Yamaha GC41 Handcrafted Classical Guitar with CaseBack and Sides: Solid Honduras Rosewood

 

 

 

The GC Series represents Yamaha's new handcrafted line of classic nylon string acoustic guitars. Our craftsmen's close attention to detail guarantees the best quality. Whether you choose the warm sweet tone of Cedar or the clear rich resonance of Spruce, either top will provide you with outstanding quality. Next to the woods themselves, the bracing of the guitar top is the most critical factor affecting the instrument's final sound. 

Although the basic design is still very close to the original pattern proposed by Torres in the 1880's, refinements and improvements have been made to ensure optimum tone and volume with modern strings and playing techniques. The thickness of the third string in a nylon set tends to limit its movement at the bridge and nut causing it to respond as if it were shorter than the other strings. Yamaha eliminates this common intonation problem with a special offset step cut into the saddle at the third string.

Saverez Traditional trebles are made of rectified nylon which is characterized by a distinctive unpolished finish. This grittiness contributes to a lessening of the high overtones.

Waltz in D (Opus 211, No.3) by Carulli

PostDateIcon October 25th, 2009 | PostAuthorIcon Author: admin

You can get a free PDF copy of Waltz in D (Opus 211, No.3) by Carulli at…

http://www.learnclassicalguitar.com/carulli-waltz.html

This Carulli Waltz is a charming example of his work for the beginning to intermediate guitarist. Unfortunately, Carulli gained a reputation as being a rather facile composer when in truth he couldn’t get the publishers to publish most of his more difficult works. He was born in Italy in the same year as Beethoven (1770), he became one of the most popular and loved classical guitar composers and players of his time. Indeed, that love extends right up to the present day as new generations of guitarists “find” his music and make it their own.
