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.
Amazing. Your guitars ring like a bell. I rarely run across a channel that immediately makes me sit up and want to binge watch all of the creators content. I wish you many years of continuing success and happiness.
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.
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!
Oh my word what amazing instruments you make! The jigs weren’t mistakes you have just broadened your ‘catalogue’ and included more potential happy guitarists. To have a guitar like yours as a first guitar will be such a thrill! Well done.
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
They are both very beautiful. The Tasmanian Tyger Myrtle is awesome. What a beautiful wood. Love seeing your passion for what you do. Keep it coming Daisy.
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.
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.
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.
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! 👍👍🎸🎸💖💖
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.
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.
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.
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.
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......
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.
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.
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.
Since the mic placement for both tests is the same the comparison works… also, we’re getting a good sense of the indirect ambient sound which may even be preferable… I will often record acoustic instruments this way to prevent false colouration of close micing… acoustic instruments are usually best heard at a distance (which is part of their design) so close micing can lose the point of the entire sound palette of the instrument… in the studio I will often use a combination of close and distant mics and off axis placement… I will listen back to each one individually and blend according to the natural audible tone by ear… love your work by the way… such passion and so inspiring with gentle intelligence! Big fan…
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.
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.
Those both sound incredible! (even with the mic mishap) I have truly fallen in love with small body guitars for my style of playing. I play with a melody focused fingerstyle playing that really seems to be accentuated with the smaller more focused body. I'd love to play one of your guitars, even if I couldn't afford to buy it. Thanks for posting these videos. I now have building a guitar on my bucket list.
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.
The sound is very rich, vibrant, good attack and sustain and lots of overtones that make that rich harmonic environment our ears love! You build amazing guitars!
Incredible craftmanship - seriously amazing works of art. Both guitars sounded amazing with outstanding sustain. To my ear, through the recording, I preferred the smaller body and there was something unique about the top and bottom sounds too. The new owners are incredibly lucky ! Would love to hear how it turns out and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store.
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 just now finished watching the build for the Robb guitar. Hard to bring the words to praise you, it's difficult to see the keyboard thru teary eyes. I would think that you hearing the tone / harmonics reverberating brings pride and joy to you.SUBBED.
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!
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! ❤
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.
if i may if not me being too forward but i feel your exitement as to be somewhat like my way of bringing a smile to my self in self reflection , i use the freedom of music as a way to tele port my muse of guitar playing to find my self an unseen aduien but your an inspiration that gives me hope , thank you i loved you work , you are appretiated by a new "viewer" me ..
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
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!
I once had an acoustic guitar that was double the size of a regular. It made me look like the size of a child in pictures, and a pic of it is on the first song's thumbnail from our band. As far as sound difference, I can't remember, but when I got a new ac. guitar, it sounded much different.
Daisy, que sonido tan maravilloso lograste en las dos guitarras. En lo personal me gustó la mas pequeña, la parte de atras con esa columna vertebral blanca es alucinante. ¡¡Felicidades!! ¡¡Eres una GRAN artista!!
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 ;)
Both guitars are beautiful and beautifully made. I like how you used the walnut back with the lighter sap wood center. And both outside design of the bodies funneling perfectly to the sound hole with uninterrupted sound flow. 😉
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.
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.
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.
Another engaging video, Daisy. I too like to listen to strummed harmonics ring across as many strings as possible, depending on the tuning, and listen for the overtones to come out - notes that haven't been played can be heard arising from the interaction of the vibrations. Accurate tuning is needed for that to happen in the most effective way, of course.
Beautiful sound and gorgeous resonance. Sure, the ambient mic didn't pic up the attack but it does still give us an appreciation of the overall timbre of these beautiful guitars. Social media is so often not a good reflection of reality, and is usually only showing the best parts of people and their days, so it is refreshing to watch a video where someone is being human. 🙂
I liked both, but actually the small one was my favourite, if only just for the surprise element of the clear trebles! And again, the stories and origins of the ideas for the guitars and the materials just make that fifth element that make each unique and invaluable.
I loved this video and both guitars sounded wonderful; yes there was a greater degree of mellowness in the larger guitar which was so beautiful and the smaller one also sounded beautiful in its own unique way. The finish on both was amazing and your playing was so enjoyable if brief….thank you.
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.
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. :-)
I like them both for different reasons. My main guitar is probably a bit closer to the smaller one, and I just like the more even sound you get from a mid-size guitar. Not always a fan of the boominess you get in a dreadnaught. I've been following along since you were apprenticing, I really enjoy your humor and your honesty. Not being afraid to say when you've made a mistake. And as others have said, your playing is great, quit being so hard on yourself 😁
The larger guitar reminded me a bit of a Japanese built Epiphone Texan I had back in the '70s but yours is deeper and richer. (everyone complemented the sound on that guitar too) I really loved the sweetness of the smaller guitar as is befitting a lady. Small guitar but not weak sounding. Of the two I like the smaller one the best.
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.
They both sound beautiful. The smaller one had a lightly quieter mellow voice. I think both future owners will be so happy with what you have created. Isn't it sooo satisfying bringing something beautiful into existence that wasn't there before?!
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 😂
I love the character of the sustain on both guitars, especially the way the treble holds its own even on the larger guitar, when one might expect bass and mid frequencies to overwhelm. Gorgeous sounds and, of course, looks. I expect the playability will be pretty impressive too.

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.
WOW the resonance is amazing so much harmonic information even unfretted
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.
Sounds incredibly vibrant to my ear.
Amazing.
Your guitars ring like a bell.
I rarely run across a channel that immediately makes me sit up and want to binge watch all of the creators content.

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
Good Morning Daisy!! Always a joy to see you!
Both guitars are absolutely stunning, both in looks, size and sounds, thank you for sharing your fantastic skills with us.😊
They are both very beautiful. The Tasmanian Tyger Myrtle is awesome. What a beautiful wood. Love seeing your passion for what you do. Keep it coming Daisy.
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.
You young lady are absolutely amazing. What an amazing talent you have.
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.

I was missing videos from this channel. Brilliant, educational and amusing stuff Daisy. Glad to see things going very well indeed.
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.
Thank you for sharing the sound comparison. The sustain in both instruments is outstanding. Very lovely.
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.
It's easy to tell when you're passionate about something because your wpm almost doubles. I admire all your talents.Delightful playing to boot.
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.

Geez. Listen to the warmth, projection, sustain, and amazing harmonics!! Absolute masterpiece!!
That sounds beautiful. Thanks, Daisy.
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.

Wonderful resonance on both. I know which I prefer. Bot that doesn't matter as long as the recipient enjoys her new instrument.
It is amazing that you are a modern day Luthier! I look forward to more of your spectacular work!!!
The light marble on the walnut back, floating into the neck is really beautiful!
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.

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! ❤
Both sound great. But love the big one.... It has a depth and smoothness that is amazing.
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.

So many people discount the sapwood on walnut. You did a fantastic job integrating it into the look. Love it.
The harmonics …..phenomenal.. love them both. The swelling … my God you make beautiful instruments.
Beautiful guitars.
I love the design and wood choice.
Just wow !!!
The small one I adore! The sound n tone focus is just perfect! But I'd want the larger one as well!
Small one sounds really sweet but the big one has as expected more of everything. Proportions of the bigger one are fantastic.
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

Amazing instruments with wonderful sustain and resonance. Love the harmonic overtones. If pushed I would go for the myrtle. Wonderful!
The resonance and sustain on both Guitars are amazing
Daisy, que sonido tan maravilloso lograste en las dos guitarras. En lo personal me gustó la mas pequeña, la parte de atras con esa columna vertebral blanca es alucinante. ¡¡Felicidades!!
¡¡Eres una GRAN artista!!

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.
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!!!👏👏
I don't play guitar, and never plan on building one, but I love your channel. I think both guitars are awesome!
Wow! Just wow! Love the shape and appointments.
The sustain is UNBELIEVABLE
They both sound remarkable.
Your instruments are not only works of art they have the such clear rich tone that you feel in your soul.
Your work is fantastic and I enjoy watching your videos too! here's too many years of continued success . You deserve it
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.
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.
Another engaging video, Daisy. I too like to listen to strummed harmonics ring across as many strings as possible, depending on the tuning, and listen for the overtones to come out - notes that haven't been played can be heard arising from the interaction of the vibrations. Accurate tuning is needed for that to happen in the most effective way, of course.
Both sound absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't pick a favourite.
11:20 this gives me goosebumps plus tearing up a bit. The overtones are amazing. Wow 😳... The sustain is impressive.
Beautiful workmanship and attention to detail really enjoyed watching
Beautiful sound and gorgeous resonance. Sure, the ambient mic didn't pic up the attack but it does still give us an appreciation of the overall timbre of these beautiful guitars.

Beautiful Workmanship. And Playing, LOVE your CHANNEL!!! The medulla rays in those Tops is Phenomenal.
You are amazingly talented. Make more videos. 🥰great storytelling. A delightful little lady. 🤗
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.
Always amazed what a beautiful work you are doing 😍😍
Bigger one have really beauuuuuutiful tone and harmonics!
And love the pink details in the small one.
Recording was well c:

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.
Daisy, you have a winner there, you are very talented. Cheers!
They both sound beautiful. The smaller one had a lightly quieter mellow voice. I think both future owners will be so happy with what you have created. Isn't it sooo satisfying bringing something beautiful into existence that wasn't there before?!
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 😂
I love the character of the sustain on both guitars, especially the way the treble holds its own even on the larger guitar, when one might expect bass and mid frequencies to overwhelm. Gorgeous sounds and, of course, looks. I expect the playability will be pretty impressive too.
They're both lovely. Incredible sustain.
Whatever you have done, it sounds good enough for the demo. Great video content.
