A good hand-made guitar, however, is a different animal entirely. I don't know Brook except by reputation but if they are even half as good as that reputation makes them, we are playing in a different league.
Counter-intuitively, hand-made guitars are much more consistent than factory ones. A luthier shapes and thins the timbers to get the sound he or she wants, where a factory makes every part the same. Because wood varies, factory guitars vary too. (Exception: carbon fibre instruments, which can be made exactly the same every time.)
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
It sounded a bit zingy and thin on the E and B unwound strings when new but has mellowed and they sound warm and full now, it has sounded better and better each year. I don't know if it's the scalloped bracing but when played gently it doesn't die or go too quiet, it's still lively and loud. If you play a single note without dampening the other strings I hear this reverb type effect that is wonderful. The regular unscalloped braced D28 I had before it needed pushing hard to sound loud and the volume died completely when played gently.
My HD28 is the best sounding acoustic I've played or owned and is the embodiment of the sound I have always heard in my head for the perfect acoustic.
