The first time I heard and saw a martin was a DXM, I did not know the brand so I was not influenced by the label, all that is aesthetically more sober and with this " her "that I once scored. Years later I bought the D15 (July 14, 2005) by deduction as you now know where I bought it in Germany of course ... (their site: guitar24.de). When you try toue a series of guitar Martin DXM to D28 fever rises in you! I set a limited budget and D15 correspond budjetaire that both the aesthetic and of course the big sound with a predominance in the lower ... I like!

UTILIZATION

What I liked:
Its rustic and warm as his appearance
Graves impressive (mahogany)
Effective "mute" as "full", a real lung!
No risk of height seen curling game
The smell of wood of course
It is light.
Some speak without laughing bonus after x years ... after a few months already it sounds a little less "green" standard in-store it is stored in its body vibration and air exchange.

SOUNDS

What I liked least:
It is quite vulnerable to marks and sweat (thin layer of varnish) put a T-short with long sleeves or you will quickly highlight the corner of the table, or you stall your right elbow (for right-handed)
It lacks a touch of crystal sounds found naturally in his big sisters.

OVERALL OPINION

When you buy new, place your hand on the table to feel what is not seen with the naked eye, mine is a bit bumpy and I did not immediately noticed, in principle it does nothing but good. Yesterday I gave a key to p'tit coup de neck slightly concave, normal scratches on a new one, it works!
If I change it will be for another model home ... Martin!
