The versatility of an archtop

[mrwoland]

Hello,
I recorded the "Tema di Geppetto", written by Fiorenzo Carpi for the movie Pinocchio (1972), and I was pleased on how quickly I was able to get the sound I wanted.

Everything is played on my Mirabella archtop with Galli Strings AJF bronze flatwound.

To get different tones, I just changed the way I pick... It can go to very bright, thin sound, to a full one, which reminds me a tone similar to a classical guitar.
I used just one mic in front of the guitar.
Only exception: I blended a magnetic pickup for the bass part, to have more bottom.

I hope you like this arrangement.

Well done!
