That's hilarious, I can't be that witty for real. Thanks for pointing out rabbi instead of rabbit, fixed it

I've always had a soft spot for the sound of nylon.

Mmmm… Lowden... I would hold on to that one! I've got an Avalon L32c and hope have it for many years. Something special about those Irish steel strings. But everyone has their own journey to travel, so do whatever floats your boat and enjoy!

And to be honest, the stage for me seeing the wit had already been set since a few posts before

Day by day, my new nylon string is growing on me. I gotta get a strap button and strap though and then I'll probably wear the darn thing to bed ..... I'm lovin' it so much.

EDIT: That being said, my classical is getting 100% playing time. I just can't seem to make steel strings sound as expressive without sounding soft. |

Why not grab a set of nylon ball-end strings (EJ33 for instance) and put those on your Lowden? Action will be too low and the trebles won't sit right in their slots but at least you'll get an idea if there's an interest to adapting it (nut & saddle job mostly). My guess is that the instrument will retain its characteristic voice, and if ever you need to play steel strings again it's trivial to convert it back. |

No it won't, and I'd be really curious to know what you find out if you do!

There was a point about a year ago I'd have echoed your sentiment but realized some time later that all I like to do cannot be rendered on classical alone. No matter how I render it, nylon cannot deliver Little Martha like steel can. So, I broke down and bought another steel string for the times I need it.

Which is why I kept 1 steel string guitar.. Plus, it's a Froggy Bottom, I simply couldn't part with it.. LOL

This was played on the Epi Hummingbird I just bought and mic'ed with a Line 6 SonicPort VX in stereo. I'm learning quickly that mic placement can bring out the best (or the worst) of a guitar, and that placing it well can make it sound great. Yeah, I know I posted a steel-string recording in a nylon string thread, but I learned it from your Nylacaster video and I do play it on my classical sometimes. |
