That guy needs to take a break from playing old guitars so he can learn how to record them...

kubase, he didnt record it, some guy with a digital camera did.

you should really show more respect for mr. bruné. he is one of the foremost scholars on the guitar, and also one of the worlds renowned luthiers.

keep that in mind.

My comment was intended to be lighthearted, as we keep seeing him with these amazing old guitars and can't hear what they sound like. I'll start using smilies more.

Hi there.. my question is that that Torres don't have a saddle.. the strings just attach to the bridge...
so do we actually need saddles?

cheers

no you dont need one, but it certainly helps.

That guitar was constructed inexpensively. You'll find that all baroque and renaissance (up until the early romantic era) guitars do not have saddles.

of course most dont really resemble what your idea of guitar is either!
