Randy Stein Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This is from yesterdays rehearsal with DC Ambiance in preparation for Saturdays concert. The tune is Blue Drag written in 1935 by Django Reinhardt. https://soundcloud.com/user827948939/blue-drag-practice-7-3-19 Moved from previous posting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim2010 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Great music. Do you know the maker of the guitars? Are they nylon string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Stein Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Buco, the lead player, says his guitar is made by Risto Ivanovski. It's a Selmer Jazz model copy. He uses Optima brand, Hot Club line. Argentine Savarez are the most commonly used though. Both the guitar and the strings are specific to the genre but that's not to say that this guitar wouldn't work well as all around acoustic guitar. His strings are silver steel as most gypsy jazz players tend to use. Bill says his guitar is a Shelly Park. She's a luthier in Vancouver. His strings he uses are Argies like most others use.
