| It's always
exciting to receive a new model concert classical guitar, especially one
as unique and advanced as the new Ruck model from the Kenny Hill Guitar
Company. Designed by legendary luthier Robert Ruck, this guitar creates
a completely new experience for player and audience. It is louder, sweeter
and uniquely captivating.
The essential
new elements are disarmingly simple. First, the soundboard fan is modified.
Every other fan bar is wider, and very thin. These 3 wide braces offer
a large surface to control the doming of the top. The nature of lamination
offers a great deal of strength with very little mass. This spreads soundboard
control more evenly, giving a very responsive top, and offering the player
the ability to mold the sound coming out of the instrument.
Second, there
are two 30 mm. holes sawn in the upper shoulders of the sides!!! These
extra sound holes seem to give the instrument extra power, especially in
the higher registers where lesser student models often fail.
This new design
of classical guitar seems to genuinely represent a welcome step forward
in the evolution of nylon strung concert instruments! |
