Review of a Dake Traphagen spruce doubletop www concert classical guitar com
After the cedar top double-top guitar, we commissioned Dake to build for us a spruce top. This one is as good as the cedar top but with the spruce top sound characteristics which brings a nice string separation. The guitar is still a warm sounding guitar. The spruce top with the rosette is wonderful. Listen to our video to discover Dake’s guitars.
Dake is maybe one of the most famous US double-top guitar makers. He is still using a lot hand tools. His guitars are played by great musicians.
This double top gives the response a surprising liveliness. Whereas certains double-tops could be too dark and/or too projective with a short sustain: this one is well balanced between projection and sustain. Although the overall sound colour is warm, there is some brightness in the guitar which produces an elegant musicality. The notes are thick and creamy. Playability is more than perfect.
Lots of pleasure from a light instrument.
