It’s lovely indeed. I have been told the sound is mostly down to top and the luthier. My new guitar has cherry back and sides and sounds and sustains as good as rosewood guitars i have played though it is a less dense wood. I think now there should be a move to more sustainable woods.
I'll let Simon answer the how much question, I don't actually know ! I've heard similar about certain guitars, but I feel a good guitar should offer it's sound easily. I've played good and not so good Romanillos.
@@davidjaggs thanks for your reply. Being new to guitar making, I’ve had less exposure to good and less so guitars. We love hearing about great guitars, but I’m more interested in a side by side demo of why one is better than the other.
People do hear trebles or basses differently. The way I hear it may be completely different than another and even different than an equalizer. So the proper equalizing of highs and lows to achieve the right balance can be both a scientific and a subjective evaluation. That being said, to my ears, as I age, and have played classical guitars for 59 years, I now need more brilliant highs and less bass to find that perfect equal volume of all the notes. But to another, they may need more bass and less treble. I just notice my ears are different than they were years ago. This beautiful satinwood has that perfect blend of higher treble and background accompaniment of mid tones and bass for my ears currently. The highs lead, and are not drowned out by the bass. I have an East Indian rosewood that used to sound perfect for me when I was young, but now I feel it is too much bass. It is interesting how my ears have changed over the decades. I understand a little better what it means to not always believe your ears, lol. Thanks for showing us this beautiful sounding guitar.
