The ''Nashville'' full sizer is really nice. And it's highish setting suits my style of playing perfectly.
for £1500 to £1700, you are getting a great bargain as it sounds better than anything else I've played in the cheaper price ranges, and resonated all the way round the whole shop, which is large, very nicely.
I use a percussive, and slapping style, and it felt so natural, easy, and instinctive on the Nashville.
I don't hang around in music scenes where all the usual folk scene snobbery matters. If it sounds right, it IS right. Who gives a mankey's donkey if it isn't an antique hungarian thing made from rare trees or some nonsense. I have a particular style, and anything that fits with that style is RIGHT for me. And for that price? The nashville is a winner really.
