Ruphus -> RE: Gil de Avalle Flamenco Guitar played by Rafa Soler (Dec. 3 2015 19:27:30)

A shame that there are no more tracks available, and none with better audio quality. But even these two examples do prove quite well what Tom means, and how it will come through yet with inferiour recordings. Many years ago, I had been exchanging thoughts with Tom on the AG forum already,(besides considering him to be just another good luthier, - though quite expensive) but when I heard a recording with a guitar of his for the first time, my jaw dropped on the keyboard and I sent him an e-mail with glowing admiration for his ability to build fantastic stuff. Never having had one in hands, I can´t know about playability and only speculate about how it feels on the right hand (pulsation), but concerning the sound there is no doubt how balanced, separating and articulate things are. Were I a promissing luthier I would visit him to learn how he does it. It could be making the difference between being good and being outstanding. Ruphus
