Beautiful guitar from Dake, she just arrived.   Powerful and lyrical, excellent work all around.   I’ll write more when I sit with the guitar.

Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended including EQ manipulation, if possible. We record everything flat with just a touch of Reverb to relieve dryness. My goal is to record the guitar as realistically as is possible. I speak in the recordings, my thoughts about the guitar (and possibly other things?).  My speaking also serves to give you my first impressions and to also give you a balance of the engineering (or lack thereof).  I simply do not have time to engineer much of anything.  Thanks. Rich

MP3 Audio – traphagen-cerridwen – a superb guitar in volume, voice, clarity and coloration.  Dake is a true master builder.  I could have played all day on Cerridwen.

So I love this guitar, and wanted to record it again, for the New Year.  Very off the cuff, no warm-up, just wanted to hear the warmth and roundness of the guitar.   I’ve lowered the Reverb to barely perceptible (at least to my ear).  All recordings will be at this level from now on.  No engineering, off the cuff, real in other words, and that’s my only goal here.  Rich
