  • I’m always drawn to the Australian lattice-top guitars. Full, balanced and musical. I especially like that they are free of tonal quirks. The other one the grabbed me was the Bouchet copy.

  • It is very interesting to be able to hear so many different instruments "neck to neck". In this episode I am surprised to love the australian one over the others. I am normally leaning towards the light built guitars with high physical response in the materials.

  • I love the Bernabe
    for tonal variations colors and balance. It has a beautiful tone without being so dominant in sound . The Aquado is similar. I never heard a lattice bracing that I like too one dimensional!

  • I notice that you choose very specific Knobloch string sets for many of your guitars. What influences your choice for each instrument?

    Reply
  • Just for clarification, is the Aguado the 1955 one as mentioned in the video, or the 1959 as written?
    The Aguado is to my liking, although the Tacchi is also absolut amazing.

  • Thanks a lot! I would pick the Kim Lissarague ???? sounds strong, open, sensitiv and just promising. Thanks again Julian!

  • Very Sad to see what is going to happen in the years to come. Downhill, even the wood nowadays is rubbish!
    All the best to all guitar lovers, quickly own any of the old-timer pieces. Soon we will be playing plastic!

  • Oh man. My absolute dream guitar would be a Bernabe Sr. Honestly, anything crafted by his hands would be a dream come true.

    Reply
  • The Bernabe is the standout for me, followed by the Aguado (the bass was a bit overpowering). It was hard to judge the Romanillos as it was not in tune. I would have to put the Tachai slightly ahead of the Romanillos. Next comes the Belair which I found a bit too sharp. Lastly for me was the Lisserague as I’m not a fan of lattice guitars which sound nasal and lack tonal variation.

  • É muito difícil dizer qual desses grandes instrumentos é melhor. Gostei muito do Romanillos, do Lissarrague e do Hernandez Y Aguado. Ao ouvi-los no modesto som do celular, todos são muito bons.

    Reply
  • No one is the Best – they all are great guitars – I would like to have them all!

    Reply
  • Amazing guitars!!! I love the Aguado, Bernabé, Tacchi. Feels like cheating but may I choose the Tacchi for pieces require a powerful tone; the Bernabé for pieces with sweet lovely melody; Aguado for everything else XD

    Reply
  • As always a terrific Presentation. All the guitars sound great, but for me the Bernabe stands out. It has as a pure classic “Spanish” voice – striking a perfect balance between power, presence, color, and sustain. It also looks as beautiful as it sounds.

    Reply
  • That Tacchi is incredibly tempting. And the Bernabe! Every time I try to narrow my next guitar down between for example, a Bernabe, Tacchi, or Oldiges, I watch these videos and struggle again ????.

    You are correct to say that all of these guitars are of the same class, but each has it's own particular sonic world. Focusing on those kinds of differences, which express the goals of the luthier, rather than trying to "critique" or talk about the "negatives" would be more interesting to me (also helpful in deciding which guitars to audition).

    Reply
  • My first impression, but I have to listen again, and maybe edit this comment after, is as follows:- My immediate first 3 choices are: 1st Tachi, 2nd Aguado, 3rd Bernabe, and for the rest, I have to listen again.

  • Hernandez y Aguado a definite and absolute first. That is what the perfect guitar sounds like. The other makers would be a lot better served to simply pick one of those, study it, and aim to produce its sound. Bernabe A distance second. Pretty sound but a distinct lack of bass. The Romanillos high body resonance at G sharp was rather disappointing. Belair had one of the nicer sounding doubletop guitars I have lately heard. It could actually take third place over the Romanillos. Tacchi’s guitar almost gave me tachycardia. I don’t think that even Paco de Lucía could play a fast scale on it. Not in any way a typical Italian guitar. Lissarague, Great volume for sure, and nice Bass, nothing like a good Santos guitar bass but still nice. However, the volume is accomplished at a deep expense of beautiful sound. I don’t know why we can’t love the classical guitar the way it is. The Hernandez y Aguado guitar is a strong proof that the guitar was perfected a long time ago. Its romantic charm and beauty is unmatched. It is so disappointing that many performers do not play these beautiful guitars in their concerts.

  • I love the traditional sound of the Bernabe guitar and the warm tones of the Aguado guitar. I can just imagine what the Bernabe will sound like after it's been played for a year or two! Of the guitars in today's video which do you find the most comfortable and easy to play difficult passages on?
