My Pagelli is not getting played, has never left the house, and is in better than new condition. The frets and action were tuned up by archtop guru Ken Parker. He also replaced the “Chinese Kent Armstrong” with a genuine Kent Armstrong 12 pole pickup. He set up the pole pieces for phosphor-bronze strings, going for a maximally acoustic tone, even when amplified. Of course if you prefer flats it is easy to readjust the pole pieces. If you haven’t played a Pagelli you are in for a treat in terms of clarity, balance, and ease of playing. With a finely carved thin top it is as light as a feather and the wonderfully artistic shape actually makes it more comfortable to play than a standard 17” (more like a 16” or less) – the position of the waist puts the lower bout further back.
