SOUNDS

great sound !

OVERALL OPINION

10/10

Amricaine brand but made in China.
Zero-fret 21 frets +
Selmer copy the original dimensions (pitch shorter than a Gitane DG 10).
Table pica solid rosewood back and wicker covers, mahogany neck, fingerboard and bridge, rosewood mustache, mechanical Grover vintage, bone nut, tailpiece Delaruelle, wood binding ...
Manouche guitar with beautiful CHARACTERISTICS mritent a 9 / 10 (without the imperfections of the glues I would gladly put a 10)

UTILIZATION

The neck at nut 45 mm (trs form of more bomb) is not made for little hands, but suits me perfectly.
Access to treble is consistent what we can expect from this particular type of guitar: enough!
RAS for ergonomics, this type of guitar is played sitting down. The weight is the same as that of a competitor or Gallato Gitane.
From the outset it was typical gypsy sound, so that we are looking into buying this kind of guitar ...

SOUNDS

Fits perfectly than a lover of Swing Manouche.
The sound is powerful and mallable under attack mdiator (a very hard 2 mm) ... plays the fingers can also do some fun classic.
That's exactly what I wanted, so a 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four months.
Most: sound, exemplary finish of the instrument, the price (620)
The -: The mcaniques grover wrong with a bit of a tool like this (but they still perform their function well trs) - it's just a lack of taste.
The ratio price quality seems excellent: I have a Gitane DG prfre 10 that a little more silent CHRE, trs good too but not enough to make the difference in terms of price.
With four months of experience, so no doubt I would do the same choice: the little Dell'Arte exactly in the middle of the range I was looking for!

I bought today a DELL ARTE smallmouth, model Pigalle (550 €).
Beautifully crafted, powerful and a little aggressive (dry / metallic).
It sounds very gypsy.

To amplify, in my opinion, this is not pie (small mouth = some space), but for now is just to familiarize myself with Django style.
And it sounds ...!
I do not regret it.
