Most tweeters start putting out usable signal between 1.5 and 2 kHz. You can’t just wire a tweeter in as a second full range driver, so some kind of a crossover is required if only to block...
AFAIK, Joe and John Pisano were best friends to the end (at least that is what John Pisano told me). I still think it is sad that Joe's best friend and son would become bitter enemies after his...
Joe's carved D'Aquisto was sold to a rich collector pay for medical bills after his cancer Diagnosis. Joe's plywood D'Aquisto was in the possession of Joe Jr. when I talked to him 20 years ago. It...
Yes, that was interesting, I hadn't heard of him, which is unusual. He's an associate professor at Berklee, you know :smile-new:
The story of my 175 will haunt me to the grave. I got my first guitar (a United Elitone flattop for $10 new) at 9. By the time I was 11, I’d gotten good enough to justify a better guitar, and my...
All art will always change. Notwithstanding that, there's no harm in remembering, appreciating, acknowledging and enjoying great periods of art from the past. As has been said: "It's about preserving...
I use the tweeter on my RE Stealth 10ER cabinet. It's just too dark for my taste without some tweeter. It's adjustable, and I tend to run it between 1/4 and 1/2 up, depending on the head, the...
I get it. But then why do archtops sound so much brighter through FRFR?
The search engine is a bit quirky. I typed "Carvin," and while I got the Carvins, I got a bunch of other stuff that begins with C. Celestion, Cardinal, Custom...
Not many, if any, do - certainly private sellers. I've been looking at a lot recently for that purpose. From your post it sounds to me as though it's something a seller should or is obliged to do....
Or maybe it's one of the very few that has been recorded properly? Sadly I'm not aware of any recordings at all of the "classical archtops" Alan Carruth has built. Those are probably the only ones...
AFAIK he didn‘t record with it but he did make some videos with it. https://youtu.be/J5wOdikpRu8 He might have played it at some guitar shows or demonstrations. I don’t think he toured with it...
He had a distinct sound and style. Not sure if you want to put a label on it but I find his music quite moving and has great energy.
I’ve heard that story before. Probably from you LOL. Were Pisano and Joe on good terms when Joe was near the end of his life? I’m not aware they had a falling out. Anyway, I don’t see why it’s...
In my experience adjusting the tweeter on my Fishman Artist makes little difference to guitars with magnetic pickups, specifically archtops. I have read that magnetic pickups tend to produce...
