In this video I compare 3 legendary guitars made by some of the most well-known classical guitar luthiers. Which one was your favourite?

All three sound deliciously warm and lovely. In particular I liked the Hernandez best - so lush and a "woody" bass tone that seems perfect to my ears. Thanks for the fun test, Beatrix - I so appreciate your wonderful teaching and playing in general!

I agree. It was also the most balanced to my ear

Thank you David! I agree, all sound wonderful, but I really like the way you described the Hernandez, it's really hard to find good words to describe sound characters :D

Hi Beatrix, I could quite honestly listen to you play & never tire . For me that 2nd guitar definitely has a warmth and almost caresses the tones from within. Without being a "little snob" or "Elitest" as many Classical musicians tend to be, I think it's inherent to the teaching methods and the difficulty and demands of technique. I'm pretty sure , Wonder Wall , Stairway to Heaven and Sultan's of Swing would also sound wonderful on these magnificent and beautiful instruments. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👋😁🤗👍👏👏

If I had to pick one of these three guitars for the sound I listened to and for my fun classical and fingerstyle repertoire, the third (Romanillos) is my favorite. And I thank Lady Beatrix for making me enjoying this wonderful music for my heart and my soul.

@BobStCyr 8 күн бұрын

Can we combine these three into one? They all sound wonderful. The Santos has awesome full bass and stays smooth all the time. It loses a bit on the high notes up the neck. The Fleta has a lack of bass and warmth but had clarity in the midrange and top. The Romanillos was the best balanced and sort of between those two. Please send all three!!! - did I win the lottery?

When I bought my Otto Vowinkle 2A(cedar top) in a Montreal classical guitar store I also played Lagrima on several models 😊 However, I did have a price limit. But very happy with it. Was built in 2019.

@pbasswil 6 ай бұрын

The way the Hernandez separated the melody from the accompaniment was perfection. A beautiful voice on top; harmonically supported, delicately and sensitively. Of course, first & foremost that was your playing! But imho your artistry was best, uh... _rendered_ by the Hernandez.

@nasigil5928 Ай бұрын

First guitar (Santos) seems to have a wolf note at F#. Both the 3rd string 11th fret and 1st string 2nd fret sounds loud and a bit out of place. Quite noticeable in the recording at around 00:47 and 1:44. I like Romanillos the best.

@2011Noud 3 ай бұрын

For me the Ignacio Fleta would be the choice. Because it is clear and warm at the same time. The Santos Hernandez is more the "Old School" sound. Nothing wrong about that but the com- bination enough warmth and clearlyness is not that easy to find in a guitar.The Romanillos is a bit similar to the Fleta but it lacks that edge of brightness which gives it its' distinct personality to my opinion.

I did observe that epic trip to siccas. It must be amazing to not only get to play all these instruments but also have the skills to live up to them. I so wish the comparison were agnostic of the asking price. Old vs new, first generation vs. later generations, Spanish vs Italian, Spruce vs Cedar: there are any number of comparisons that are more interesting to me than price, which is, in essence, just a reflection of supply and demand.

All sound great! But I noticed a difference that I couldn't really put my finger on (no pun intended) with the 2nd one (Fieta). It just made me feel the music better - almost as if I was there, even though it is a recording!

Interesting comparison, Beatrix! I least liked the Fleta soundwise, it seemed to be slightly out of tune to boot. But if I had to choose one of the two spruce topped guitars, I'd be caughr between a rock and a hard place.The Hernandez sounds fatter on single notes, when you hit that high e, it really shines. The Romanillos on the on the other hand has more elegance in its tone... It would be nice, if you did such a comparison with affordable guitars.

@beatrixguitar 9 ай бұрын

Yes, unfortunately the Fleta is a bit out of tune but it's nearly impossible to keep these guitars in tune. They always have fresh strings on , the oldest strings are 5 days old tops, and the Fleta was just restrung before I played it. :/ You tune it but then it's out again in 10 seconds.

@mehmetnaciakkk3983 8 ай бұрын

This is very personal, of course, but the Fleta was the one I "felt" with. A very characteristic sound. I have the tendency to like cedar-top guitars more than spruce-top guitars in general. Not a rule, but cedar is usually rounder/milder but still with a more immediate response.

@mer1red 8 ай бұрын

The Romanillos is without doubt my favorite. Intimate sound, clear voices. I don't like loud (concert) guitars that sound good no matter how you touch them. The guitar has to respond to and reflect what I want to say.

Thank you Russ, I think the Fleta had the most special character to me, it had a really dark tone which I liked a lot at that moment. It had a nice, intimate sound, perfect for small places, but probably wouldn't fill up a big concert hall. But maybe I'm wrong :D

Hello Beatrix, The way you hold the guitar is different than traditional posture. Would you like to tell us why? I also feel size of the guitar is little big as compared to you. Please make our concepts clear.
