"Hey Ed, thanks for the info. It makes perfect sense. I've often noticed the HD28 is the standard for ensemble, especially bluegrass, or when one needs more volume with good overall tone."

Debora Robinson replied to gregory l ault's discussion d-28 vs. d-35 in the group Martin Owners"Alan, thanks for the question; I played one of each at that time but I played a D35 about 20 years ago and I don't know how old it was then, but it was in perfect condition and not only did I like the sound but I loved the ease-of-playing. I…"
Debora Robinson replied to gregory l ault's discussion d-28 vs. d-35 in the group Martin Owners"When I compared the two side-by-side, same model years(2007), the D28 had a more even tonal range; nothing stood out at either end of the spectrum, which is good. However, the D35 seemed to have more tonal voice in the low and high range and dropped…"
Debora Robinson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"The D-35 is a remarkable instrument. It may have some heavy bass but I've found the string selection can make a big difference. I've used DR light-guage strings for a pretty good balance."
Edward Sparks left a comment for Debora Robinson"Hi Debora,
How do I like my Guild 12 sting? Love it...here is the description from my Guild 12 page on my Guitar gallery from my website. It was stolen and I was sure glad, and surprised, to get it back along with a Hofner Bealte Bass taken at the…"
Debora Robinson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"Please get over it Gibson and Martin fans- I have one but would like to have one of each! They're different instruments for different styles, sound and personal preference!
Martin employees must have something going for them; whether it be…"

Debora Robinson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"I work in a music store and a customer brought in what appears to be a "1944 0-17" Can anyone tell me about this guitar?

Debora Robinson replied to Gil's discussion ROUGH mix of full band version Fallin' Fallin' in the group Songwriters"I really like this song...and these are just suggestions, not criticisms; it sounds as if you're using one voice for the lyrics - two distinct voices may be a better bet to give it a little more depth. The same with the guitar; add more guitar-…"
Debora Robinson replied to Mark D Hiatt's discussion Cold Weather Treatment in the group Martin Owners"Mark, Michael, everyone, I too, have questions re: the cold weather and my instrument. I keep my Martin in the case at home with the humidifier inside the guitar in the temp. range of 67F-76F year-round. When I play a gig that causes me concern…"
Debora Robinson commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"To Mike Nepper- I couldn't believe your comments about having your wire cutters taken away by a TSA agent! This has really gotten out of control! I would think the strings on a guitar would be more lethal than wire cutters! Maybe the security…"

- Hi Debora,
How do I like my Guild 12 sting? Love it...here is the description from my Guild 12 page on my Guitar gallery from my website. It was stolen and I was sure glad, and surprised, to get it back along with a Hofner Bealte Bass taken at the same time! If you get to visit my website and have a mind to, please sign the Guestbook! Thanks, Edward

Company: Guild, Model#: JF212XLN Year: 1980
Description: This guitar was purchased new from Veneman's Music in Rockville, Maryland. It is in excellent, playable condition, tuned to concert pitch, allowable due to the unique double truss rods in the neck. There are a few minor dings in the top finish from normal wear and tear. The "N" in the model name stands for natural finish. The widest measurement of the body is 17" across, hence the "XL" in the model name. I still have the original hardshell case. In 2001, I had a Fishman under saddle pickup and preamp professionally installed at Appalachian Bluegrass Shoppe in Catonsville Maryland. I owned this instrument for 28 years (it was older than all of my children) before it was stolen in September, 2008. I wrote many songs on this instrument, particularly "Light at the End of the Tunnel" and parts of my "Uncharted Skies: Suite." Unbelievably, the guitar was returned to me after the person who stole it tried to sell it back to the local Guitar Center!
