Default Petros Yellow Rose
At last, here's a first recording with my Yellow Rose -- an original piece called "Les premiers pas", or "First Steps" in English. It is the prequel to "La traversée", which I recently recorded with my "Tree" SJ.

The Yellow Rose is a wonderful little guitar that has a clear, crystalline voice. It also requires a very soft touch which I am still adapting to.

I will post more comments and photos in the coming days.

Thanks for listening.

I thought the same thing with my Tunnel 13. VERY responsive, like a high-end sports car. Even tuning I noticed it was dialed in much tighter than either of my previous better guitars, a Guild D55 and a Martin D42. Love them all as guitars, but the Petros rewards and responds to a much more delicate touch, which has been great fun to learn, while teaching/demanding me to be a better player.

Congrats Mau... I was long time waiting for your Petros clip... Nice composition and playing as usual...

I still prefer the thicker sound when you play your K though haha, cant help it.

That was great, but I wouldn't have expected anything less. Enjoy it!

Thanks so much!

This guitar has already aged gracefully -- very encouraging for the coming years.
