Every guitar. A voice of its own.

THE SOUND · MANUEL CAMARGO

Seven recordings of my guitars in the hands of different players. Cypress, maple, pau ferro and spruce. The woods change; each instrument has its own character.

LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS

Sound begins long before the first note.

In every guitar I look for its own balance: depth in the bass, clarity in the treble and a response that supports the player. Wood, construction and small adjustments are all part of the craft.

These are not laboratory tests. Some were recorded at home on a mobile phone. The player, strings, room and recording device also affect what we hear. That is why these recordings bring together different guitars and different hands.

Seven recordings. Seven moments to listen.

Hear how each guitar responds in the hands of different players. Discover the subtleties of its sound, feel the character of the woods and find the voice that moves you.
