| Comments |
Workmanship is superb, woods are attractive, the guitar is quite loud,
projects magnificently, ringing and resonant, holding a sweet
voice (getting sweeter), maintaining excellent separation and clarity of
voice, while the basses are giving much boom boom. The neck is very accommodating, allowing those
tight 2,3,4 finger inserts, while maintaining low action, no buzzes,
with superb sound. There is everything to love about this guitar.
This is another in a series of elegant and masterful instruments from a gentleman luthier to
a master player. An appraisal of this instrument values it at a
minimum of $5495 |
| Sound Files |
Double from Violin Partita I by Bach - This is the double following the Tempo di Borea. Sound is
recorded
straight thru with no filters of any kind except
to add slight reverb to relieve any dryness. For those interested, the
transcription is from my
Book of Bach Violin
Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 |

Pete Barthell offers a minimum 6 month warranty for a new
instrument not including Finish. Regardless, it has been taken care of by me,
stored 100% of the time in its case within my studio which is
environmentally controlled. Everything about the guitar is
solid and stable. This does not mean that it will not need
regular maintenance, just as any other concert guitar would need.
Please note there is an additional 5% restocking fee as discussed on the guitar
page if it is returned for whatever reason.
