Default Four Parlor Guitar Comparison, Larson, Martin, Froggy Bottom & Larson

Here is Richard Saslow’s “Rag Picking” played on four different Parlor guitars that I’m fortunate to be the caretaker of.

I love smaller bodied guitars. I don’t want to start a debate on what constitutes a parlor guitar, but the largest of these is a bit smaller than a Martin 00 size. I’ve put them in order of smallest to largest for no particular reason except that it seemed like a fun way to do it. I would love to hear your thoughts on the guitars.

Full details are in the drop down description on YouTube

I hope you enjoy.

Bill,

I've been looking into Parlor guitars lately and came across this thread. It seems your original youtube link is broken. I did a quick youtube search and came across the following:

An undeaded thread, of course.

Here's the video, embedded. They all sound great.
