Add to Compare1999 Smallman Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
Here we have an incredible example of how and why Greg Smallman changed the world of the classical guitar. From 1999 this instrument has more than stood the test of time, and it shows in sonorous saturation of the air around it when it is played. The progenitor of the “Australian Style” classical guitar, Smallman’s work is unparalleled and often imitated. Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, Cedar top–these are quintessential ingredients for the Australian sound, and this instrument delivers that in abundance.

Add to Compare2005 Smallman Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
Classical lutherie royalty: Greg Smallman. This 2005 Smallman is all dramatic Brazilian Rosewood, Cedar, and explosive tone in the way only a Smallman can. The Cedar top is exquisitely thin, paired with a sturdy rim for maximum projection and power, and the heavily domed BRW back adds additional space to the instrument’s air cavity. A thin arm rest keeps the top free from the right arm’s damping effects. A guitar this rare and valuable, you must have a quality flight case to keep it safe. This one comes swaddled in a white Karura, one of our all-time favorite flight case manufacturers.

It is exceptionally loud–even without having to drive it hard, this guitar will genuinely fill up a room with profound and complex tones.

This is a life-changing guitar that will make a perfect instrument for the concert perfomer.
“All the guitars at Dream Guitars are special and unique. Occasionally, a guitar lands here that is truly outstanding. The 1995 Greg Smallman is one such guitar. It has exceptional volume, power, balance and clarity. When I played this guitar, the sound seemed to congeal a few feet in front of the instrument and just hang there–for a really long time. The clarity and balance of each note within a chord is palpable, and the the notes just leap out of the instrument. The magic of this guitar is truly something to behold.” – David Stevenson
