STEEL OR NYLON STRINGS? Which sounds better? - AUDIO COMPARISON - Vintage Martin Parlor Guitar

#vintageMartin #SteelorNylon #guitardiscoveries
Which sounds better on a vintage Martin? Steel strings or Nylon strings? You be the judge!

Robert Cassard modifies his historic 1889 Martin 0-28, built during the era of "gut" strings. As one of the early Martin X-braced guitars, the strength of the bracing allowed the guitar to be "converted" to steel strings in the early 1900s without damaging the top or neck.

But what was the true, historic tone of this beautiful instrument? Robert explores some Martin guitar history; tells the story of how a Spanish woman wowed US concert audiences, giving Martin an international reputation; and takes his 0-28 back to its original sound.

Featuring excerpts from Mood For a Day (Steve How/Yes), Lo Rapido and Asturias (Leyenda), hear what a true vintage Martin sound like!

Robert Cassard shares guitars, gear and tips to make you a better musician.

Hi, my name is Robert Cassard. I'm a lifelong guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, and music fanatic. I create Guitar and Recording Discoveries videos with a simple goal: to make YOU a better, happier, more confident musician!

In 2018, after more than 40 years as a pro musician, I started sharing my experiences through easy-to-understand YouTube videos — giving you shortcuts to de-mystify playing, singing and recording.

My "day job" is as a video writer/producer/director. Often it's hard to balance my need to earn a living with my desire to share the pure joy of music through the YouTube videos I make for free.

Your ongoing support means the world to me and encourages me do more of what I love — sharing musical discoveries to help and inspire you! I invite you to become a "Guitar Discoverer” by signing up on Patreon so I can keep providing you the most value I can. https://www.patreon.com/robertcassard
