I have a WS-1000, and a Blackbird Lucky 13. They do just fine in the volume department, and are louder (or at least more projective) than my wood guitars, which are mostly Taylor GA's. A friend has a DR-1000 and it IS louder than my other CF guitars. Sometimes, size matters. The Rainsong Jumbo must be a real cannon.....

Thanks guys, funny thing last year there I was playing my oo18v I got from Ted and no problem other than worry about the weather. Taking everything into consideration ,may need to start taking two so I can choose depending on the weather.

I guess you could always play a louder Dreadnought with a softer touch to quiet it down a little, but you can't play a smaller guitar louder

Giving serious consideration to going back to a wood dread!

I played a Hybrid Rainsong Dread and it was loud! Full and crisp without being harsh. I think it would easily hold it's own. Plus you can find them without electronics fairly easy, verses a custom order on almost all others styles.

Two inexpensive items I've found that increased volume on any guitar, and by a significant amount. First is GHS Phosphor Bronze strings in their True Medium gauge. The Monels you are using are not especially big on volume. Second is a 4mm John Pearse Fast Turtle pick that has has the edges re-beveled to an extreme speed bevel. The pick is by far, the loudest I ever found and it combines that volume with extreme clarity with only moderate right hand effort.

Now, now Jerry.... there is no need to do anything rash like going back to (gasp)....wood.
There should be other options in the CF world that will work for you. |

Got a matched set - JM1000 6-string and JM3000 12-string - and I'll vouch for Ted's assessment...

Yep. The right tool for the job. It isn't "RainSong" that isn't loud enough, it is that guitar in that situation. Sometimes, size does matter.
