Sobell new Flat Top New World
I've spent a few days recording some new Sobell guitars for Stefan for his website, two of them flat tops, a new thing for him - his soundboards usually are domed. He has used his usual bracing; the back has the usual doming.
Here's the first recording, a New World model flat top (Douglas Fir, Brazilian Rosewood). The piece is 'e' by Andrew York, tuning: DADF#BD, a nightmare to play due to really odd timing. More details will be on his website soon. Headphones recommended as a lot of the depth in the bass is lost otherwise. The other recordings include some Blues and something vaguely Celtic... coming soon. Jonny Last edited by jonnymosco; 02-22-2021 at 03:07 PM. |

Wow, what a trifecta: beautiful tune, expertly played, wonderful instrument. We want more Jonny, always more.

Impressive projection given the guitar is capo'ed at the 5th fret. I am yet to play a Sobell, I hope this will happen one day.
And great playing of course, but that is a given Looking forward to the rest. Cheers, |

Lovely playing and guitars, Jonny! Did you have a preference for one guitar or the other? Tim

Again, a kovely sound and great playing. There really is something special about the sound of those.

Yes, I think the Douglas Fir really chimed, both have volume, clarity and sustain, but that seemed to have some built in reverb and was very responsive to a variety of attack. Jonny |

I preferred the Douglas Fir.

Likewise. The DF had something special, like a built in effect leading to a unique quality, reverby as Jonny indicated and also bell-like and with it's own clarity. New to my ears. The European spruce sounded good and perhaps less noticeable because it seemed to sound as it was expected to sound - as one might expect from a venerable tonewood combination shaped into a Sobell.

NICE STUFF
Both instruments sounded GREAT to me. Beautiful playing too! Fun to watch your super relaxed and graceful hands!!! And the guitars are lovely too...
Interesting leg up widget! I would love to know more about it. Looks super comfy and I like that it is padded and nothing to scratch the guitars. Thanks for sharing with us all Salud Paul
