    A breath of fresh air. Imagine! In the world of guitar, there are at least two original thinkers, this wonderful guitarist and the maker of her guitar. The sound from both add new dimensions to both Bach and the instrument. Although the traditional, womanly shape is so pleasing, this rectangular guitar has found sound and sounds that add to the Ms Gregoriadou has taught me so much in just listening to this performance . . . Brava!

    Smaro has worked hard learning this suite - however, I can sense that her instrument is not entirely in tune - but there again, it is virtually impossible to tune the guitar anyway - so we just have to get used to it ! I prefer her performance of the Prelude Fugue and Allegro (BWV 998) played on a conventional guitar.

    It's not the quality so much as the type of sound, when mixed with other instruments... Certain aspects of the aesthetics could have been due to customer or designer idea. Or it could have been completely acoustic related to the latter.

    Excellent interpretation - in fact the first time the 1007 Prelude in particular has made sense to me in D Major. Most guitar arrangements butcher the second half of the Prelude so it sounds tacked-on to the first half. That said I'm not into gimmicks and the square cigar-box guitar is most definitely a gimmick. What is the point? Bo Diddly meets JS Bach? 😂 😂

    The lute would sound much better.
    And what`s with the bridge. Screwed down and floating in the air, sides sticking out. Why?
    I respect the artist.

    • @madraxz8284
      @madraxz8284 5 років тому +1

      I like the idea of the luthier. You have all the frets free of the body because the neck is installed on the other side of the box, istead of the front it is plased on the other side, this way the air box is the same but you have freedom and acces to the whole neck. Having a nec k screwed on instead of glued also makes neck re.-sets a peice of cake. In no way is this sopposed to be a Lute! We should not compare apples to oranges.
      The floaing bridge gives me the impression that the tension has been releived from the top. In theory this would give us more volume and a longer life span. Ofcourse I would either have to try it out or hear an explanation from the Luthier.
      I respect the Luthier. Great idea if it means that it is more comfortable to play, louder sound, and longer life without going thru neck re-sets or deformed guitar tops.
