Player Reviews:
"Marc's voice is so compelling, clear, powerful, sweet and warm. Some makers know how to get it all out of mere wood, Marc is one of them. I particularly like the mix of brilliance and depth that this GC possesses. It plays very easy over the entire fingerboard and the Cocobolo set is luscious. " - Paul Heumiller
"This elegant Maingard has a strong woody voice with a ton of dynamic range. It sounds great playing softy and subtly, yet does not wimp out when you really dig in either. If you are looking for an instrument that can cover a lot of sonic ground, and is a breeze to play, you should check it out. " - Steven Dembroski
