Thanks for the explanations, Thomas and Deft. I have long been curious about this feature. Both guitars I mentioned in my post are each hand made by one person rather than a team of builders, so I have assumed that this feature is special and a quality that comes from a builder who takes time building his or her instruments. I don't often hear/read of folks discussing this particular aspect of building.

I am also appreciative of adding knowledge, especially Tom's explanations regarding his use of the double-sides. I knew that most builders who use double-sides would refer to sonic benefits, but I've never heard this articulated in quite the way that Tom presents...until just now! I was aware that the super-stiff rims would in fact delay or potentially even prevent the need for a neck re-set, since the typical guitar will find the sides flexible enough to allow the back to stretch slightly, and the for the entire guitar to deform enough over time for this to be an issue. With the adjustable neck-joint, neck-resets become a thing of the past...but the sonic benefits of double-sides makes good sense...and seems evident in practice, as well, considering the several double-sides guitars I've owned over the past several years.

Larry, could I ask what mics you're using for these demos?

Thanks for the interest/questions... The panels are standard office-cubicle dividers that I purchased long-ago from an office furniture supply store...used! I have occasionally attached professional foam panels to the panels, for my serious recording sessions. I also have a couple of stacked foam corner-bass traps directly behind me...but I don't have the area closed off with additional panels behind the mics/camcorder...although I have a few more panels for additional isolation, if I ever do another CD release and want to record here at home (as I did for my last two CDs). It's all in my "office", an upstairs bonus room, about 14' x 26', with hip walls and a low-ish ceiling...not the greatest recording environment. I also did *not* shut off our HVAC (forced air) system for these casual recordings. Mics: A pair of DPA 4011A condenser mics...yes, I spoiled myself with these mics a good number of years ago...great for on-stage and for recording.

Hi Larry,
I saw your vids in S&T a few days back and will repeat here my comments because I agree with your thoughts about Thomas Rein guitars in as much as I've heard them played and researched his unique build features, tho I've never had the pleasure of laying hands to one. * Lovely playing as always Larry and I enjoyed your music and videos. ** Congrats on your fine instrument, I've been intrigued by Thomas Rein guitars ever since I heard Brian Rankin play them a few years ago. They are very musical, yet they don't clutter the melody and your precise technique really brings that out. Nice presence in those walking bass notes too! They have some unique build features, and yours looks beautiful. Cheers and joyful 2018 wishes! eric alabiso
