Seems you've got a knack for fixing up these old Harmony guitars, Tate! I never got around to fully fixing mine, but soon, perhaps. Nice deep bass response. So many of these are undervalued both at Goodwill and Guitar Center's used section, but they're reliable sounding instruments.
Thanks Josh! Yes, this one's bass response really surprised me. Harmony's are good stuff! I've got another Harmony steel string in the works now also. Maybe you feel the same way as I do but I feel like a personal responsibility to get these instruments fixed and back playing music again so their unique voice can be heard hahaha.
@@tateharmann3057 Totally agree. Maybe I'll even work on it tonight, you've motivated me. My latest project was a 1998 Esteve 1.4STE which was only $100 at Guitar Center because it was in "Fair" condition due to a dried out fretboard. I cleaned the metal frets and did two rounds of lemon oil and it looked good as new. Will do a string review then sell for a profit (hopefully, ha ha).
Hm, I don't recognise the piece? These old beginner guitars could be pretty good. My first classical guitar was a very old Kimbara that I rather regret getting rid of.
Well it's certainly not one of the more familiar preludes...and I don't play it very strictly tempo-wise. But I do know that at least a couple of big name guitarists have recorded it like Liona Boyd and Giulio Tampalini. Anyways, it's easily found in Delcamp D04! I've never heard of the Kimbara brand, I'll have to look that up!

@@Josh.Vanjani Nice! Profit I'd always good also. But even if there's no profit...the rescue in of itself is worth it LOL
