You ask if there is a massive difference between the D15 and D28. I feel that there is in both build quality and sound. The D15 is made of Mahogany and plays softer. Some say that it plays back onto you and makes for a good recording guitar. The D28 on the other hand is much louder and more detailed in all its sound. IMO
LOL--my tastes should overlap with almost anybody's! Still making my list; forgot Herb Alpert, that would make 4 herbs (Herbs de provenance?).
I am very pleased with my koa Yairi; it's beautiful and is the nicest guitar I've had the chance to become really familiar with. I like the way it rings out when thumb-plucked, though I have been mainly finger-style for 40 years.
When we stayed in the dominican Republic for several months, we heard a lot of the traditional music played on the tres, which contrary to its name now has either four or five strings. I almost bought one in Puerto Rico! They are tuned GDAEB which would be interesting to fool around with, but because I live aboard a boat I just couldn't find the room just for novelty's sake.
Hello Mark!
Thank you for your kind comment. I am now going to look at your videos.
By the way... I have always wanted to try that Tanglewood. It looks like a beautiful instrument.
Best regards
