    Review of Martin D35 Guitar, Sweetwater, and Dan's Music Center:…read moreI was a bit apprehensive when I decided to buy my first Martin D35 acoustic guitar online. After reading the posted reviews of the various online guitar stores, I settled on Sweetwater (Fort Wayne, IN). When I called, I got Jesse Duquette. Jesse had previously owned 50 guitars and it was comfortable speaking with him. He answered my questions and opened my eyes to other facts and styles I needed to consider with the guitar. Most important is that Jesse indicated that there is a 2-year warranty on the guitar, and that he and members of the Sweetwater team will be there anytime should I have a concern. When the guitar arrived, I had to wait 24 hours for the package to become acclimated to the temperature and humidity before taking out the guitar. When I finally opened the box, pulled out and tuned the guitar, I was absolutely delighted with the mellifluous sound of the Martin D35. The action was low, which I desired, but I had a vibration when I played the 5th (A) string. Jesse suggested I take the guitar to a luthier who could adjust the truss rod and that Sweetwater would reimburse me for the cost. I took my Martin D35 to Dan's Music Center (Warwick, RI) where I was greeted by Dan Ryder the owner and luthier. Dan was about to have a bite to eat but stopped, so he could assist me. Dan took the time to adjust the truss rod which cleared up the buzzing. Dan charged me nothing to fix the issue for I could tell he understood and respected the quality sound that comes with the Martin D35 guitar. In summary, although I had initial trepidation with the online purchase of my guitar, I was extremely happy with the service I received at Sweetwater (Fort Wayne, IN) and at Dan's Music Center (Warwick, RI) - and would recommend both companies without reservation. I also would highly recommend Jesse Duquette (of Sweetwater) and Dan Ryder - the owner and luthier of Dan's Music Center (Warwick, RI). Finally, thanks to Martin & Co for making my beautiful sounding Martin D35 guitar. Len in RI

His prices are excellent and he keeps a stock in the store that combines the expected high-volume (!) items with some lesser known gems. There is a nicely-curated selected of used guitar amps there with some superb treasures for those with a good eye. Dan does a great job listening to what you are looking for, guiding you to the "best fit," even if it is something he doesn't stock or sell -- he has the best interest of the customer in mind. I brought Dan a vintage Fender Jazzmaster (late 1960s) that has great sentimental value for me. One of the pickups had stopped working -- it turned out to be a break in the wire deep in the windings. Instead of doing the quick fix (swapping the pickup out for a new one), he arranged to have Lindy Fralin replace just the windings, keeping it as close to the original "vintage" as possible. Not as profitable for Dan as selling me a new pickup, but it was the right thing to do for the guitar. Like I said, this place is the "real deal"!

In fact the largest purveyor of viola da gambas in the country. The second question?, What exactly is a viola da gamba? The viola da gamba is a musical instrument, actually a family of musical instruments that are superficial similar in appearance if not in sound to modern strings. The bass , which is about the size of a cello is the most common and the usual solo instrument but trebles, tenors and the large violone also exist. The gambas showed up in the late 1400's, about the same time as the modern violin and cello but are not an ancestral to the modern strings. The two families seemed to have developed contemporaneously and then for some reason the gamba fell out of favorite around 1750. Some absolutely incredible music was composed for it, music that is now usually performed on modern strings. In spite of the similar appearances some important differences between the two families exist. First of all the gambas have movable frets, the modern cello has no frets. The gambas have six strings, cello four. The bow is held with an underhand grip with the gamba, over hand with the cello. The gamba also use gut strings, cello or violin occasional gut but usually synthetic strings. Gambas were usually played in families during the Renaissance but then during the Baroque the bass became the solo instrument and the smaller instruments become scarce. It's difficult to verbalize sound but the timbre of the gambas tend to be softer, less refined and more transparent than the modern strings. Well suited for the polyphony of early music, the sound becomes extremely obvious once heard. Of course you just can't walk into any music store and get a gamba, you have to find a maker. Charlie not only makes fine gambas but also Baroque violins and cellos and has a workshop in Beijing where he manages to produce fine beginner instruments at a reasonable price. Reasonable at least for a anachronistic musical instrument that virtually nobody plays anymore. Charlie also has books, bows, cases and an endless supply of extremely poor musical jokes on his website. He does not have a store but does occasionally appear at various early music shows throughout the country. I have met him numerous times and he always has been helpful and friendly. Once he spend considerable time with me explaining the best way to adjust, tune and tie the damnable frets. Other times we just talk about technique and interpretation of the the music. I purchased both a treble and tenor gamba from him and once I got over the initial difficulties of adjustment, love both instruments. Charlie is obviously not in it just for the money. So if you like music, history or better yet musical history check out his web site. Music has been around for a long time and did not always sound like it does today. Who knows, you might end up buying a gamba and start exploring the polyphonic world of centuries past. Strange instrument can make great music
