Default Send In The Clowns: Blueridge Br-341 & Martin D18

One of my favorite Stephen Sondheim songs Send In The Clowns...recorded twice would be curious to know which version sounds better:

On my Blueridge Parlor:

Very Nice! Thanks for the video. Martin was more articulate, but the Blueridge was smoother. Great playing.

I liked both renditions -- very nice. If I had to choose, it would be the bigger sound of the D-18. But the light sound of the parlor guitar has its place, too.

Very nice -- thanks for sharing this!

I, too, prefer the fuller sound of the D18, but I enjoyed the masterful playing on both versions. Well done.

Both version were outstanding! Love that song. I preferred the parlor, actually.
