UTILIZATION

Handle very thin, flat, need can be a small (very small) adjustable at millimeter ropes to lower 12 ... and facilitate the game (this is a 12-string)
like any 12-string, requires endurance work staff significant (for my part I try to practice one hour per day)

SOUNDS

This is where we enter the heart of the matter ....
as any Martin, the sound of angels down. there is simply no better.
even her older sister (D12-28) is less fine for my taste.
is a clarity, richness, a sustain, harmonic complexity as I think (this is only my opinion) that this guitar is made for extremely refined styles of music and do unsuitable for most accompaniment of music "current"
I use it with either a C414 or a U87 coupled to a small avalon 737, and uses only a very slight chorus, reverb appropriate, and nothing more.
Briefly, this instrument not nest a guitar in the sense we understand it, but rather an instant generator of happiness ...
1100 for a few euros, we are not better in my very humble opinion.

I concluded with this: if you are like me a fan of the early parts of Genesis 12 strings (intro and interludes), the DM12 shake your throat and you will get into a great emotion ...

OVERALL OPINION

Norman also has a 12, picked up by Fishman, to add another color facing "multi string 12"
