Recordings Are Done!

[scrank]

Wow! That's some great stuff Dave. Of all those recordings the LV-09QM really stood out to me and it was nice to hear the Larrivee classical as well, sure would be nice to add a good nylon string down the road.

[hsojeel]

Oh that twelve string is calling me.  I must resist the gas. :blink:  

[Brad166]

WOW Dave, thats realy great to have all those samples to compare. I was surprised at how nice the MT sounds. But the walnut Breedlove realy stood out to me. VERY nice!!!!!!

[mdrulez]

The D-09 recording makes me proud  :D

this is really cool...thanks Dave!

[Denis]

Well, well...looks like Mr. Schmidt might make a few sales this week.  :lol:

Seriously though, Dave, you are a consumate professional and make it easy for people to get the guitar of their dreams.  I wish you all the success in the world.  When I am ready for another guitar, something to go with the OM you sold me, I know who to get in touch with.

Oh that twelve string is calling me.  I must resist the gas. :blink:

same here! that's one amazing sounding 12 string!!!!!!!

the bottom end of the D03 really came to life when strummed. mines a D03bw and the sound was very similar to my guitar.

the D03R was amazing as well...just a simply beatiful sound. so traditional...

one thing that i like to do is to hear acoustic...and even electic guitar parts on cds, try to guess what equipment is being used, then search the net for interviews to find out if i was right. sometimes i am, but sometimes its simply amazing what they can do in a studio to make junk sound great.

the subtle differences are there, and then there are some obvious differences. but the ear really does have to be trained to tell the difference. to someone unfamiliar they really would just all sound like "guitars".  i can remember when i first started playing. an ovation sounded like a taylor then. but now, the differences are simpy unreal.

quick story: i was helping a young guy i know pick out his first guitar not long ago. his mom was along...to pay for it all. she said, they all sound alike to me. i started pointing out differences and she was like, "huh...youre right..they do sound a bit different..." she really had never noticed and couldnt tell...but the ear can be trained really quickly. i played some low end stuff for her, then i grabbed a Larrivee LV-09 and she was completely floored....as was i...with the sound.

i love guitars....

Thank you so very much for those kind words Denis!
You have no idea how much that means to me. Truly!

[Adam]

I agree, I'm going to have to make an -03 purchase quite soon as well.

[el guitana]

That is nice work, Dave. I appreciate that you used the same tune for all of them.

Well Dave, to show me how much it means to you, you could send me a free guitar...like an L-03??? :lol:  

By the way, the OM-03R is sounding better every day.  I've been playing it for about an hour or two every day after the rest of the house goes to sleep...seems like the only time I have to play anymore is then.  And it looks like my wife may be pregnant with our second child so it may be a while before I contact for a second purchase.  

[honkytone]

Wonderful demo.  And a great illustration of the sonic difference between 14-fret and 12-fret design.  Going in order, you're listening to all the D's, all of which sound comparably beautiful, then comes the SD's and it's a whole new ballgame.  Same with the OOO's.  The differential is perfectly analogous to what I experienced between my standard OM-03MT and the Forum OM-03MT.

[SR]

Sounds good to me :D  B) Hard to pick a favorite sound clip

[MacDougal]

:P Dave I love them all.  Can you give me a break if I purchase one of each :-)

Thanks for all your efforts, very much appreciated.

[guitaradoptions]

Now you understand how hard it is for me to pick a favorite!
So many wonderful guitars!  :o

Congratulations Denis! Start planning on buying the next little miniature guitar or ukelele! ;)

I can relate to your dilemma. Do you find that you have to play less aggressively in a quiet house?  

[dbirchett]

But Dave,

Didn't you record a clip of the Esteban?  ;)

It's coming, it's coming!  ;)  

[prof_stack]

Funny thing is, Dave would make the Esteban sound great!   :lol:

Sort of, but there's a room humidifier in the bedroom, and the heat cycles on/off (forced air furnace), so it's not too bad.  Not to mention that my wife, now that she's pregnant, when she falls asleep, she's out, She barely heard the 21 month old when he was crying the other night.

I am learning/practicing some Renbourn right now, in open G minor and it's pretty quiet stuff to begin with.

[brad6tn]

Awesome sounds man. I want at least 4 of those guitars.....if I could afford them. I'd love to sell my Taylor 414ceL3 and get another Larrivee.
And and...and... I'd love to hear more of that clip.....that's some sweet stuff on the guitar. I've been searching for CD's by guitar players who play mostly fingerpicking stuff. Got any suggestions on that also?

Thanks
