Lowden O 10

Acoustic guitar Irish handmade.
Jumbo.
satin varnish.
Ebony fingerboard, cedar top, mahogany back and sides.
Gotoh Tuners.
Strings to buy: D'Addario EXP 12-53 prosphora bronze.
Channel end, flat and broad, large frets
Thin sheet of transparent protection, well done!

UTILIZATION

It is perfect for fingerpicking, good for the flat.
The violin is very neat, the aesthetics of good taste, precise mechanical, light body, nice touch with satin varnish which gives the skin soft therefore quite fragile.
Attention to those who think that good acoustic guitar rhymes with an easy game as electric. No, here it takes some energy and good hands to play correctly.

SOUNDS

The sounds are quite round for folk, do not expect the next "martinet" unique to Taylor.
Bass, all is balanced and accurate sound projection.
Magneto on my little rotten it sounds very good! Lowden it sounds, you know. So a sound character!
It would be very restrictive to limit the Irish folklore.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year (already ??!?!!!)
We always talk about Martin and Taylor (correctly), but Lowden is also very good. Irish guitar that is balanced with the guitars of the Atlantic.
The value for money (paid new € 1900) is good: it's worth it!
It is a simple guitar, which gives off a touch, a sensuous, with a folk sound "smooth".
The same choice? re-read my mind!

Lowden Jumbo entry-level very little detail finish.
Cedar, fairly thin and tender.

UTILIZATION

- Handle some three broad, very nice.
- No cuttaway, access to acute is not easy.
- Very light even if you install a micro fishman preamp type in the box
- I had to wait four years for that sound really balanced (although initially it was already very good), but since .... what happiness

SOUNDS

- I play the traditional music and is perfect for this use (accomp. pick, picking, DADGAD ...)
- Tone in the same round very sharp, one can find classical guitars sound very smooth but can also be very aggressive .. +

The overall volume is very powerful

OVERALL OPINION

- I play for 10 years (re-varnished table, refrettée, Chevallet again for a bone part)
- The most: rich sounds, playability ..
- Minimum: accuracy, frieze at the beginning (it is set!)
- I bought it at the time 9000 frank, if today I find a little instument of this quality to price let me know!

Ireland
strip without emg preamp.
All solid guitar. Violin class lgre, reliable, sensual.
This is an entry in Lowden!
One problem: the double bridge saddle that allows the use of only double sensor array. arduit damn choice.

UTILIZATION

Channel folk, picking pens, everything sounds great ease of the severe acute throughout the other of the handle, and the balance forever.
1 or 2 times a year I amne in the luthier (Richard Caro Bordeaux), to wear hoops or a micro problem, it does not move - for a massive?!
In mdiator it is not worth scrapping. It will always sound, without saturating, but the projection of sound is so deep that it is really unnecessary. It is more sound than most Martin, more characters than Taylor. It makes me think a Levine + + but powerful. Scne on, it's best stopper rose against the Larsen, the ideal is a microphone in front of the bridge.

SOUNDS

balance, lgante, race. 6 years and it still gets better, I sleep more!
I ride the Martin SP light, it's crazy, what prsence, what lgance!
Jou in my country picking, flat-picking and flat, period ... A rgal and outside the rail Martin. In mdiator it is not worth scrapping. It will always sound, without saturating, but the projection of sound is so deep that it is really unnecessary. It is more sound than most Martin, more characters than Taylor. It makes me think a Levine + + but powerful.

Today I play stuff over merger tsigano Latin-folk, with a finger directly from my studies of the classics. One can make this a guitar, a password and technically sound, and COHRE lgant remains lgant and COHRE.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the kind of guitar hard characters. It's not like one side of this quality is only a matter of taste. Attention to accompany the song, you need a (e) singer (euse) with a good voice timbre, if not she will (a) eat.
