Stefan has been building scantling guitars for years. It's very, very diffficult to tell that these are multi-piece BRW guitars, so good is the woodworking and matching; the BRW is very dark. Even the sides are doubled horizontally. The BRW is such high quality that Stefan felt obliged to make guitars from it, despite their small size. I still have a video up of me playing mine, 9 years ago - audio sounds horrible these days! That was the guitar Martin used on "Kind Letters". People reading this who haven't played a Sobell really ought to try. It's very difficult to get across how unique the sound is. The most identifiable builder to my mind. Rory Dowling is very heavily influenced by Stefan and Nigel Forster, although Nigel's guitars have very much their own sound these days. Cheers, Steve |

Love these videos Michael - perfect production and the mix of excellent luthiers, wonderful guitars and a fabulous player are a real treat.
Any scope for further Luthier Stories - Fylde, Lowden, Brook perhaps

My, that Taran sounds great. People really need to get past their Maple aversion as a tone wood, I own a maple Kinnaird OM that I believe is one of the best sounding guitars I own certainly, but among the best I have heard. I believe you own a Maple Kostal which is fantastic and now this Taran Maple among many others. My belief is that Maple may be one of the very best tonewoods especially in a talented luthier's hands! Just my opinion. maple.jpg
