Raúl Calderón playing Minuet by Robert de Visée and Sarabanda by Roncalli

Esta vez no utilicé la cámara con la que he hecho mis otros videos. Grabé estas dos piezas hace cinco años con el equipo de grabación que me prestó el gran guitarrista Manuel Espinás (a quien pueden ver en YouTube). Creo que el sonido es muy superior al de mi cámara. Por tal razón, aun cuando no puedan verme tocando, decidí poner estas dos piezas aquí en YouTube, y aproveché la ocasión para presentar imágenes de la guitarra que uso. La construyó el puertorriqueño Rafael Rosado en 1997. El instrumento tiene un sonido potente, brillante y de mucha prolongación. Espero que ahora lo puedan apreciar mejor. Además de ser un excelente constructor, Rafael Rosado es un gran pintor. Por eso el sello de sus guitarras es siempre una pinturita, en este caso técnica mixta de acuarela y serigrafía. Desafortunadamente, el camarógrafo fui yo. Afortunadamente, la edición es de mi esposa: hizo lo mejor que pudo con el material que le proporcioné.

mundlaut: unfortunately, I don't know anything related with the equipment my friend used for recording me. He just put a machine in my house with a big microphone. It was five years ago. I am using know a simple camcorder, which sound is not so good (you can see me in YouTube). In fact, I want to buy a machine or a mic, but I don´t know what to buy. I just want to sound better.

Thank you, Paul. I just wanted to present a semi proffesional recording, beacause I do not like my camcorder. There is another problem: I think (I am not completely sure) that there is a distorsion in YouTube. My last recording sounds with that strange distorsion, and I am not happy at all.

Sounds very good.

But you will never be satisfied!

You will always try to improve and that's the most important.

6K6R: well, I will be satisfied if I have the Segovia's Hauser, which is in a museum.

lute323: I made the audio with the equipment of a friend five years ago. It is not professional. For me there are no good guitars. The great problem for me is the trebles: they sound like plastic, because they I are made of plastic. The other problem: there are days that the instrument does not sound good. My guitar is made by Rafael Rosado, and its sounds is decent: volume, clear and resonance. I played the last instrument he made for the great guitarist Iván Rijos: it was better than mine.

@raulcalderonbird Well, I would be more than satisfied if I had Ana Vidova, with or without the Hauser !!!
