hey danechka, i recently just ordered a rene wilhelmy and his current price (at least before 2008) is $8500. It may or may not go up after the new year. jerome plays one with brazilian rosewood back and sides so that would up the price a little bit on the guitar, although im not sure how much.  your best bet would be to email wilhelmy and ask if you are indeed interested. cheers!

2005) René Wilhelmy Concert Guitar. René is a wonderful Canadian luthier. Google his website. The sound is as much about Jerome as it is any guitar. Annie Labrie of Similia has an incredible 7 string by Wilhelmy (1997) listed on our commercial site: SoloGuitarist(dot)Net

damn...some of those chords are so delicious...this is one of the coolest pieces i've heard in some time

He's just fine playing what he's playing.

Oh yeah, those harmonics are badass too!

[kentuckymudbutt]

Believe it or not, I bet I was part of his inspiration for this piece! I think overall, Dunne enjoyed his brief stay in the wild lands of Appalachia, but I never imagined him paying tribute to it like this!

@alankulka That's Great!!!!!!!

I also want to order a Wilhelmy guitar in a few years. You probably already have yours, so how is it? Any comments? I would really like to know if he has Indien rosewood, on his site he on shows Brazilian and Honduran. Those guitars are hauntingly beautiful.

Jerome is my favorite guitarist that isn't that famous. He such a wonderful musician and Dunne is a unique composer. I just recently got his 9 Jazz etudes. Somewhat difficult because not all of the measures have specific fingerings, just one fingering to lead the rest into place. In a way, its preparing me to be able to read and play without fingerings.

I just listened to Marcin Dylla's version and it sounded bad compared to Ducharme's interpretation.

[blakanthrax]

i love black metal and i love this i wish cut do that but that well take along long time

As much as I admire his skill and the composition, I tend to fall asleep when watching videos of classical guitar. It's just a bit too easy to not listen to. But then maybe that makes it 'easy listening.' Dunnooo. I'd only have it on if I was sitting on a villa porch trying to relax in the sun...
