Default Rialto - One Take Performance on my Kostal Modified Dreadnought

Hello everyone!

I hope you enjoy this video of my original piece Rialto that I just uploaded. It's part of my One-Take series and i played it on my Kostal Modified Dreadnought in The Tree and German Spruce.

Rialto is inspired by an early morning walk through Venice, Italy and a moment of calm surrounded by sublime architecture when the streets were deserted. It was recorded with a matched pair of Gefell M300s and no EQ, reverb or effects were added.



All the best

Michael
