Paganini, Niccolò - Ghiribizzo No. 12 - Gut and Flesh Approach

I did this little recording quick to show how the same piece here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=89278 might sound played a semitone lower on gut strings without fingernails. Guitar is the same - just the strings are different :)

Nice interpretation with soft sound. Thank you for sharing.
I think the sound is slightly saturated on this recording.
You could try to adjust your recording sound level and microphone position.

Thanks! So you think less input level and maybe a placement further away?

Like it, thanks for posting! Would you say there is much difference in volume between the gut strings and the nylon?

I don't notice much difference in volume - what is different, though, is the timbre. I prefer the gut strings to nylon for playing without fingernails. Maybe I just haven't found a good nylon string for flesh playing yet...but I have tried many. I've got Aquila Perla's lined up to try next when these gut strings wear out. Thanks for listening!

Sure, the timbre is great - I was just looking for the catch!

I would say the catch is cost and intonation. Others say durability too but maybe I play soft or something because they last forever for me!
