    Classical guitars are our passion! We are specialized in the highest quality concert guitars as well as historic guitars from around the world. Our passion for these unique instruments and the joy to give guitarists, passionate players, and collectors the possibility to purchase their own appropriate instrument is the motivation that drives us. Another focus is to work closely with established and young, largely unknown luthiers. Together we want to develop new ideas and share experiences with our customers.
    We also recorded pieces for many great composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Astor Piazzolla and Isaac Albeniz (Asturias). You will also find almost all the classical music composers that wrote for the classical guitar. Make sure to discover Agustin Barrios Mangoré, Manuel Maria Ponce, Heitor Villa-Lobos and many more if you don't know their compositions already
    You can find our show room in 76137 Karlsruhe, Roonstr. 31, Germany

    Jim Redgate is a highly sought-after Australian luthier, known for his guitars built for artists such as Ana Vidovic, Pepe Roméro and Odair Assad. This lattice-braced model is an exact copy of the guitar that Ana Vidovic plays. Jim Redgate’s instruments have their own sound and touch. The breath-taking volume combined with rich harmonics and impressive clarity of sound are quite unique. The playability is fantastic, and the guitars are relatively light in weight compared to the Australian standard.
    We’ve of course heard Ana Vidovic in concert many times playing on a Redgate guitar, but this guitar convinced us even more of the quality of Jim’s work. The honesty and spontaneity of each note, the magnificent volume, the ease of playing, and the unique sound character of this guitar make it an instrument not only rare in Europe, but above all extremely enchanting.
    Luthier: Jim Redgate
    Construction year: 2019

    Back and sides: Bolivian rosewood

    There are 23 mhms in the video. Not considering the 8 second title at the beginning and the 8 second at the end of the video, the total length is 2 minute 35 second.
    So... 141 second divided by 23 mhm equals 1 mhm every 6,1 second in average. #dunnowhattosay

      This is a 2 year old comment but I almost gagged when I read it. "if not the best guitarist in the world." is one of the most grossly over exaggerated compliments you could ever give to someone so undeserving.
      I love her playing and I know she's accomplished, but she is far from the even the top 50 worlds best guitarist, let alone THE best haha.
      She's just one of the more famous. This doesn't mean she could play better than Tarrega, Segovia, Bream, Williams, or even David Russel, not to mention the amazing orient guitarists who could blow her out of the water as well.

      Dude, when you get personal advice from a literal legend in the field, you should feel honored and get motivated to improve. Anyone who can't take constructive criticism especially when it comes from an expert probably isn't cut out for this sort of thing anyway. The whole reason he probably did this was to get better and I bet he took the advice and is a far better player now.

    It actually happened to me almost a week ago when I had a short, 30 minute, masterclass with Jay Kacherski (Texas Guitar Quartet). I was like that the whole time, and, to make it even more akward, I was late. Definitely not one of my brightest moments, but absolutely a great experience. I just wish I had a little more time. Just to give a little bit of context, at the moment I'm a senior in high school student, I'm planning on being a Music Major, and the piece I performed was Prelude in D minor BWV 999.

    • @microcosm6871
      @microcosm6871 8 років тому +2

      Sure. I think we always have the choice to ignore the advice of our teacher. It is after all, merely instruction, for which I presume this gentleman sought out. Classical music is not considered a 'free form' genre like Blues or Jazz. It is very disciplined and is to be played as a faithful representation of the piece. Also, as a listener, I agree with her advice. I don't like to hear the nail 'plucking' the string. I want to hear the guitar 'playing', not the guitar 'being played'.

    • @aronfra8071
      @aronfra8071 8 років тому +1

      Well I think we really should respect and listen to other guitarists, specially ones who have far more experience and a much larger knowledge bank. But from what I've heard regarding this, it depends on which "guitar school" you belong to. I know Tarrega totally changed his technique after a number of years and played with pretty much no nail after all, which means also only flesh. Whilst other great guitarist would condone the technique he used... This is what I can remember at least.

    Mhmm I'm on the autism spectrum so I can have a quiet chuckle at all the uh mhmms. That being said she comes across as a great teacher/player and probably raises a good point about playing with flesh and nail mhmmmm.
