One of our all-time favorite classical luthiers, Mr. Daryl Perry has blessed us with his latest work of art, #228 in Brazilian Rosewood and Italian Spruce. We’ve been eagerly waiting for this one to arrive, and once we had it in hand our expectations were quickly met, then exceeded. The first words that come to mind are clarity, control, and presence. From a delicate touch to a more aggressive attack, we found this Perry Classical to be even tempered and resonant in the kind of way that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It is an intense instrument.
Daryl’s craftsmanship is delectably impeccable: one need only follow the curves of the flowers carved into the headstock for evidence of that. Marquetry trim along the back and sides, and a tight zigzag motif rings in the top, paired with the extensive rosette. A six-hole bridge and bridle-joined headstock nod to traditional construction methods, and the silver Rodgers tuners with MOP buttons completes the picture of a Classical guitar in perfect profile.
It’s an honor to offer this latest guitar from Daryl, and we look forward to discussing it with you.
