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*
