you look and play fantastic mate..at first glance I thought I was seeing Robert Plant playing here...

[BalcarresGuy]

Well if he ever wants to jam...

Hi Rob

i very like your playing. It inspired me to order a baroque guitar [ now it's in process]...i remember i saw a record of you playing cittern 10 years ago in Jerusalem..do you still publish cd's?

[BalcarresGuy]

Hi Ariel,

That's great news. The baroque guitar repertoire is extensive and wonderful. I hope you get a good instrument, as it can make all the difference.

I am actually recording a CD next week for the Alpha label (French), of 17thC Scottish baroque guitar music and viol. Look out for it around Christmas time.

Any chance you have a managable source from which i could purchase a baroque??

[BalcarresGuy]

Not sure what a manageable source means, but I can heartily recommend luthier Alexander Batov of vihuelademano dotcom. It's his guitar I am playing.

at first glance I almost thought Robert Plant was on guitar..you are amazing...like your music, like your look..like your baroque time capsule..like your bookshelf...like everthing in that room: )

[tocamadera]

@classicbanjoRM thanks,, it was in case you had any experience testing difert instruments because your one sounds spectacular

[classicbanjoRM]

@tocamadera

I don't know. You should talk to Alexander Batov who made my guitar but who has also studied the Stradivari guitar in detail. Google his name.

[tocamadera]

Hi, first, thanks for your music, I really enjoy it... Nothing else apart of what all the people is writing you here. I got a cuestion for you, I am violin maker now enjoing making a copy of the Oxford Stradivari guitar and I want to know your opinion about the rosette: do you think that making it in layers of wood instead of parchement is worst for the sound? Thanks

just wonderful, i wish i could have a baroque guitar :(, but awesome playing :)

[zepfreakxx]

Hi, great playing, i play classical guitar & have wanted a vihuela for years, is it possible to tune it as a classical guitar (eadgbe), same intervals but different starting note, minus a base string of course. I have a lute & do a similar thing so I dont have to learn from scratch & can play my classical guitar baroque repertoire on it.

[smoothie66]

breathtaking. i can tell you really love this music by the way you play it with such respect.
