Last August I traveled to Austria to visit one of my favourite luthiers, Daniel Zucali. I interviewed him about what it is like to work in his field and also to see the process of building my new crossover guitar. This is the guitar that was featured in my last video ‘Yesterday’. Daniel had many interesting insights and knowledge to share, and the experience of seeing my guitar come to life was something really special.
The piece I am playing at the end of the video is 'Un Dia de Noviembre' by Leo Brouwer

    Stephanie, My mother was born 99 years ago on November 19th 1921. She passed away 5 hours ago, on this day in November. I could not have imagined finding this song in this video today. It is so beautiful and It is exactly how I will remember her. Thank you for this, I feel like you played it specifically for me, knowing I would need to hear it today. Chris

    I really apreciate you letting the artisan speak. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to hear a guitar maker speak so soon. It would be interesting to hear other artisans that make other instruments speak. I am poor and a beginner so I had to rely on my teacher to choose a guitar for me. It wasn't an personally made one, but I'll treasure it for my teacher's effort of travelling far with me to choose the best quality guitar I could buy with the money I had. By the way nowadays I think musical instrumets crafting is more interesting than weapon crafting. I came from martial arts so it used to be the other way around.

    Good luck on your journey, Bruno. I've been playing for over 40 years and the one thing you'll learn is that, in some ways, you're always a "beginner". I've played professionally since the late 1980s and I still learn new things all the time. That's one of the most beautiful things about being creative. Stay safe. Cheers from Florida.

    And a nylon-string archtop, my favourite unicorn! As a biologist I get a nice chuckly out of the story about altruism among trees, how they draw less water when they receive a signal that a neighbouring tree is not getting enough. We can't ever ask them but my guess would be that there's a less noble explanation: saving a resource that's getting scarce and preparing for a period of shortage. The effect is the same, of course :)

    Years down the road, you will fully realize that this was the most gratifying and rewarding purchase (of anything) you have made you're entire life. I've read much about violin making and about the famous makers.....worked for a custom guitar luthier (custom electric guitars) and can tell you without doubt that Daniel is a master builder of the very highest caliber. Play your new guitar a lot.....the more time you put on it the better and better it will sound. I have about a 40 year old Maderia by Guild that sounds absolutely wonderful to me.....and in beautiful shape too. You are making me want to start playing classical fingerstyle! I love my Maderia.....but your guitar is truly a modern day masterpiece!! Thank you for giving me the inspiration to play something more than neo-classical rock guitar.

    Amazing. Specially the texture is very good. I also think that was a special experience to be a part of the entire process and the comment which you share as "I feel a deeper connection with the instrument", I loved that. When I choose my own guitar, I felt that too. It is not like an unliving thing. Something breathing and feeling what I feel, loving me unconditionally, always there to discover deepest emotions inside my soul.

    Warmth from bass to treble, sustain, colors, perfect. Electrified electrifying without the shocks. People often understand things by defining what they are not - it happens here too, funny. Well, Ms. Jones, there is a song about you: "Have you met Ms. Jones?" and it needs an improvisational arrangement in the classical Spanish guitar style, I guess, to become your theme tune? Not an English nor a German native speaker - there was so much going on here. The fat Austrian accent - I had to stop reading the subtitle translation, close my eyes and listen, for me to understand what he was saying. If only not to get distracted by this girl, cute as a bug, flirting with the camera, that speaks in a down under English accent with hunches of a German accent. But it was the music that made me subscribe.
