Comments

 

Ken is a truly gifted luthier.  The workmanship, his choices, the clean lines, and the brilliant resonance of this instrument is truly magnificent.  The high trebles really sing while the lows boom at you.  Separation of voice coupled with a romantic personality leaves you with a very special guitar.  The shallower neck (versus a typical D profile) allows for ease of play that is rather surprising.

 

Sound Files Prelude #10 - A Father Remembers (dry) - this excerpt from the piece was recorded on August 10, 2009.  Sound is straight thru with no noise reduction, no filters, nothing,

Prelude #10 - A Father Remembers - (wet) - Same recording as above except that a level 55 reverb is added to relieve any dryness.

The recording is a quick run thru, not complete, with plenty of hiccups, etc....sorry about that, just trying to get the recording of the "guitar" itself out.  Rich

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
