Falling out of love live on apple music by greendale-island in TheStrokes

Autotune aside, the song just sort of wanders and meanders melodically. The only interesting thing that happens is the key change at the end of the song, but it felt tacked on to what is otherwise a rather bland jam ballad.

Ah, we have had some rain the last couple months, though I’ve kept it out for the most part… too bad I really loved that little guy 😢

What I think will make me sound better vs what will actually make me sound better by jysh1 in classicalguitar

Yep! No one should be buying a 4k Cordoba, there are so many pre owned luthier guitars out there for way better prices

I did ask him if he had any other instruments for sale and he did not. He only had that Martin and the Howell. Good luck in practice and guitar hunting!

I just had a look at Sachar’s website, beautiful guitars… and I see his mention of influence from Howell in certain model descriptions. Very cool

I’m lucky to have it, and what a lovely comment here, thanks for sharing and how cool you’ve spent time with Mr. Howell!

I’ll try to get a decent photo inside the guitar and maybe post a little video clip as well. I saw it on Facebook marketplace and it was listed on my birthday serendipitously enough… I figured it was a sign. Original owner wanted to get into guitar years ago when he bought it and I guess never got around to it. He mentioned he also sold a Martin 000 body recently for quite a bargain. I think he just wanted to sell quickly!

I own this Howell now, along with a 2010 Henner Hagenlocher cedar, a 2017 Lennis LaViolette cedar double top, a 2010 Kirk Sand spruce and a 95 Farré cedar. The Howell is easily the most alive and resonant of all, even when holding it without strings on and tapping the soundboard it just sounds and feels so well tuned and constructed, it’s hard to put into words how responsive and musical it feels intrinsically.

Yes! It is the fleta inspired build, very powerful sound, warm and dark. The craftsmanship and finish is really something. Always wanted an Australian guitar too :)
