Thanks for bringing Ms. Goni together with these fine guitars. Thank you also for not enhoncing the sound. I find distressing the habit of vendors adding reverb, etc. to recordings. It is a deceptive practice. The Santos is my favorite. Her playing and the sound of the guitar is a revelation. I hope that Ms. Goni had the opportunity to hear the recording of herself playing the Santos. I would think that she would not be disappointed. Thank you again. More!

Thanks for sharing David. Really nice from both you, Mr. Miles and Antigoni to record this and share it with us. Great work.

Antigoni Goni, she plays very very well, with variety and quality of sound, perfect style, great musicality.

She is truly in love with every note she produces..

thanks for this film,your films are the most informative and at the same time enjoyable,keep em coming!!!

Absolutely remarkable and a way more important video than meets the eye at first blush. The things that can happen in a simple room with the right people and pieces of wood in it... Thank you for the experience.

When I first heard this session several months ago, I was most impressed by the 1940 Hauser, the "piano" as Antigoni Goni calls it, but at this later listen the Santos Hernandez is dazzling me. What a wonderful collection of great instruments. Thanks again for the upload.

That was such an interesting talk! I love the the realization that you should not impose your will on an instrument, but rather approach it in a spirit of discovery. Only then will it show you the best way to play it for it to reveal its unique character.

Incredible! I can only imagine what the guitars must sound like in person. Thanks much for sharing the guitars and the discussion. I was especially interested in the comments about the Romanillos guitar and the point that the player must learn the individual guitar's characteristics. Makes me think about how difficult or intuitive the builders must be to create fine instruments that have "hidden" tone that can only be brought out by talented guitarists. I never thought about that before this video... Also, much appreciate the generosity and sense of responsibility to share these wonderful guitars with the public.

I loved her description of the Hernandez. Great video!

She is such an elegant and expressive player. One of the most musical of the Great Guitarists. Her sound on the Hausers - all of them - is my idea of a beautiful classical guitar sound.

Very interesting.

My neighbour had inherited an electric guitar from an uncle. When he heared I play welectric guitar he said to have also a guitar but doesn't play. I asked to have a look at it and when I saw this old gibson case I became very curious... My mother was given a Yamaha g-100 for her birthday somewhere at the late sixties but never played it and always just stood there in our house. Then when I was 14 years old I became interested to play and took lessons... My teacher wanted to see and play my guitar for inspection.. He played and when he was done he asked me if I was interested to sell the guitar. Then I knew, although not being a very expensive guitar it was something special in my hands...a annomely in a production guitar. Of course I was disappointed in my teacher that he wanted to take a very good guitar from his student so he would replace it with a lesser one..

Very enjoyable, as always! I'd love for you to set up a double blind test, blindfold the guitarist and cover up the headstock and rosette so us out in cyber-space can't recognise the guitar either. Throw in some less known makers too. Then see if our reaction is modified by being ignorant of the mystic of the maker and we can tell what is a great guitar just because it is a great guitar.Interestingly I thought the SH sounded glassy (in a good way!) too!

+selfTaughtGirl that would be a great idea! I have a $1,500 Esteve and when I asked my teacher if an expensive guitar would benefit my playing he said no. He is a guitar builder and said that my guitar satisfies all the requirements necessary for the instrument. It's like driving not like driving a Honda or a Ferrari, although the cost seems to reflect that relationship. My teacher Peter Yates plays on a really old and what looks like a beat up instrument yet he is one of the best players I have heard.

What a revelation! What gorgeous instruments, and beautifully demonstrated. I came from a video of a cardboard guitar that sounded OK and I wanted to hear instruments that would provide a top level concert quality reference for comparison. This video goes considerably beyond that goal. (I quickly realized how less complex the cardboard sounded, back and sides with spruce top, despite the precedent of Torres having made one to back up his contention that the top was really the determinant, more than the rest, of the sound of a guitar.) But these instruments are stunning in the beauty of their sound. This has been an education for me.

Can't help but wonder how Segovia would compare the Hauser to modern guitars such as the Smallman guitar that John Williams and other concert guitarist now play.

People of culture

learning to bring out the best in a guitar is a wonderful experience - it reminds me of my marriage (good things take time and require work)

I think Segovia's choices were based on more than just personal preference, but also on how deeply he could see into music and musicality and communicate that to Hauser. And in turn, it was Hauser's genius to be able to give Segovia choices by being able to bring forth what Segovia was talking about out of the wood boxes that he built. Regarding the Metropolitan home for Segovia's Hauser, I hope they play it once in a while rather than just letting it rot. My guess is, from a preservation standpoint, is that it will last longer if it is treated as guitar rather just an artifact.

I do not hear the same amount of the note distinction from Cedar topped instruments. The grain structure of Cedar is not as stiff as that of Spruce. The natural vibrational immediacy of the sound isn't as immediate with the same amount of effort from the player.

Classical guitar tone is very much an acquired taste I myself don't care much for the glassy shape of treble strings from some of the older guitars - but much prefer a dryer and much closer to the tone-wood type sound.

I’ve never understood the fascination with Hauser’s guitars, to my ear they are harsh and shrill - a typical bad sounding spruce guitar. Miles of course is the quintessential guitar salesman using his “psycho~Acoustics to suggest things that can only exist in his own mind such as country of origin etc. I think he couldn’t identify what country a guitar came from in a blindfold test if his life depended on it.

This week he is leaving a Hauser 1930 Llobet copy for me to duplicate for him, I made him a copy of the Torres 1862 which he said sounded better than the original. I’ve posted some detailed photos of a few of these guitars on my website in the blog section. I’ve played Maestro Ray Del La Torre’s 1951 Hauser at his home, the very guitar I grew up listening to and idolizing when I was a teenager, a dream come true. I owned a 1972 Romanillos as well, a guitar I really didn’t like. The point is I was not overly impressed by any of them, I especially thought the Bouchet was horrible, (my apprentice first guitar was better than the Bouchet according to those who heard them) two of his Torres are featured on GSI KZread channel under 4 Torres guitars. The Torres of course are old and played out. So in general I’m seldomly expressed with these “magical” historical guitars. To be honest I could convince anyone they are hearing amazing things in a Yamaha guitar. The best guitars are being made today.
