Comments

 

Ken is a truly gifted luthier.  The workmanship, his choices, the clean lines, and the brilliant resonance of this instrument is truly magnificent.  This guitar is a ringing resonant wench.  The flat profile neck is fast and comfortable.  The workmanship is truly exceptional.  I played her for about an hour today, having to stop to take care of other business.  I did not want to stop playing her.  A very warm lyrical Spanish sound is evident in the instrument.  The trebles are to die for, while the basses pound a beautiful tone to the room.  This is a great instrument.

 

Sound Files Whisler 17 - a brief medley of Valerie's Air and Samantha's Lullaby - straight recording leaving the mic on from beginning to end, no editing - 1db noise redux - Reverb level of 60 to relieve any dryness
