I love these videos. You show such joyful expression when you play these guitars. The collection of guitars all seem to be not just fantastic guitars to play but works of art! Thank you.
I really appreciate how you present guitars of different construction and different periods one after the other, with musical pieces that clearly display the guitar’s strengths and weaknesses. Where I live in the US (Tennessee) being able to find a good traditional guitar, a double top, and a lattice braced guitar in the same place (outside a university) is not easy to do. Being able to hear all these different types of guitars by different luthiers in one place is a real treasure trove! Keep up the excellent work!
Trad is where it's at! Lattice, double top, triple sides, square sound hole, whatever. Some are nicer than others, but it is impossible to beat the sound of a good traditional guitar, it's just not going to happen.
I am in awe of the guitars shown/demonstrated during this week's WGM! I especially liked the Engelbrecht, the Fischer and the Adalid guitar. You were right on in your description of these guitars. I prefer the Adalid guitar because of my preference for 'softer' sounding instruments, but when I win the lottery I will make a trip to Karlsrhue to collect all three guitars!
Jullian does the best performance when showcasing a guitar. He highlights the correct features. The French guitar is really a pleasant sounding instrument.
Just helping; Julian is a wonderful name, my younger son's name is Julian but this cool cat's name is Jouyan. I think it's the Iranian version of Julian or John or something.
For me when you switch from a lattice to a traditional guitar its like going from black and white to colour. Each to their own and circumstances though. Segovia wrote he loved his Fleta but it started to unglue itself during a tour of the USA. David Russell says he loves traditional guitars but he found they are too unpredictable when moved from one location to another very quickly he gave the example of playing in Northern Europe one day and Southern Europe the next. His double top takes the change in its stride but he was never sure what he was going to get with the other when he opened the case.
The traditional is so much more beautiful. It has a warmth and character I love. I find lattices and double tops too punchy and mid-rangey. Thanks for your interesting video.
Hi, what is the music you always play, starting here at 2:51 here.. Always a great presentation and performance not to mention your other great attributes.
The new double top guitar was less interesting in its sound to me than the new Lattice top guitar or the older standard "fan?" style tops. The double top notes felt somewhat truncated or "compressed?" when the older standard guitar.
As always a great presentation of the characteristics of all those beautiful instruments 🤗. Would you please tell the titles of the pieces you played ?
Lattice and double top sound like crap compared to even a medium good traditional guitar. Nasty, nasal, very uneven, very bass heavy - boomy, can't believe young "musicians" are doing this to music for only about 3-5 db gain in volume which is only around the player anyway. How can anyone sacrifice on the beauty of music for volume. No real musician would do this...ever. Can you imagine Horowitz, Casals, Heifetz, Rampal, Rostropovich....doing something like that? Hell no! Never.

Hi Jouyan, I think you do a great job presenting the guitars! They are all wonderful sounding guitars this week!

Thanks a lot for your kind words.

Heeeey! Look who's back! Those kids are alright, but Jouyan is definitely the OG, the boss.
When you began playing the Manuel Adalid I immediately thought 'That would sound perfect in an ensemble!'
Great videos. For me a traditional guitar of course, but the most important is the musician.
Soltaneh ghalbha :) Never heard that piece on a classical guitar! Thank you so much and best of luck!
Great guitars! Welcome back!

All very nice instruments but the last one has my heart stolen. Cedar Tops that sing so nice is my fist love.

For me the Paul Fischer has the best tone... traditional tone.

Agree on the punchy and mid-rangey sound of the doubletop and lattice braced guitars! Thanks for the comment.
Hi, what is the music you always play, starting here at 2:51 here.. Always a great presentation and performance not to mention your other great attributes.
Thanks a lot. It‘s the melody of „Fly me to the moon“.
@@SiccasGuitars Thank you.
The Lattice and double top guitars were quite a bit louder than the traditional.
the fischer sounded the best to me

Jouyan, what is that introduction music? Is it one of your own tunes?
This is actually the melodie of Andante BWV 1003 by Bach. Jouyan made a more rhythmical and jazzy version of it.
As always a great presentation of the characteristics of all those beautiful instruments 🤗.
Would you please tell the titles of the pieces you played ?
Thank you! The first piece is "Soltane Ghalbha", an Iranian pop song, and the second one is "Homenaje a la Chitarra" by Eduardo Sainz de la Maza.
@@SiccasGuitars thanks ! 🙏🏼

Shouldn’t be your store climate controlled?
i love this guitar with so good sounds .thanks
What was the second to last piece you played on the last instrument?
You mean probably the "Homenaje a la Chitarra" by Eduardo Sainz de la Maza. 🙂
