<p>Scott is probably better placed to answer that. </p>
<p>Going by recordings alone is fraught with danger. There are a lot of variables - the Player mostly. The room, recording equipment and any post production all make comparisons extremely difficult. Going by descriptions is probably even worse! </p>

<p>Having said that, as a very general and rough guide: The small Stauffer (61 cm sl.) seems to have that often used term 'Piano like'. I think that describes how each string (or note) harmonises when playing chords. They all seem to blend extremely well. That's my overriding impression of the Stauffer. The Panormo is closer to the modern Classical Guitar sound but not as heavy sounding. The Lacote a little bright and 'woody' sounding, perhaps more descriptive of the wound bass strings. </p>
<p>I'm sure others will have their thoughts on the traits of the Stauffer et al. I've zero experience of the 8 string. </p> Thank you for your help. Mayb…tag:earlyguitar.ning.com,2014-04-27:2111060:Comment:517642014-04-27T19:20:39.871ZJohn Carterhttp://earlyguitar.ning.com/profile/JohnCarter
<p>Thank you for your help. Maybe you can help me further... :)</p>
<p>Are you able per chance to describe the sound quality of a Stauffer 8 string. Like the one that Scot Trembly makes.</p>
<p>I've heard recordings in youtube but somehow I don't trust the recordings that much because a lot is dependant on the microphones.</p>
<p>I'm grateful for any help.</p>

<p>Any romantic Guitar should be just as easy to play as any modern Classical Guitar. Perhaps slightly easier given that many play with slightly lower tension strings and shorter string length.</p>
<p>The 'action' should be the same (perhaps very slightly lower) - 4 mm on the bass E and 3 mm's on the high E.</p>
<p>The basic Fretboard geometry on a Romantic Guitar and that of a modern Classical need not be any different. </p>

<p>Hi Florian,</p>
<p>thank you for the information.</p>
<p>I was thinking that Sor would be easier to play because of shorter string length.</p>
<p>I am looking for a romantic that is rich in the higher frequencies, because I think they work better when playing chamber music.</p>
<p>So I think this is probably not the guitar I'm looking for, but thank you very much for your kind information.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>Hi John,</p>
<p></p>
<p>In the XIX century you know of course that some people played with nails and other without naisl on guitars. The majority of guitarists was playing without and using lute positon, resting the little finger on the soundboard.</p>
<p>This guitar has been built for an without nail playing because of the strings, wich are very low from the soundboard (6 or 7mm). So this is quite difficult to play this instrument with long nails.</p>

<p>This guitar has been built for an without nail playing because of the strings, wich are very low from the soundboard (6 or 7mm). So this is quite difficult to play this instrument with long nails.</p>
<p>The romantic guitars are generally a little less loud than a modern guitar. This one isn't loud because of its sound, wich rich bass frequencies.</p>
<p>Tha antiuqe guitars are sometimes in playing condition, like this one, but you sould know it is quite difficult to play, the setting has a little changed with the time and the action in XIIth fret is hight.</p>
<p>So you can play Sor, but don't imagine so easily you'll play ona modern guitar! It's much more difficult for the left hand. The register up to XII is very hard to play and the notee tends to "crack" when you play a little hard.</p>
<p>with kind regards</p>

<p>Hello Florian,</p>
<p>at the moment I'm more of a lute player playing without nails.</p>
<p>I miss the guitar repertoire and am looking for an instrument that suites playing without nails.</p>
<p>Do you have any experience in this direction?</p>
<p>How loud is this romantic guitar compared with modern guitars?</p>
<p>Does it suit the repertoire of Sor?</p>
<p>Best regars,</p>

<p>bonjour, merci de cette réponse. Surtout, ne venez pas exprès à Paris. Mais si vous avez l'occasion de monter, faites-moi signe - fin mars je devrais être dans les parages. Il m'arrive aussi de me rendre à Tours, mais rien de prévu dans les prochaines semaines. Je suis intéressé d'essayer cette guitare en regard de ma Monzino de 1810, pour cultiver mon oreille sur ces instruments italiens finalement assez rares...</p>

<p>Bonjour,</p>
<p>Il est toujours possible d'essayer cette guitare. En ce moment je suis un peu pris pour passer exprès sur Paris, mais il y a deux solutions : soit vous passez ici à tours (je peux faire l'aller-retour à la gare pour vous véhiculer jusqu'à chez moi), soit vous attendez que je monte à paris (normalement fin mars début avril).</p>
<p>Dans tous les cas ce sera avec plaisir,</p>
<p></p>
<p>à bientôt</p>
