Dieter Müller 2024 Doubletop Classical Guitar Demo and Review | GuitarCollection.com

I wanted to make a proper video on this incredible instrument by German luthier Dieter Müller made in the year 2024.

Dieter Müller is best known for making powerful doubletops, that aren't just loud, but clear, and colorful - with a bonus of having very singing trebles. I'll save the rest of the words for the video!

It seems that all of these attempts to increase the loudness of the guitar, just produce a louder transient spike on the attack of the note, and fail to increase the loudness of the sustain. For very percussive playing this may be advantageous, but to my ear, this produces an abrupt dynamic envelope that pokes more than sings. I applaud the modern makers for their willingness to try new things, and I wish the best for them, but for the time being I'll continue to play traditional instruments.

I also miss the color. I still prefer the traditional ones.

[@clebozer]

Absolutely love the brightness! Thanks for explaining about the strings. Oh and that rosette is gorgeous!

[@carlosmacmartin4205]

That is a Manuel Ramirez signature headstock design.

And very beautiful guitar 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@salcontrino]

Thanks for sharing the string setup! Knowing that helps define the guitar's voice and I'm able to pickup more of the differences between what the strings are offering and what the guitar can do

[@itstheguitarcollection]

Hey Sal, totally. glad you enjoyed

[@Michajeru]

A lovely guitar with a very pleasing tone. This is a guitar that I could easily fall in love with.

[@ch.ku.4310]

So nice loock guitar bag👍👍👍👍👍👌👌

As always with TH-cam we can't hear the voluminousness of the Muller but it does have a very nice sound brought out by your playing. I make do with my '71 Ramirez 1a, which having a 664mm scale length, no doubt makes your Muller with its 640mm a tad easier on the left hand, but I make do and while I'd dearly love to be able to afford a new guitar at times I'll have to resign myself to enjoy them from a distance at present.
Really, a very nice sounding guitar and well played too, sir.

Looks like Wenge fretboard as well. Not a bad idea, the Dammann i have is rosewood fretboard. You can see the wear over the years, it doesn't hold up like ebony but it's lighter and probably more stable. Should give it a more warm tone.

[@itstheguitarcollection]

I don't know why I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Makes total sense that it would be wenge. Thanks for the info!!!

[@TheMusicalEvents]

Fingerboard is Wenge, as Dieter Müller explained to me personally.

[@prunesquallor3444]

A wonderful finish, and beautiful tone wood. I prefer a Sitka Spruce top over Cedar for its sweeter tone and visual appeal, however this is merely subjective on my part. I have played a few very fine sounding Cedar top guitars that I would have been proud to own. I love the extra fret on the high E string and notice other luthiers adding this fret and more to their instruments.
Your channel is quite unique and I look forward to more examples of fine instruments.

Reckon I'm at the right location of #ClassicalGuitar 🔥🤘

[@user-df9ho3ig2t]

Thank you for good video!
I think the fingerboard wood is wenge.

[@itstheguitarcollection]

Thanks so much for your comment!! Wenge makes sense! Matches the back and sides, thats for sure. It's beautiful.

[@TheMusicalEvents]

Very nice guitar. I think it would be even better with a slightly lighter e1 string...

[@PortlandGuitarDuo]

Are you a broker?

[@itstheguitarcollection]

I'm broker now than I was before ;)

[@docdoc]

Why are repeating the same scales over and over? It can be help to hear various keys, just a thought.

[@itstheguitarcollection]

Do you mean across various videos or do you mean within this same video? In this video, I play several entire pieces at the end. I think I did enough. If you mean across various videos, I think there is value in consistency that way you can compare guitars. Cheers and thanks for the comment
