Krzysztof Piotrowicz 2014 (first time build) and Jose Romanillos 1996 from'Russell Cleveland' collection both guitars use the same woods and weigh about the same.
Congratulations on building such a fine guitar- and very fine playing too- To my ears its sound is very well balanced and beautiful. The huge difference in prices between the two instruments shows how ludicrous things are today. Basically, the Romanillos is not just an instrument but a prestigious label/brand with huge invstment value attached to it. But to listen to, I found that yours had a more memorable sound than the Romanillos. I don't know how easy it is to play though, one would have to try for oneself. My only gripe in this video is that neither guitar had been tuned accurately. Bur really well done. Keep building guitars!
What bracing and soundboard thickness did you use for your guitar? I assume it's Engelmann Spruce. How large of a dome is in the soundboard? Sounds amazing, very alive!
The Romanillos is a little bit softer and rounder sounding, but I actually prefer the slight extra bite from yours. Outstanding result for a first time build - very well done.
Thanks. my guitar has developed since this video.. more depth, more thickness in tone. just keeps getting better as good spruce guitars do. after this I have build 4 flamencos and my second classical is complete in the next couple weeks.
+nebo vas my guitar has Augustine Regals on it, not sure the romanillos, but they were definitely nylon and not carbon/titanium etc. I like Labella 2001 series strings , I use them a lot, mainly medium and sometimes low tension. labella 2001 and Augustine regals are my favourite strings for classical gutiars.
hi, thanks for liking my cd :) I will one day make another volume. i have started building guitars, and i think next year i will build myself a 7 string guitar to play Russian guitar again.
So keep building, my friend. Because you have a great talent in your hands. I am amazed at your work; An incredible sound and better than Romanillos. With more brightness and color in each note. Give me your e-mail so we can keep in touch and talk better. Bg hug!
