  • I’m so sorry Chris but even your demo is really great, Cooper stole my soul with his.
    Instantly makes me want to buy the exact same guitar.
    Of course I know I don’t deserve it beeing a very poor guitarist for decades.
    Please tell us what is the track he plays.
    I keep coming back to listen to it when I want a little happyness in my mind.
    Absolutely brilliant !

  • The great jazz guitarist, Charlie Byrd, played a nylon string classical guitar. Were he alive today, I wonder what he would think of these crossovers.

  • Thanks for all of your great videos. I've reached the age where steel strings are killing my finger tips, so I recently purchased an Ibanez GA34. It's supposed to be sort of a crossover guitar, but I'm really having a hard time with the much less string tension. I've tried adjusting my technique and adjusting the truss rod just a bit, but nothing helps. I'm wondering if maybe a different crossover brand might be different? Any reply would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

  • I like the channel and the great information, but when a non – classical guitarist demonstrates
    the sound of a classical guitar, it makes a huge difference. It doesn’t give a good representation of the quality of the instrument.

  • You know, it is astonishing that their nylon still sound like a furch! IMO everyone should own a furch.. theres about 100 reasons to buy one, there isn’t a single bad thing about furch. Their stability is insane. I just played a gig yesterday that was outside, i live in Maine and its in the 40s right now and i tuned my yellow masters choice ONCE and it never came out of tune in 4 hours! I would love to get one of these.

  • Sounds beautiful! I’ve been using ball-end classical strings on a 1976 Eko Ranger 6 dreadnaught…. and it sounds and feels glorious… but I might get tempted to upgrade….

  • Chris, Cooper, thanks for checking our guitar! And thank you all for very positive comments. They are really motivating ????????

  • I play mostly classical. It doesn't have to be stodgy, if you're looking to give it a shot check out some modern composers: Andrew York, Yenne Lee, Claudia Montero. Lots of good stuff out there.

  • Nice vid, nice Guitar! Love the Furch series! You could also convert your Acoustic in a partial nylon and add some effects like I did here: https://youtu.be/QdYHhqoT_PI . You'll need some ball end nylon Strings and a ebay vibration pickup for the reverb… The classical nylon sound works amazing with Reverb…

  • As a major Taylor guitar dealer, how do you all justify offering Furch guitars which cosmetically, throughout their line up practically copy Taylor? Headstock, Bridge, and they even classify as the Grand Auditorium shape which Taylor created.
    In relation to a "Nylon" guitar for a steel string player, while Gibson Chet Atkins came first, Taylor advanced this concept and continue to sit at the top – well past and better than that Furch you presented.
    In regards to Czech craftsmanship… historically they're industrial.
    Edit Add: For me it's about Infringement, If Furch were an American company, Taylor could have easily sued and blocked the release and sale of these instruments, however, being covered under the EU, the legal enforcement would be lengthy and costly. So while legal, it certainly is not ethical.

  • That's a great sounding guitar. The bass sounds 'deep and smooth' as opposed to punchy. Very musical and the note definition, responsiveness and intonation sound spot on. I want one.

  • Both of my Furch guitars, a 6 and a 12 string, have the cedar top. Incredible tone and because of the bracing you really can't overwhelm them. I am a fingerstyle soloist and their instruments are the best in the market, true performers for reasonable price for the quality you get. Highly recommended

  • Wow! That is a great sounding nylon string. Not muddy like a lot of them. Nice clear tones from bass to treble. Misc playing Chris. Same for you as always Cooper. I had aTaylor NS-42 when they first came out but this one gives the Taylor a run for the money.

  • I see you guys still a little struggle with the pronunciation of the name Furch. It doesn't matter too much, but if you want to hear, how we pronounce it here in Czech Republic, listen to this (this dutch guy is spot on with the first form you will hear): https://youtu.be/MGmBPW7c2Tg?t=521 Anyway, very nice review! 😉

  • Very nice low and crispy high and the nut width is what I am looking for, and it is very rare for nylon guitars. Cider top is the top choice for classical guitars. It brings out the mellower and warmer sound of the classical guitarist.
