Extremely beautiful performance!
I love this piece by Ponce played here with warmth and sensitivity by Sheldon.
The guitar is beautiful (I applaud your choice of sustainable tone wood) and so is the piece. Do you know where I can find this lovely arrangement of 'Estrellita'?
This is Leonardo Bravo's arrangement, but he doesn’t sell the arrangement. If you contact him maybe he will give it to you.
Thank you! I will contact him.
A clear and very warm sounding guitar. Re the eveness of sound on all fretboard positions, especially on the first string, it is difficult to know without playing the guitar. Anyway, well-done on the new project and new instrument !
It’s not really a new project but thank you 👍
Very interesting, I checked out your web site on the use of bamboo. The guitar sounds great and the results of your comparison study on bamboo versus ziricote and padauk were impressive. Where do you source the bamboo? Clearly this is processed material, right?
Thanks!
Yeah the bamboo is a processed material. The specific material I use was manufactured somewhere in the EU (the Netherlands I think), but they no longer make it and I bought the last they had. I have been looking for another source of bamboo that would be suitable for guitar making for a while. I recently heard of another manufacturer in the US that makes a similar product. I am waiting on samples from them so I can see if it is any good.
Lovely sounding guitar, how much does the back and sides wood choice affect the sound?
Any thoughts on maple back and sides?
Bamboo makes a very nice guitar, but in my experience the material used for the back and sides makes very little difference to the sound. How it is built / how the material is used is all that matters. You can read more about my bamboo guitars here: www.evankingmaguitars.com/bamboo
And I love maple! Spruce/Maple traditional is pretty much the best in my opinion.
Lovely. May I ask what your recording setup is?
Video was recorded on a phone and audio was recorded with a Zoom Recorder
