5 thoughts on “Traditional or double top classical guitar?

  • Enjoyed your video very much. I own two Milburn guitars – a 2004 traditional Spruce/Brazilian Hauser style and a 2016 Double-top – Cedar over Cedar with African Blackwood back and sides. I can't tell you how beautiful the traditional guitar sounds (I'm in heaven when I play it). The double top is good, definitely louder, and has some sizzle to the tone, but is just not as sweet. Many years ago, when I first heard of lattice-braced and double-top guitars, I joked that someone would make a lattice-braced, double-top guitar! And now they have, with a raised fingerboard too! Seems gimicky, but why not? Thanks for your posting this.

  • Very interesting Goran. I have a friend who makes double top guitars. I play a flamenco guitar made 60 years ago in Andalucia and it has developed a beautiful sustain. It is impossible to tell how these instruments will develop but they are both beautiful.

  • Do you advice to use carbon strings or nylon strings on the Altamira guitar ? Will both work well with it ?
