Does Size Matter? Luthier-built Guitars

- Happy accidents! The best and most humbling way of accepting one's flaws, which may well lead to progress. I think this is such an occasion.
Mic wise - I'm very silly! I do own a Stealth microphone from Aston too, which is an end address, and I just got them confused. This is an Aston Spirit. It's been a while since I've got the old recording gear out... maybe I could've gone without this particular happy accident. Sorry guys.
Subsequently, the sound waves are being bounced around a little bit and the sound isn't super pure. I'm noticing that it is for sure suffering in the environment of the workshop, free from acoustic panels and lots of open wall space capable of bouncing lots of sound waves. You can particularly hear this in the bass.
Leave a comment and we can all bully Hugo into letting me infiltrate his studio and record the Tyger guitar properly! Hope you can salvage something from this. If not, it was fun anyway and nice to introduce you to the guitars!
The walnut guitar is safely in it's new home, now, and it was as fun as I thought it was going to be to hand over the guitar to it's new home.
Catch you next time, let me know which guitar you prefer!

Ms. Daisy, you don't give yourself enough credit with your playing. It needs to be said. Every time you have, it sounded amazing.
I agree. Luther's never have much regard for their own playing, ND players never have much regard for their set up work.
You young lady are absolutely amazing. What an amazing talent you have.
WOW the resonance is amazing so much harmonic information even unfretted
Fascinating how just hearing the drone resonance of each guitar immediately changed the way I sang a song I'm learning. Even though the melody remained basically the same, I was making a clearer sound and new notes came in certain key places, which improved the phrasing. So, thank you for this video about sound.
The Welsh walnut back is insanely gorgeous. If it weren't on an instrument already, I'd be happy to frame that book matched pattern and hang it on my wall.
Great video - I adore your honesty in this. I empathize with getting the wrong computer files. It’s so difficult to keep them sorted. Microphone placement and room acoustics -are so very challenging. Your excitement and ability to laugh at yourself reminds me of my 29 y/o daughter, Mary. Thanks.
I really enjoyed your comparison. I am just starting to learn, and I want to hear what's happening intelligently. stephen3073's observations will allow me to rehear this in a better way.
The flamed sycamore neck is a great contrast to the usual dark tones. Does the neck timber type effect the tone?
As for files, as an OCD I always name mine systematically and meaningfully so the contents are obvious. I also have a systematic folder naming routine. It just saves so much time later.
I think the word “idiot“ here is defined as acknowledging and disclosing mistakes that most people make yet ignore or deny. The former, quite obviously, leads to something (two things) beautiful while latter is stagnation. You amaze!
Daisy, I really enjoy your videos. The smaller guitar sounds more expressive and articulate. The large one is just so smooth. The sustain of both was amazing. Guitars are very personal. The love that goes into your work really shows. I'm sure she will be over the moon.
The contrast is most clearly pointed by the smaller Spanish guitar of the early baroque, by comparison with the huge Mexican beasts.
The guitars you make are absolutely beautiful. Your craftsmanship is impeccable! And you play amazing. I hope that you do make more RUclips videos. I love watching them.
Yeah, artists suck at the formal math and logistics, and it always costs the artist money. You're in good company, Daisy. The guitars both look and sound great. Keep making sawdust.
Great work as always, I prefer the brightness of the smaller guitar. Shame we couldn’t see the reaction of the girlfriend receiving her gift guitar.
WOW! Raucous applause for Daisy and her creations! Both guitars sound magnificent. Super responsive, very even in balance from low to mid to high, great, colorful overtones developing, sustain is off the charts, and the clarity is pure and crystalline. And to think, as they accrue a bit of age and playing time, they will continue to sound more complex and colorful. It's a kind of alchemy, rendered in wood, and made into the most splendid musical sounds. If they sound this good right out of the starting gate, they will achieve the quality of legend in a very short time. It's also quite evident that your level of craft wisdom is highly advanced. And your aesthetic sensibilities are pure elegance. Daisy, you have greatness all over you!
Beautiful woods used. That Welsh walnut is amazing.
Thank you for sharing all the 'Bob Ross' moments it adds a lot.
Both those guitars sounded fantastic.
Hugo....sounds like a great partnership and yes use his skills
Daisy, I think it's wonderful that you are so committed to your work and that you are looking for perfection. be proud of yourself! The best thing about this video is that you are moved by the great sound your guitar produces. That's called passion for your work! You are great!
Wowzers! Those are two absolutely beautiful instruments. When you said about the walnut wood coming from the lady's hometown, I nearly lost it. Silly old fool that I am......
I think your customer is going to be really happy with that smaller guitar. It sounds lovely.
As a parlor guitar maker, I am biased toward the smaller guitar. I just love the gentle tone of a smaller guitar. Both guitars are gorgeous and sound fantastic
Some years ago I purchased a guitar for one of my sons. We went to a large guitar shop near Birmingham and got to listen to a wide range of guitars of different makes, sizes, woods and price. The biggest difference to my untrained ear was with size.i much preferred the larger jumbo sized guitar which had a warmth and richness that the standard smaller body guitars didn't. Not very scientific but they were like an expensive soft red wine. We didn't buy an oversize because back then my son wine wasn't the 6ft+ rock climber he is now. If someone could make a standard size that sounded like the jumbos we listened to they might be on a winner.
Your instruments are not only works of art they have the such clear rich tone that you feel in your soul.
Holy crap! I didn't know there's a harmonic at the end of the fret board! I've played for 15+ years. Must be because I learned by ear without instruction. It has its pros and cons. Thank you Daisy, you're always great, funny too ;)
Small one sounds really sweet but the big one has as expected more of everything. Proportions of the bigger one are fantastic.
As far as I can tell, the big one sounds like it has more body (derrr right?) and the smaller one while less body, it isn't lacking, an it sounds slightly brighter. Really, they both sound great.
I'm really impressed at how you rolled with the mistakes, and well, making two mistakes in a row is the kind of thing I'd do tbh.
You make great work, no reason to be embarrassed.
That sounds beautiful. Thanks, Daisy.
As a guitarist, singer/songwriter, and live sound and recording engineer, I'd love to see how Hugo approaches capturing an acoustic guitar performance on one of your instruments. It is always interesting to see how different people approach it.
Fantastic to watch the artist playing and enjoying what she has built. I really enjoyed this. Watching someone use a knife I've made, or read a story I've written, doesn't quite compare to the look on your face as you make music with what you've crafted. Inspirational, Ma'am.
I think both guitars sound beautiful. The smaller body seems to have a slightly higher pitch resonance, as one might expect, but they have a kind of tonal equality, in that one can tell the same luthier built them both. How fortunate the new owners are to be able to commission these beauties, and eventually take them home. One of my favorite bands, Del Amitri uses DADGAD for many of their great songs, with/without capo. Would be interesting to hear Justin play a few of their songs on one of your guitars someday. Cheers.
How awesome Daisy, You tripled the size of your luthierie business with just 2 clicks on the computer!😂🤣👌
Watching you be so excited about what you build is fantastic.😊
You are an artist that has learned how to make wood sing.😉
It is a true pleasure watching you refine your craft.
You have a wonderful talent, be excited, it looks great on you!😁
Your expressions while playing and demonstrating; however...😬😂🤣
Have a fabulous week Daisy!🦢🤙
Always enjoy your contributions, but this was especially interesting. ‘Happy accidents’ happen all the time in hand-building a guitar. I’m just finishing an all Koa body OM-style guitar and ‘accidentally’ applied the same stain to the Mahogany neck. The difference between how it looks on Koa to Mahogany is stunning and strangely complimentary.
I don't know much about harmonics or tone, but I can spot enthusiasm right off. If your instruments convey the quality of sound that you do in passion, there is no doubt as to the level of craftsmanship. Top shelf, I say.
The smaller guitar sounds so good! Love the matching colour of the Rosetta and the woods! I wouldn’t mind one myself!!!!
Very happy accident!!!👏👏
actually the position of the mike may be right for an instrument. This way the sound ins’t being blasted straight at the microphone. Give it a test, microphone pointed directly at the guitar, and thenpointed straight up. Listen and pick the way you like best. Definitely enjoyed this video, and enjoy when you make them. And you don’t need to calm down, love you enthusiasm.
They both sound fantastic.
For my own tastes and playing I like the softer attack on the big one, but the sustain and decay on the smaller one is gorgeous -- she rings like a perfectly cast bronze bell.
You called the smaller-bodied guitar “folky,” it made me think of Led Zeppelin’s acoustic material. That might be a different way of saying the same thing, but having heard the whole video now I think the best way to describe it is “beautiful.” Thanks for sharing the story as well as the instruments.
Sounds incredibly vibrant to my ear.
Both guitars are absolutely stunning, both in looks, size and sounds, thank you for sharing your fantastic skills with us.😊
Another fun video! Thank you.
Both sounded good. I'm a big dude, but I'm starting to appreciate small guitars more and more. Looking forward to your next happy accident!
I find comparisons very difficult because each instrument has its own life. Some kind of standard process could be helpful. Standard excerpts that emphasize:
Articulation
Resonance (balance of fundamental to overtones)
Sustain
are what I am thinking about. Resonance could be measured with a frequency spectrum sweep like we do when measuring loudspeakers (free software called REW). Sustain we can measure in seconds (also using REW) and articulation needs a killer player.
In any case, your work is AMAZING and I am looking forward to more sound samples.
Daisy: Both guitars are beautiful; beautiful workmanship (make that workwomanship); with beautiful, very resonant sound. The larger one sounds "warmer', with the bass coming through (to my ears) a little more. And as you noted, it is louder. I imagine for many people it sounds more like what they expect a guitar to sound like and, thus, may be preferred. The smaller one is "brighter", "livelier", and has a beautiful tone, too. I'm sure a lot of people would prefer it. Without the side-by-side comparison most people probably wouldn't notice anything different or lacking about its sound. As with most things it comes down to individual taste/preference. And, yes, learning/understanding more is always good, so Hugo should provide you some mic information/coaching. :-)
Wow! Just wow! Love the shape and appointments.
They both sound great!
Wow, great work! Both guitars look and sound incredible. The smaller guitar has a delightful brightness to its tone, while the larger model has a profound depth.
The light marble on the walnut back, floating into the neck is really beautiful!
Wonderful resonance on both. I know which I prefer. Bot that doesn't matter as long as the recipient enjoys her new instrument.
You should be very proud of your work. I've never heard an acoustic guitar with such extended sustain. Your 'little lady' just rings on and on... I really like the timber she makes as well. Very pretty tone. I haven't visited your channel in a while. Your business has come a long way. Wishing you all the best. 🌞
Well, it that is where accidents lead you, you should welcome them. Two fabulous equally desirable guitars. I guess that since my preference is for smaller bodies I would be looking at the powerful Lady, as you put it. The Welsh Walnut is a definite draw. And would I love to have been at that dinner! Must have been very rewarding for you Daisy. Love your work, oh and your unique Rosette design is Fab.
Very nice work Daisy.
Always amazed what a beautiful work you are doing 😍😍
Beautiful instruments and a great video! Cheers Dave
So happy to see you back. I look forward to every build and you make no mistakes, only adjustments. I love the wood choices you use. Excellent work as always.
Both of those guitars are amazing Daisy! The sound and sustain on both are terrific! Well done and keep up the great work that you do. Would really enjoy hearing you play more often as well. Cheers! 👍👍🎸🎸💖💖
Hi Daisy. Love your videos 😊. In my very limited experience, heavy guitars can give lots of loudness/sustain. Jumbos and dreadnoughts are often good for low bass register. Both of your guitars sound amazing, even with dodgy mic placement 😂
Both very nice guitars with a lot of warmth and clarity. Congrats!
They're both lovely. Incredible sustain.
The off axis sound isn't bad at all! Both sound lovely! I really like the smaller guitar, but I like smaller bodied instruments in general and walnut is one of my most favourite woods.
Wow, what gorgeous guitars! Amazing sustain on them! Thank you for sharing them!
Daisy, there are no idiots... just AI individuals (accuracy impaired) lovely instruments !!!
Beautiful Workmanship. And Playing, LOVE your CHANNEL!!! The medulla rays in those Tops is Phenomenal.
I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one that stresses to the max on delivery days! Polish, polish, polish until the customer walks in the door.
Good Morning Daisy!! Always a joy to see you!
I was missing videos from this channel. Brilliant, educational and amusing stuff Daisy. Glad to see things going very well indeed.
Two BEAUTIFUL guitars! Nicely done as always Daisy!
Both are beautiful guitars. I am drawn more to the smaller one. I love the flamed sycamore neck and head plate. Great job!!! You're not an idiot. You made a few honest mistakes and made the best of it.
Daisy, I would love to learn more about what your thinking ,such as the term ‘attack’. What other thoughts you have would be a great insight into your mind. I love how you genuinely express your feelings:it’s a refreshing intimate moment of how you’re one of those amazing people I’m glad are here in this timeline but sadly will never have the pleasure of having a coffee with. Great videos.
You're wonderful Daisy. Beautiful guitars! 😊🙏
Those woods look incredible. Gorgeous instruments.
Both sound absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't pick a favourite.
The small one I adore! The sound n tone focus is just perfect! But I'd want the larger one as well!
They sound beautiful as well as looking beautiful
Wow. They both sound amazing!
I've been watching and enjoying for a year, or more but don't think I've actually heard the results of your work before ('cept maybe a uke?). Crisp, clean, tonally beautiful and just wonderful sustain.
Beautiful wood, beautifully wrought, And the home grown walnut for the Welsh lass? Utterly priceless. Look forward to hearing how that delivery goes. I'm tearing up just thinking about it, lol.
Love this!! 😂 thanks for sharing 👍
Both guitars are absolutely gorgeous!! Love that pink too!

Awesome close up!
Beautiful work!
Beautiful guitars.
I love the design and wood choice.
Just wow !!!
I think they both sound great ! You are an amazing maker stunning works of art ! And they sound wonderful .cheers
Both are beautiful, great sounding guitars, and I love that body shape. Great work!
Beautiful sound and so simple and tasteful design (no kitch details). Wish you the best young lady! 🌹
Daisy, you have a winner there, you are very talented. Cheers!
Beautiful instruments as always Daisy, thanks for the stories too, your client must be so thrilled 😁
They both sound remarkable.
I find your vids deeply inspiring. You have an artists sensibility with a masterful craftsman's skill. Could never afford one of your pieces, but damn they are beautiful.
Whatever you have done, it sounds good enough for the demo. Great video content.
I don't play guitar, and never plan on building one, but I love your channel. I think both guitars are awesome!
Thank you for sharing the sound comparison. The sustain in both instruments is outstanding. Very lovely.
Amazing builds and wonderful story on the gift one! Had me smiling ear to ear (your reaction/excitement a big part) :)
i also wonder how many hours it will take for the 'oops' one to sell. Yes...hours...not days or weeks
Wonderful craftsmanship. :)
It is amazing that you are a modern day Luthier! I look forward to more of your spectacular work!!!
Your guitars are really beautiful. Your playing was also. I enjoyed it.
To my untrained ear they both have wonderful sound. When it comes down to it what fits the layer signifies more. I love the significance of the walnut back.
Hi ! Your guitars are both incredible, as usual. I prefer the big one but both are interesting in a way.
Thank you for sharing your smile and your great woodworking! ❤
I'm amazed by how talented you are.
Bonsoir from Canada, Daisy! I am researching "the" sound I am after and I am about to commission a small jumbo guitar from a luthier friend of mine (hopefully for the end of this year, 2024). I applaud this presentation of yours as the microphone picked up the nuances of one guitar size versus the other. I am a dreadnought guy (Larrivée, Martin and a sole Gibson J-45 "sustainable" in the mix), so I am partial to the sound of your bigger one... That was the one with the funky harmonic amplication, right? Anyway, merci so much for making us appreciate a luthier's dedication to his or her craft. Play on, everyone, no matter where your particular musical taste lies... Au revoir!
That's a beautiful sound you've created with that guitar Daisy. Someone's going to be a very proud owner let's hope they create some music that does justice to your creativity.
You are amazingly talented. Make more videos. 🥰great storytelling. A delightful little lady. 🤗
Beautiful guitars Daisy, they both sounded really nice to me, you’re sound engineer is correct and funny 🤣 no doubt they would sound amazing in real life, an intimate gig for example. Love the different timber species gives great sound, feel and looks xx
Wow! Outstanding.
Those 2 are Beautiful guitars !!
Both beautiful guitars Daisy, I have to say, I prefer the smaller guitar, but my own favorite guitar is an OM model. I always find it amazing how guitars sound so different depending on where you are hearing them from, they sound totally different when playing them to being in front of them. Amazing skills, keep the good work up
Daisy, I have followed you for some time and watching and hearing your development has been for me a rewarding experience, thank you. To answer your question comparing the sound of guitars you have built is very interesting. An idea for this would to perform a set piece for of course you may not have again your guitar for comparison but you will have the recording.
So many people discount the sapwood on walnut. You did a fantastic job integrating it into the look. Love it.
Sweet sounding guitars!! Love it!! Now I wanna get a new guitar !!!
