Audio comparison of 2 falcate SS and an X brace all mine.

Post by johnparchem » Sat Jan 20, 2018 7:52 am

I am about ready to ship my latest Falcate braced steel string so I thought it worthwhile to record the difference between the two falcate SS guitars that I still have: My WRC\Cocobolo Martin sized 00 and my Spruce\Koa Gore medium sized SS guitar. As an additional bonus I recorded the same tune on an x braced Martin size 00 with a sister top to the first guitar I listed. These were recorded with a Rode NT 1A Condenser Microphone about 4 feet away. All recorded in the same seating nothing done to the file.

Too much room noise

I tried again this time with the mic a AKG C1000S, about 250 mm away pointing at the 12th fret
