Loudness is a feature of small 12 fret guitars. I have several Fylde Ariel 12 fret guitars including one that I’m selling on reverb that it’s made from old whisky barrels. Like JP says they’re very comfortable to hold and play. The volume comes from the bridge being placed further back in the centre of the largest part of the bout. This allows it to transmit more energy than the position of a bridge on a 14 fret which is further forward. You can tell a 12 fret at a glance without counting the frets, by just looking at the position of the bridge. This Boucher is a lovely guitar and demonstrated perfectly by JP.
That is an instrument for the ages - if you didn't know it was a parlour and only heard it, you would say it was at least a very high end OM - congrats to Robin Boucher - it said it all in your 1st arpeggio. Cheers, Ross
Oh my god. I’m so happy Boucher is building parlors and wow this one is built out of magic. I have the OM version of this which is spectacular. This one is so amazing I’m trying to come up with reasons / excuses for why I need it in this parlor size too.
You were so right about tusq bridge pins! So warm, very lively and so even... I like them much better then Ebony or bone.... I have them on my best two guitars now! Well I imagine there are guitars that could use that little bit of brightness that bone pins add! And ebony perhaps could take a little bit of the edge off of something. But on a guitar that already sounds great.. To me....Tusq rocks!
Dans les p’tits pots, les meilleurs onguents… Haven’t heard that expression in a while! My Mom used to use it often! Being small, I love the smaller guitars. I tried the Boucher parlor, but ended up preferring the JP Cormier model. 🐴🔥🎶

Whoa! Large sound and super pretty. What an instrument!
Wow! Gettin one of those! Ive got decent credit and I'm not afraid to use it!
Beautiful guitar!
Wonderful sound!
What a little beauty, and absolutely astounding playing sir!👍
Pleasantly surprised, guys, the sustain for such a small parlour guitar is incredible.
Sounds great..Surprised for the size. Last video I watched..Ordered a 163T..!! Robin and his guy's..Just keep on..Doing what they do.
Very impressive sound
Really enjoy your reviews JP. Went a long way toward convincing me to buy an Epiphone Masterbilt Excellente 👍

Maple sides and back for a small bodied guitar seems like the best probable choice of woods
Vos reviews sont toujours intéressantes. Parce que vous jouer vraiment longtemps et que l'enregistrement est bon.
Yeah, that guitar sounds incredible! Hard to believe it's a parlor....
You were so right about tusq bridge pins! So even... Lively... I'm so much warmer than bone pins! I am completely sold on them!

This is absolutly amazing
I do want one. Can't afford it. Beautiful instrument, incredible sound.
Exquisite instrument
Small body guitar, BIG sound. That is impressive!
You’re right it’s loud but it’s amazing so clear n beautiful tone 🎸🎸🎸❤️
Wow, perfect sound!
gotta-gotta get one. 👍👍👍
Oh man, what a lovely and great sounding guitar. I'm afraid to ask how much it costs.
Probably $5-6k, that's how much the maple Boucher's I have seen cost.
@@SlimeyGuitarStrings Thanks, out of my league but I understand that quality costs and that is quality.

Absolutely love my Parlour Boucher, dare I say it sounds better than my Jumbo Boucher
Stunning
I hope you try a new Waterstone "Wilder" parlor guitar. Solid top, affordable, sounds great.
Look amazing and sound giant great guitar!
Can you imagine J.P what the sound of the guitars being produced today will sound like 50,75 yrs from now?
Always cool what you show, would be interesting if you mention also the type of laquer used. Thankx🙏❤️
Think it was the shiny stuff.
Frigging handsome little rascal right there👍
It sounds really good
Isn't that fricken Purdy!! 👁👁🖐😎👍🎶🎶
Wow!
At the first pluck I said Holy Sh-t

Man, I love parlor guitars. Does Boucher accept souls by any chance?
😂
Wow
That's a beaut..
The mic must have guitar enhancement technology…ie AI
That Boucher almost sounds as good as my wee Lowden WL-35 guitar.
