Really fine playing.
The overall tone of the D-18 style guitar was not overbearing nor overreverberating, but the string squeak of the bronze strings is quite unavoidably present with the rapid chordal shifts of a jazz tune.
Bronze on a flattop can make some divine sounding ringing chords, as we all know, but this bronze/flattop combination is far less well suited for typical jazz or classical chordal movement. Have you tried monel strings on that flattop yet?
