Last August I traveled to Austria to visit one of my favourite luthiers, Daniel Zucali. I interviewed him about what it is like to work in his field and also to see the process of building my new crossover guitar. This is the guitar that was featured in my last video ‘Yesterday’. Daniel had many interesting insights and knowledge to share, and the experience of seeing my guitar come to life was something really special.
The piece I am playing at the end of the video is 'Un Dia de Noviembre' by Leo Brouwer

I love the sort of Art Deco rosette, very original but so well done that it looks in keeping with a classical instrument. As good as it looks, it sounds even better! I would love to hear it in ten, twenty years - if any of us are still around.
I wish you joy of your lovely new guitar, Stephanie. Your artistry deserves such a fine foil.
That guitar Zucali made for you is splendid. Every string is audible in every part of its range without becoming dominant except tot he extent that yoo make it dominate.
I am amazed at the quality of playing of the young masters I've discovered on youtoob lately, and you are the grooviest of them & I like you a lot Stephanie!
It was a nice video, and i do appreciate the craftsmanship of a seasoned luthier. You have to remember though....wood is not a living or breathing piece of material...it is the carcass....the remnant of something that gave its life for our enjoyment.
Superb video and so interesting as you don't often get to see from start to finished instrument, and to hear and see you play with such feeling is just so magical, can't wait for your next one🥰
Beautiful instrument beautifully played.
This is the gist of what I wish to say as well. I'm impressed and inspired by everything here.
Flawless perfect playing at last of this wonderful video!
Beautiful music and beautiful guitars and a beautiful existential observation of the connectivity and communal responses oa a forest. I certainly did not expect to have my mind markedly expanded by watching this video, but now I have a wider view on life.
Thank you.
Wow! A very informative video with beautiful music as well. Thank you, Stephanie. I will keep all this in mind.
beautiful guitar. Beautiful artist. Beautiful playing. Sigh. Made my day. Thank you. (guitarist and amateur luthier)
Thank you so much for sharing the making of this beautiful instrument. You both are artists in your endeavors
I am so excited for you! What a blessing to have an instrument that enhances your technical skill and the feeling you give each performance. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Never heard you talk before! It's nice getting a voice behind the face. I watch your videos all the time, especially the Piazzolla pieces! Keep it up Stephanie:)
Reassuring to see there are musicians of the new generation who've got it where it counts.
OMG !! Stephenie, you are so amazing !! Chose your love well, for mortals are undeserving !!!
The guitar looks and sounds great. It helps that you can play it so well.
A beautiful piece played beautifully on a beautiful guitar.
Stephanie, I know what you and the other guitarist mean about how well a guitar is made. I have a wonderful 1996 Burguet 2m and love everthing about it. How it looks, how it feels and how it sounds. My guitar too was made by an artisian luthier and made with woods that were allowed to dry naturally over years. Most of the woods he has used in his guitars were allowed to dry for as long as 30 years prior to being used in the production of the instrument. This method allows for the wood to adjust and stabilize.
I love his workmanship. I have two handmade custom made guitars. A Greg Brandt and a Glenn Canin. Both are awesome. I have had the Greg Brandt since 1993. It still sounds great.
I’ve enjoyed meeting you through your talking, and through your brilliant playing which seems to be for me alone. Thank you Stephanie for being you!
Good to see Adam Rafferty here! Very cool video indeed. Luthier's workshops are the closest we have to real sacred spaces!
Stephanie,
My mother was born 99 years ago on November 19th 1921. She passed away 5 hours ago, on this day in November. I could not have imagined finding this song in this video today. It is so beautiful and It is exactly how I will remember her. Thank you for this, I feel like you played it specifically for me, knowing I would need to hear it today. Chris
Sorry about your loss, Cris. Stay strong.
I am sorry for your lost she is in a better place now. Stay in your heart calm and warm in this cold November month. God bless you.
Qqqp
May God bless you, with peace and comfort, Chris. Families are forever.
@Gilberto Pieffer No! What the F are you doing here? Leave your girlfriend. She is better off without you. Hacking accounts is repulsive. You should warn Insta and enjoy your reward. Might be millions. Fool!
Hermoso video. Daniel Zucali es un Crack!! Abrazos
Warmth from bass to treble, sustain, colors, perfect. Electrified electrifying without the shocks. People often understand things by defining what they are not - it happens here too, funny.
Well, Ms. Jones, there is a song about you: "Have you met Ms. Jones?" and it needs an improvisational arrangement in the classical Spanish guitar style, I guess, to become your theme tune?
Not an English nor a German native speaker - there was so much going on here. The fat Austrian accent - I had to stop reading the subtitle translation, close my eyes and listen, for me to understand what he was saying. If only not to get distracted by this girl, cute as a bug, flirting with the camera, that speaks in a down under English accent with hunches of a German accent. But it was the music that made me subscribe.
i've just become a big fan of u, Stephanie.
Thanks. Beautiful.
Thanks for the subtitles! I've actually really liked this and the Interesting Instruments video. :3
Wonderful 🙏
Que vídeo legal! Saudações do Brasil 🎶🇧🇷
Nice vídeo!!
Did you design your rosette? The overall styling is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
beautiful
Was there any effects on the sound? If not OMG. So extraordinary sound.
Wow wow amazing video and guitars
Der Zucali ist ein Held. Großartige Doku!
As noble wood becomes wonderful sound
🎸终于找对了自己的主人🧭🕵️
The girl reminds me a lot of Slash from Quake Champions. Beautiful petite girl. I love you! 😘
愛があります。
10:10 well said!!!
Адам Рафферти играет что то очень вкусное. спасибо.
Schön.
ME ELEVASTE A LAS NUBES CON TU GUITARRA Y TU MUSICA Y AHI LE CLAME A MI CRISTO DEL MADERO QUE TE LLENE DE BENDICIONES ILUMINE TU CAMINO TUS PASOS POR DONDE TE LLEVE
I know I could do a good job constructing a guitar... except for the veneer inlays.. but to understand the materials needed and to construct it to where it sounds great, is where the real skill lies..
👍👍👍
the guitar body looks less deeper than traditional guitars , was it your request ? maybe I'm wrong, really love the rosette
I don't think Daniel Zucali understands that mycilia (fungi) are responsible for the interactive nurturing and communicating with the root systems of all the trees in the forest.
No real need to comment on your playing. Beautiful will suffice.
'The guitar tone , however is unbelievable. May be the most superb nylon sound guitar I have heard in my 67 years. And I've heard a few. The luthier is a genius.
Exquisite tone, and the fragmented rosette is a very cool signature look.
I see Stephanie I click.

Wow! This video is so well done! Well shot, well edited, and of course masterful musical performances. My father was a luthier so I love when our fellow musicians truly revere the work of the folks who make our livelihoods possible. Thanks Stephanie, this is fantastic!! ❤️
Totally agree
Beautiful guitar, beautiful sound - and of course the guitarist.
I always enjoy watching the process. Wonderful presentation of a beautiful instrument. Funny thing though...when I first started building, they told this one joke that has lived with me nearly 18 years and it is real conviction that overcomes it......“ Optimism: a luthier with a mortgage”.
I really apreciate you letting the artisan speak. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to hear a guitar maker speak so soon. It would be interesting to hear other artisans that make other instruments speak. I am poor and a beginner so I had to rely on my teacher to choose a guitar for me. It wasn't an personally made one, but I'll treasure it for my teacher's effort of travelling far with me to choose the best quality guitar I could buy with the money I had. By the way nowadays I think musical instrumets crafting is more interesting than weapon crafting. I came from martial arts so it used to be the other way around.
Good luck on your journey, Bruno. I've been playing for over 40 years and the one thing you'll learn is that, in some ways, you're always a "beginner". I've played professionally since the late 1980s and I still learn new things all the time. That's one of the most beautiful things about being creative. Stay safe. Cheers from Florida.
Don't understand the 13 dislikes at this moment ? Beautiful instrument, beautifully played by a beautiful woman.
Most were from Yngwie.....
Very touching perfomance !!! Beatiful, with soul, as always!!!
A very nice video. But remember something.
Though we consider what is being done as working with "living wood" all the lovely music produced comes from the bones of living trees. So always respect the gift being presented to the maker, player and listener.
It came at a cost to the tree itself. No living thing likes having a piece of itself chopped off, even in the pursuit of art and beauty.
So always be sure to respect the source; as it is what permits and allows all we do.
Not being critical. Juuuust sayin' is all.

Beautiful music on a beautiful guitar. Enjoyed watching the documentary!
Just so beautiful. What an exquisite sound, beautiful piece, beautiful guitar, beautifully played.
just a side note to this vid, the one element of your playing that always stops me in my tracks is the harp like tone of your softer touch and harmonics, its truely breathtaking, bravo, stephanie you are unique. play on.....
Your new guitar will only get better as is ages and plays in. It’s a wood thing.
Nah
Congrats to this new guitar. Wonderful instrument for a wonderful player. Can‘t wait to hear you play it live when the time is right. All the best.
Awesome video and I love your guitar playing .Thank Stephanie.
Love the luthier’s Austrian accent. The translations were pretty good. Lovely video thanks.
En español: suena increible tu nueva guitarra Stephanie! Felicitaciones! Ademas tienes una voz muy dulce, bonito oirte y apreciar tus interpretaciones!
And to think that as you age she will age with you. And like a fine wine that get better with age, you, your guitar will age just beautifully.
Great sound from your new guitar.
Also, I really like how you made this video great job !! keep it up !!
Another great video and performance, thank you...Bravissima....I wish you and your loved ones joy, safety, and comfort for the coming holiday season, and all the best of life's experiences in the future.
Fantastic video. I am always interested in how people create guitars. You have a very beautiful instrument that will only get better with age. Love your playing. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you very much for the video...very passionate and lovely artisan craftsmanship!
A beautiful instrument, played with sheer perfection! What peace you bring my to soul!
Very nice guitar! Most classical guitar players ask for traditional instruments and most luthiers don't dare to think outside the box.
That was enlightening. His attention to building your guitar looks just as passionate as your attention to playing it. What a fascination evolution of relationships from how he picked wood that grew in certain ways to how he worked with it in his special ways to make your guitar, so that you could play it in your talented way. Fascinating.
I like your improvisations in 'Un Dia de Noviembre.'
me too
@@croth8371 I don't. But I respect everyone's opinion.
@@kiekiek Im with you on this one !!!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts
Thank you so much for sharing this!
so beautiful! thank you!
Truly a masterpiece. I can't express the admiration and feeling of awe to hear you playing on such amazing instrument, and knowing that it can only get better with time for both artist and instrument. Congratulations Stephanie.
As long as I've been a subscriber how have I never heard her speak? Her voice is as delicate and musical as her talent and what an awesome post to make the weekend even better. Stay safe everyone. Cheers from Florida.
Ive never heard her speak and her English is spot on !
So much love to your musical talent and passion.
As German, it is very scary to listen German and see English text😁
Stephanie,
I just loved this latest video exploring the workshop of Daniel Zucali. Your playing is always wonderful but I also enjoy your videos that explore the world of guitar, luthiers and innovation. Keep them coming. Cheers
Good musical instruments can last for centuries. So they are always worth the money!
Whats the piece that you played on the intro
Video hermoso amigo que orgullo todo lo que has crecido desde que te conocí en 2003!

As one of the guitarists said: like a piece of modern architecture. Well done!
Wunderbares Viodeo. Stephanie, please record and film soon with your new guitar! You belong to the very best musicians.
That's probably the best looking and sounding classical guitar I've ever witnessed.
Amazing playing, and fantastic video.
Thank you youtube algorithm for this awesome content. Subscribed! 🎼🎶🎵🎼❤️💞💕
Thank you for this beautiful video! This new Zucali sounds perfect in every way! Most important question for me is: which strings have you put on?
This is great. I've admired your playing for awhile but it's really nice to see you in this context, talking and discussing guitar making. I see you have one of the newYamaha amps in the background, maybe you can do a segment like this about that amp. Continued success.
Wonderful video and a most beautiful sounding instrument. Thank you for showcasing its tonal quality with such a lovely piece ... And you speak as well as you play! Well done Stephanie!
Thank you. It's so good to get educated in a subtle and meaningful way. It was wonderful to get all the perspectives from three very different Individuals. The Song at the end demonstrated clearly the superiority of the Instrument. Thank you!
Thanks for the insightful tour that this video provided us and for your exceptionally beautifully playing!
Video is fascinating from head to toe, thank you for making it!
Now that’s synergy 🙂🌟
" Un Dia de Noviembre " (Leo Brouwer) Beautiful piece from a Cuban classical guitar composer. Stephanie, please try in one of your videos " GUAJIRA A MI MADRE " (José Antonio "Ñico" Rojas)
another beautiful classical guitar piece of my country Cuba.
What a beautiful video ... I am a guitarist, a photographer and also sometimes I work in my guitar construction workshop ... I really enjoy your videos playing the guitar but this one in particular fills me with emotion because it touches on four important themes in my life: music, guitar, construction and photography for the landscapes you show ... thanks for sharing this. I hope I can meet you one day and be at one of your concerts ...
Excellent and wonderful video! Congratulations! 👌🏻😉
Another Christopher? Apre voux Monsier. I learned while I was in a foreign country that (Mom) died. The whole process is much more and we are crafted as she would expect. This guy though...makes a hand planer into a magic motion. I like rough cuts at .025 -.035 " But I can be very sure this guys can shave a hair twice. .002-.003. I have measuring instruments that can go to .0001" but Wow! Laser interpolation helps I bet but the Feel.
Really, Stephanie, as beautiful as you sound on these exceptional guitars, I think your sublime musicianship will create magic with even the most mediocre of instruments.💋
Years down the road, you will fully realize that this was the most gratifying and rewarding purchase (of anything) you have made you're entire life.
I've read much about violin making and about the famous makers.....worked for a custom guitar luthier (custom electric guitars) and can tell you without doubt that Daniel is a master builder of the very highest caliber. Play your new guitar a lot.....the more time you put on it the better and better it will sound.
I have about a 40 year old Maderia by Guild that sounds absolutely wonderful to me.....and in beautiful shape too. You are making me want to start playing classical fingerstyle! I love my Maderia.....but your guitar is truly a modern day masterpiece!! Thank you for giving me the inspiration to play something more than neo-classical rock guitar.
