Dull day so pictures aren’t great. If the sun ever comes out again I may take some better ones.
Regular viewers
may recall that I was asking about parlour guitars. Anyway some idle browsing on the internet found me a lovely pre-owned Furch Vintage 1 OOM at The Fellowship of Acoustics in The Netherlands. It truly is in mint condition with no sign of use.
Spruce and Rosewood with Mahogany neck it’s probably a “large parlour”, but there doesn’t seem to be an agreed definition. A little smaller than my Lyn but about the same depth. Satin finish which is perhaps the only downside; I think gloss really brings out the beauty of the Rosewood.
As soon as I tuned it up any lingering concerns about smaller guitars being “boxy” or lacking bass or volume were instantly dispelled. Lush, balanced tones. I’ll try to sort out a recording once I’ve rebuilt my studio; my son’s home from university and has selfishly reclaimedmy studio his bedroom.
Great service from TFoA, negotiated a price on Sunday by email, placed the order and it arrived yesterday (the following Wednesday if you’re from the future).
