Title: Larrivee d10
Post by: DaveyO on May 13, 2026, 06:19:30 PM
I got the chance to play a D10 today
Beautiful wonderful instrument
A real looker
But to be honest
I don't know if it sounds so much better than my DO3R

Same woods and construction, just prettier.  You are in good shape with your D-03R.

True, but not entirely true.  I've always read that Larrivee picks the better woods as you go up in Series.  Now can you hear the difference, that is a whole different debate.  But from an aesthetic point of view, I can give you an example.  I used to own a late 90's Brazilian D-09 and it had worm hole fills on the side panels.  Still functional and still pretty grain, unless you know what you are looking at.  I don't believe you would find that on a D-10 though.
