the slightest bit of checking is apparent. This is expected
given its maturity and play time. |
| Playability |
This is a professional's
instrument that plays quite easily. It is not too high, but there may be room to lower
it. Just as the 1987 Ioannou, I wouldn't. The setup,
which is well nigh perfect, is designed to maximize the soundboard's power and projection. It
certainly does not
disappoint! |
| Intonation |
Perfect. |
| Sound |
Warm, lyrical, singing trebles, booming
basses, clarity of voice is immediately apparent |
| Projection |
Extremely powerful |

| Comments |
This exceptional classical
guitar, built by Nicholas Ioannou hailing from upstate New York , feels
intimate once in your hands but is explosive in nature from its clarity
of voice to its warmth, sweetness and finally its extraordinary volume.
Built from the finest materials, Nicholas leaves nothing to be desired
when it comes to his meticulous construction. Ioannou's are played by
concert guitarists all over the European continent rarely coming up for
sale. I am fortunate to have 2 of his instruments for sale. The asking
price for this guitar is well below the European market price, where his
instruments easily sell for the equivalent of $10,000 or more.
The guitar is close to
perfect given its young 16 years of age. Regarding a Master Grade
Spruce Top...this is exactly what you want regarding aging, mellowing
and pure balance of sound. This guitar has all of that and more.
An Ioannou classical guitar is a prize to be cherished.

Prelude #10 - A Father Remembers
- this was recorded on August 21, 2008. Sound is straight thru
with no noise reduction, no filters, nothing, except reverb is added to
relieve any dryness. For those interested in the piece, I wrote
this in dedication to my father. It is about a nightmare I had
where I lost my children. Sub-titled
Un Padre si Ricorda
Valerie's Air - dedicated to and written for my wife...guess her
name? :-) Same as above, no noise reduction...etc... |
