depending on the angle of the guitar to the light source; when he turns it in his hands, it becomes darker, as it is when she holds it. The sound he produces is obviously different from hers', but that is absolutely to expect with two different players with different nail shapes and technique... I'm curious what clues you have found to the contrary?
I am fortunate to have one also. In fact I have it on "an" authority it is more a Smallman because it is supposedly the first Eugene made and had most input by Smallman
Ana is the most inspiring classical guitarist on earth maybe and you’re very lucky to have her as a listener to your playing her favorite guitar. By the way could you let me know the piece you’ve played at the time 6:30. Thank you so much.
Could you please let me know what woods have been used for the Ana´s guitar. Wait for yoyr reply and thanks for your favor of your attention. Víctor García ( Mexico City)
Beautiful toys! I would like to hear some JS Bach´s works. Ana... I would like to hear you playing Some Bach´s lute works in those incredible guitars. You ow me that.
I listen to many guitarists on this channel and am amazed by all of them. But Ana is still my favorite, she is the one who caused me to start listening to so much guitar music.
Ana Vidovic is so humble....Such a talent and yet telling you how nice you sound on her guitar.....Beautiful person as well as the best classical player in my opinion.
@manzmoez9099 were you replying to jaassil in your original comment? If so you didn't tag them in the comment and it comes off like you were replying to the main post. I find ana vivodic to be absolutely amazing
I can personally attest to the projection of Ana’s guitar. I’ve been to one of Ana’s performances and was seated way in the back row and the sound it produced was incredibly clear. So clear that I was looking for some kind of amplification. Nope, not a bit of amplification. It was all from the natural acoustic sound produced by the guitar. A truly excellent instrument in the hands of an exceptional musician.
Ana Vidović is amazing. Not only she is a humble, very disciplined, hard working person but also incredibly talented. She takes so much care about the sound of her guitar and she has a deep knowledge of what she talks about (both musically and soundwise). I wonder if she has any 'Alhambra' guitars, which are crafted here in Spain. Probably she does have one. I will say it again: she's REALLY talented. Not only as an interpreter, but also as a composer. If you haven't listened to the wonderful piece she and her brother Viktor composed together, "Raft House", I recommend you doing so. It's a very beautiful piece. So is her, inside and outside. I'm really looking forward to attending Ana's next recital here. I attended the ones she gave last June and November here in Madrid. I will never forget it.
I enjoyed her concert in an intimate setting in Washington DC a few years ago and was also very impressed with her technical skills and beautiful interpretations. I was able to meet her after the performance and thought she was so charming and humble. I am a student of classical guitar and told her I was learning to play La Catedral from Barrios Mangoré, which she played that evening, and she was very encouraging. I always refer to her pieces on RUclips for inspiration and also just for the enjoyment. Greetings to you in Spain, guitar capital of the world!!
@@sallyevans2268 I'm so glad to know you had the chance to attend Ana's performance in an intimate setting and meet her after the performance. I agree with you: her playing comes from the heart and she tells the stories with the instrument. I could also add that I've never seen anybody else execute dynamics the way she does. You mentioned "La Catedral", my favourite piece of Ana's repertoire!! :-) I also agree with you that she is a total inspiration, not only for guitar players, but for musicians in general and most importantly, for becoming a better person. Greetings to you there in the United States and good luck with your musical career!! Big hugs!! :-)

I have become a huge fan of the way Ana Vidovic plays, she has incredible dexterity that produces her own sense of personality to the music 🎶 or maybe it is the guitar in her hands I'm hearing...
Amazing! Love Ana’s playing…it’s always a treat to hear someone else play my guitars. I really enjoy the way you let the guitar resonate after each chord.
That Mikael Cadiz, oh what a guitar.👏👍👍 That Redgate one, perhaps a good tone, but so uggly and clumsy in some way. For example the design of the head, makes me feel sick. I dont like it at all, but thats me. That was a strange tremolo only with two fingers i and m?????
Hola.maestro... todos tus videos son maravillosos , pero este con la grandiosa maestra Ana estuvo de ensueño... el mejor regalo de navidad para todos... mil gracias
What a fantastic interview, Ana is a phenomenal guitar player, and she is right you can have a personal relationship with a guitar. If you find the right one, you won't want to play on another. I have seven and I only love to play 2 of them. But even my favorite one I love most is not the best, most expensive one, but it is the most comfortable one. Redmond is a beautiful sounding classical instrument. I wonder if hers is the single or double top version. Ana when she plays takes command of that guitar and it does what she wants it to, she is awesome. I don't think I've ever heard her miss a note on that instrument yet. A most confident player and humble also. 😎🤠
Marco's guitar (w/ blue rosette) is very fine, but the tonewood has not opened yet. The tonal picture is not yet complete but it will sound great in 10-15 years. Kim's guitar gains projection, at the expense of nuances in the middles. I think it's a usual problem with lattice-braced guitars; projection is gained by over-emphasising highs and lows. Annette's guitar benefits from cedar top: the tone is warm & immediate, but the short scale affects lower end which is not as "nuanced". For good lows, full scale (650mm+) is needed. Michael's guitar is fine, but the spruce has not opened yet, the mids are not quite there yet. Sounds good and rounded in the lower end, and it will be a great guitar in 10+ years. Ana's own guitar is well played-in, the tonewood has opened up, and it sounds fantastic (well, perhaps just a tad it hides the mids, as all lattice-braced guitars do).
Which strings does Ana use? It would be nice for her to discuss her string choice and why she uses whichever ones she prefers. It would be nice for her to discuss how different string choices alter the tone of the guitar and the colors she is able to get.
Of course hearing these expensive rare guitars is interesting. But when an expert guitarist reviews a guitar I would be much more interested in how she reviews AFFORDABLE , cheaper mainstream guitars. That is more interesting because more viewers could actually afford those guitars and maybe will decide to buy it. But these expensive high end guitars are beyond affordability for normal mortals like us.
Don't spend your time chasing the perfect guitar---whatever guitar you have --practice more(quality practice) learn to feel the music--a great player brings out the best in any guitar--as long as you have a good guitar that is set up to be easy to play---that is all you need---the rest is up to you--- playing beautifully comes from within---it is not dependent on the guitar you own.
All know Playing God ?can be bought with simple instalment 12 month a year warranty is eternal available name of Luth guitar acutely accusstic and electric with signature of Tim Henson Wow all know ❤️@
So rear to hear Ana describe her relationship with her chosen guitar! And even more special to watch her listen to her own guitar in hands of Siccas Guitar owner's hands. She could hear and feel "herself", live. Very exciting, indeed.
Its very hard to pick which guitar i would prefer because they all sound and look amazing , having got ceder top guitars i would go for spruce top for my next guitar but by which luther be hard to choose ,have to spend a few hours of playing comparison , also love your videos you two guys make a great double act
hiIincredible review!!!particularly appreciate kim lassarague guitar!!! sober and sensitive , matt sounding and powerful!!!what's the second song you played!!alain
Man wtf!! everything sounded the same and why do u charge so much for guitars I mean if they have expensive inlays or fancy craftsmanship and exotic woods then it's okay but as far as sound is concerned they are all the same You are making it vague by describing the same sound on different guitars what does "color" even mean it could mean completely different to every player also I bet if u did this blindfolded even you wouldn't understand the difference I would rather purchase a laminate guitar and an expensive mic to sound better Wtf man?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We understand your concerns, and I’d like to clarify a few points about why these guitars are priced as they are and what makes them special. Firstly, the guitars we offer are handmade by master luthiers who dedicate more than 150 hours of meticulous work to each instrument. This process involves not just crafting the guitar but also carefully selecting and preparing the materials, ensuring that every detail contributes to the instrument's unique voice and playability. The value of these guitars lies not only in the materials but also in the expertise and craftsmanship that go into making each one a true work of art. While it might seem that the sound of these guitars is similar, especially when heard through speakers or recordings, the true difference becomes apparent when you play them in person. Classical guitarists typically perform unamplified, relying solely on the natural sound of the instrument. This is where the subtle nuances, dynamics, and "color" of the guitar come into play. These terms might sound abstract, but they refer to how the guitar resonates, responds to the touch, and projects sound in different settings. For a classical guitarist, these qualities are essential for expressing their artistry. Moreover, the relationship between a guitarist and their instrument is deeply personal. A finely crafted guitar offers a certain feel in the hands, allowing the artist to connect with it on a level that goes beyond sound alone. It's about how the instrument responds to the player's technique, how it inspires them, and how it helps them convey their musical ideas to the audience. While investing in a good microphone might improve the recorded sound of a less expensive guitar, it won't replicate the rich, nuanced sound that a high-quality, handmade guitar produces naturally. And in live, unamplified performances, the superior craftsmanship of these instruments truly shines through. I hope this helps to explain the value behind these instruments and why they are cherished by classical guitarists around the world. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
@@SiccasGuitars man I'm sorry for being rude it's just that I'm poor and I play guitar but can never afford one of siccas guitar and I couldn't hear a noticeable difference through speakers of my device so I got angry which was not appropriate Sorry mate Thanks for the explanation Maybe one day if I had a little.bit of money I can buy your beginner models
The brightness of that spruce top really stood out. It would be brutal to have to choose between any of them, but if forced I'd have to go for the Kim Lissarrague, amazing sustain.
Very nice perspective....hmmm I'm going to listen a little more objectively in future...I am going to check out another guitar soon...o am no maestro but I do enjoy the tones of many other guitars moreso than my own. Maton of Australia has produces some real rich tones...
I'm just an amateur but my reaction is that I would prefer a blend of the contrasting sounds of the warmth of the cedar top and the clarity of the spruce. Could a guitar top include both woods?
Would you like to play something, a chord a note? Me: Procedes to play G chord. Ana: Sure, starts with Recuerdos de la Alhambra (guess for her, very simple). A legend. 🤣🤣
i see lots of great comments about Ana...yeah,we also love her. lol...she is like superstar in Croatia. But there is a young guitar player who plays the instrument from age 4 and he made his first composition a year later. Great Tommy Emmanuel took him as his student....sort of. His name is Frano Živković so check him out
How fantastic Ana's playing is, her interpretation, etc., and such a nice person, I personally am not the biggest fan of the Jim Redgate, and in general lattice braced guitars. But how she tells about her guitar, it is not just the sound, playability, I agree totally that without the connection, it just doesn't work. And how she looks at the guitar, she is still in love with it... So, it is the right guitar for her, no doubt. Based on the guitars reviewed, the sound, I would go for the Michael Cadiz. But I have to hold it in my hands to be able to feel the connection. And as a lefty, that is the most challenging thing. Just by listening to all the different guitars, and to the different players (concerts), it really helps to develop me to be a better guitarist, to help my "guitar" hearing. To the entire team of Siccas Guitars, keep on going with the good work. I'm looking forward to Ana's concert! A beautiful Christmas present.
I want a guitar like Ana's for Christmas.

Lucky you are to play Ana Vidovic's guitar. Lucky I was too, to see her at her concert in Barcelona 3 weeks ago.
Its very hard to pick which guitar i would prefer because they all sound and look amazing , having got ceder top guitars i would go for spruce top for my next guitar but by which luther be hard to choose ,have to spend a few hours of playing comparison , also love your videos you two guys make a great double act
I liked the third (Annette), a very nice voice.
The last belonging to the lady, did sound well played, but I don't think it had a voice!!
What a delight to watch and listen to this vidoe. I found myself crying listening to Anna and you playing her magnificent guitar
Nice to hear "This Time" by Earl Klugh. While not a classical guitarist, he is the main reason I am trying to learn to play myself.

These terms might sound abstract, but they refer to how the guitar resonates, responds to the touch, and projects sound in different settings. For a classical guitarist, these qualities are essential for expressing their artistry.
Moreover, the relationship between a guitarist and their instrument is deeply personal. A finely crafted guitar offers a certain feel in the hands, allowing the artist to connect with it on a level that goes beyond sound alone. It's about how the instrument responds to the player's technique, how it inspires them, and how it helps them convey their musical ideas to the audience.
While investing in a good microphone might improve the recorded sound of a less expensive guitar, it won't replicate the rich, nuanced sound that a high-quality, handmade guitar produces naturally. And in live, unamplified performances, the superior craftsmanship of these instruments truly shines through.
I hope this helps to explain the value behind these instruments and why they are cherished by classical guitarists around the world. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
@@SiccasGuitars man I'm sorry for being rude it's just that I'm poor and I play guitar but can never afford one of siccas guitar and I couldn't hear a noticeable difference through speakers of my device so I got angry which was not appropriate
Sorry mate
Thanks for the explanation
Maybe one day if I had a little.bit of money I can buy your beginner models
The brightness of that spruce top really stood out. It would be brutal to have to choose between any of them, but if forced I'd have to go for the Kim Lissarrague, amazing sustain.
Fabulous! This was by far the best lecture on music I’ve ever watched. Thankyou for sharing your amazing knowledge with us!
World's most famous guitar, that's easy, Jimmy Page's double neck, most iconic guitar in history!
Very nice perspective....hmmm I'm going to listen a little more objectively in future...I am going to check out another guitar soon...o am no maestro but I do enjoy the tones of many other guitars moreso than my own. Maton of Australia has produces some real rich tones...
I'm just an amateur but my reaction is that I would prefer a blend of the contrasting sounds of the warmth of the cedar top and the clarity of the spruce. Could a guitar top include both woods?
Would you like to play something, a chord a note?
Me: Procedes to play G chord.
Ana: Sure, starts with Recuerdos de la Alhambra (guess for her, very simple). A legend.
🤣🤣
i see lots of great comments about Ana...yeah,we also love her. lol...she is like superstar in Croatia. But there is a young guitar player who plays the instrument from age 4 and he made his first composition a year later.
Great Tommy Emmanuel took him as his student....sort of.
His name is Frano Živković so check him out
Next try react Fingerstyle guitar from indonesia _ Alip Ba Ta cover " Bohemian Rhapsody "
10:45 Composition name please :) The Cadiz sounded the most soulful and piercing.
Such a wonderful and relaxing time that this video affords. I love the music that the classical guitarist produces. Thank you so much!
How fantastic Ana's playing is, her interpretation, etc., and such a nice person, I personally am not the biggest fan of the Jim Redgate, and in general lattice braced guitars. But how she tells about her guitar, it is not just the sound, playability, I agree totally that without the connection, it just doesn't work. And how she looks at the guitar, she is still in love with it... So, it is the right guitar for her, no doubt. Based on the guitars reviewed, the sound, I would go for the Michael Cadiz. But I have to hold it in my hands to be able to feel the connection. And as a lefty, that is the most challenging thing.
Just by listening to all the different guitars, and to the different players (concerts), it really helps to develop me to be a better guitarist, to help my "guitar" hearing.
To the entire team of Siccas Guitars, keep on going with the good work.
I'm looking forward to Ana's concert! A beautiful Christmas present.
