A guitarist goes to a luthier seeking a good instrument.
He tries a few and then finds an incredible guitar, with wonderful projection. He falls in love with it and asks: “what kind of bracing does this guitar have”.
Luthier: “traditional fan-bracing”.
Guitarist: “oh sorry, I’m looking for lattice or double-tops. Fan-braced just don’t have enough volume.”
Another guitarist goes to the same luthier seeking a good instrument.
He tries a few and then finds an incredible guitar, with wonderful projection, tone… He falls in love with it and asks: “what kind of bracing does this guitar have: lattice, fan, or is it double-top?”.
Luthier: “neither nor. This is a completely new design with a very different unique bracing: semi-inverted fan with partial lattice”.
Guitarist: “oh sorry. I’ve never heard of it and know of no guitarist that plays that. I’m looking for something that is more well-known. I don’t think the audience would like something else.”
Typical guitarists at luthier’s expositions and fairs:
At a loud, reverberating hall of luthiers and vendors (at a guitar festival) the guitarist tries various guitars. He still wants to get people to notice him. He starts playing an aggressive loud flashy piece of music, making weird body-movements as if ecstatically a genius in the music, in the moment.
Of course at the same time there are other guitarists close by doing do same. So it becomes a contest to show them who’s the king of them all.
He starts pumping out a Piazzolla that is all distorted. The other guy starts with the Finale of Ginastera’s Sonata. Another guy hammers out Asturias. Now there’s another one Another one starts beating the shit out of the guitar: what the fuck -> is that Rocktypicovin or is it Kampela’s Percussion study??? Now another guy starts doing loud flamenco strumming.
Can you imagine the accumulated noise???!!!
