Great performance! Would you be able to provide me the sheet music or tab for this piece?

[gtkazu]

This sound of the guitar is never heard ever before and I was looking for long time.I really want to play.

[slreza]

What a beautiful guitar.... Is it the gut string which makes the sound a bit muddy ?

[MrGrandProductions]

Another winner MT! Great work.

[JMichaelThames]

Thanks Tommy! I always appreciate your comments! It seems you have "No Agenda" in the morning.

[GeraldBoyClassical]

Nice work Michael. Is that a French Polish and if so do you buff it out? The bridge makes a lot of sense.

[JMichaelThames]

Yes it's completely French Polished, and yes, I do buff it out on a buffing wheel. Glad you like the saddle idea.

[tman916x]

is the tornavoz that metal thing in the soundhole that kinda projects downward like column, and if so could those be put into steelstring guitars?

[JMichaelThames]

Yes, it is the brass thing inside the sound hole, there is no reason why you could not incorporate this idea into a steel string. Torres put a Tornavoz in about 80% of his guitars. It acts like a helmholtz resonator

[cienanosdesoledad]

That is a rather unattractive saddle

[JMichaelThames]

It is a sliding saddle, once you find the right settings you can either trim it or not. It makes a lot of sense if you are a concert guitarist traveling in different climates.

Are the gut strings expensive?

[JMichaelThames]

Yes, they are about $30.00 a set, compared to $6.00. They last about two months.
