Technology after all


The guitar structure has advanced during the years, looking for more projection of the sound. From 1850, the guitarists try to be too much louder, because the guitar can be translated to big concert halls, but it wasn’t until 90’s if he guitar thanks’ to the luthier Greg Smallman, he brings to the guitar a new technology, he’s combined a top with light weight and unique system of bracing, the top of  smallman guitar is braced using a framework composed of balsa wood and carbon fibre, 

This technologies, bring to the guitar a new sound (more Louder) and color(tone),in this way the luthier Smallman achievement gives a high step for the guitar.
Why this technology made the guitar to louder?
Thanks to the very slim top of the guitar, this can be vibrate more than oldest guitars models, but if the top its made without the system of bracing it would break, so, if you lok at the picture you can see the reinforcement of the top to do a his work.

of course this technology have adepts and deserters, because the guitars don´t have much volumes, and the expressivity has lost, a the same time, some people say, the guitar its so brilliant and lost the intimate sound of the guitar, but anyone can chose his  guitar and if a performer looks for guitars with other characteristics can be find a lot of other guitars whit other technologies and advances .

At the end of the way, the only think you need, is to be comfortable with your instrument.

The last english blog

Learn English in the university it should be mandatory, for our career we need to develop in this language, to read a lot of texts that have not been translated into Spanish, and that’s the only way to approach to the information of music, interpretation and musical theory. Most text of music are in English and the idea to take the same information in Spanish is a dream, because English is more universal. The use of blog, I think is necessary to approach to different topics and discover new areas of the language to use. Maybe, ask some opinions on some issues can be a good strategy, because (in my case) giving an opinion duplicates efforts to make themselves understood.
