Once Adirondack Spruce has been played in enough, the woke tones it's capable of are a thing to behold. Enter: this Petros Applecreek D model from 2009 with Brazilian Rosewood to boot. The voice is easy, smooth, and velvety rich; in the bass you have the perfect amount of emotive darkness, while the trebles remain cool and round and defined. The midrange is present and articulate to bridge the gap. What a fabulous fingerstyle instrument! The Adirondack soundboard has truly bloomed into a powerhouse since ’09, and paired with BRW and the large Petros D body (16” at the lower bout) the result is a big, energetic voice plus excellent string-to-string balance. What more could you ask for?
"A large dreadnought body works really well on this Petros. Bruce is known for a sparkling, shimmering sound and here you also get added bass response from the larger body." - Paul Heumiller
