The riches run deep in this one. The only way to make Kevin Ryan’s Cathedral Grand model even better is to add time, which this lovely number from 2002 has in spades. Two decades of music have opened up the Italian Spruce top and Madagascar Rosewood body for a voice that’s butter smooth and round, with great note separation and dynamic range. In a word, expansive. The setup is silk-smooth with a 25.7″ scale and 1.75″ nut, arm bevel, and florentine cutaway. All wrapped up in a custom Calton case, this Ryan Cathedral Grand is ready for another 20 years.
