All user reviews of 5/5 for the Martin & Co D-28

Sitka massive table, back and sides solid indian rosewood, ebony and marquetry of separation of the back.
It's very simple but hints at a certain quality violin.
The wood of choice.

My model is 2001 and the nut and bridge origins in micas have been replaced by the fossilized ivory.

It should be noted that the D-28 has the particularity to have a "triangle" of wood back of the head in order to reinforce the junction of head-neck.

UTILIZATION

This is a guitar that accepts the most subtle touches as well as powerful accompaniments.
However playing on this guitar requires some energy. But the touch is soft and comfortable and the handle end for a more folk.

SOUNDS

Good buys are usually not a Martin by chance is 99% for sound, very distinctive, warm, clear, flute. The bass is powerful but not the guitar "snoring" what is really nice.
Listen to a D-28 immerses us inexorably in the era of Woodstock, reminds us of our instructors Collos, bearded hippies running their 2CV or their Dianes full of flowers and we playing Dylan, Beazer, Crosby Still Nash and Young .. .. This is what is required of a D-28!!
Ho, Of course I tried the HD-28 to the table given to sound more accurate, but colder, in the spirit of a Talor, D-18 with fewer less powerful bass ideal for recording, D-35 a bit less accurate but on a few models a bit more bass, but I'm a fan of the D-28.
In addition, Martin have a reputation to improve significantly over time.
And as I have absolutely no intention to part with it I hope to grow old with her.

OVERALL OPINION

I read somewhere in a magazine that playing on a D-28 is like smoking a big Havana and drinking a great wine, it is eaten and it delights to savor this moment the dream and I totally agree with the opinion of the journalist!
I play mostly on my Norman to get out my D-28 for special occasions to keep up.
This is the guitar of a lifetime to pass on to his children, from generation to generation. The build quality has not changed since 1931 and the makers have a unique expertise and are paid at a high price to keep this "secret".
It is true that the model I Posed was acquired from an American friend, guitarist professional Nasheville (Tennessee USA), carefully selected for its sound and its sutain among a host of D-28. But I have never heard of D-28 have a bad sound, some perhaps sounded a little "green" because they are too new but it does not matter, we must let the time.

In short you will understand I am madly in love with this great guitar, which brings me back to my childhood in these sweet 70's and if I seem to lack objectivity, forgive me it's unintentional, but this guitar to something magic that even the Gibson Hummingbird has not réhussie dethroned.

I'm like Patrice, I am D-28 in the skin. Just a shame that I am not asser good acoustic guitarist for Honnor at fair value.

- Gets it easy to sound good?

Obviously, we speak of the martin l; the D28 as the standard of what made the reputable brand.
Then this type of sound is a matter of taste, my best friend prfre it sounds less like modern mates in Taylor or Larivee, I owned a Taylor 310 and I found the Taylor n is not the same level

SOUNDS

J'dirais there is no sound dtestables but rather that the guitar is brand new it still sounds young and martins bonifient be on time, within 5-6 years I think it has matured well in this. Although the dj was 4 months that I played and I never tire of its rich equilibrated only harmonic

The game mdiator, the precision of the sounds (the guitar will not forgive any ball), the balance, was pleased to have a guitar that plenty of bass.

Ben my faith is never given a real but Martin is the fruit of sacrifices, an investment of a lifetime.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Hsitations no, it is malfique, it makes you want to play, too Likewise, it is hard to be reasonable. I've never felt better with a sound, and it's a kid that rve to a possder. When I would have done rule is Nirvana ...
