  Can we take a moment to recognize how good you play. Those pieces were flawless, one day when I sell my house I might buy a Smallman with the proceeds. 😆.

  People say these lattice guitars are just loud and projecting, but I think this is not true at all. This guitar sounds incredibly rich and nuanced.

  This is my first time viewing your channel. I sought it out because I was just curious if Greg Smallman were still being made. I’m pleased that they are. John Williams has been an absolute favourite of mine for decades. He received some negative press I believe in part because he extolled the character of the Smallman design. I have not had the pleasure playing a Smallman though I have been fortunate enough to see both John Williams and Ana Vidovic with her lattice braced Redgate guitar in person. Both artists and guitars were technical marvels and extremely expressive. Classical guitar is a very conservative and traditional art form so change is often not readily embraced. I have owned both lattice and fan braced guitars and certainly appreciate both.

  Thank you Evan for all that you do for the classical guitar world! Always love to "spend time with you" 👍

  You know, Evan... you are an inspiration on so many levels... here you play on these awesome instruments and not only do I learn what kind of instrument sends my heart aflutter and which is on my short list for eventual purchase, but also I learn of the pieces that I wish to add to my repertoire. Another thing these videos accomplish... they make me want to run to my guitar to practice. No matter how tiring my day is, your playing reminds me of my goals. And for all these things, I wish to thank you!

  To my ear, this Smallman sounds great. I've heard Smallman guitars that don't sound as warm.

  I enjoyed your "Julia Florida" on that nice guitar.

  Your point about how varied lattice guitars are from different Australian makers is worth repeating. It is obvious to Australian guitarists but perhaps not to players from elsewhere.

  Great video! So informative and I loved the playing too. I'll just add that the action adjustment feature works by changing the angle of the neck to the body. I mention it in case some folks might think it adjusts the action through the use of a truss rod. Appreciate your work!

  That musical piece you played was pure joy.
