Yay
It looks good to me and sounds even better!
Yay!
I want one! YAY!
Yaaay!
That transition from the Last of Us theme into Spanish Romance was pretty awesome!
Thanks, glad you like it!
seamless, is that the word?
Wow, a lot of additional features with that guitar, and although it’s not an acoustic organic sound, it’s a pleasing sound, especially with you playing it.
it has more than 100 settings from simple acoustics to heavy metal
I am a classically trained violinist and accompanied myself as a singer (also classically trained) on a classical guitar for thirty-five years. I now play both instruments with effects and love the wide ranging textures I can achieve. I really like this instrument, and though I require an acoustic axe for strolling, I'd have a great time gigging with the ENYE. Thanks for showing it off!
I’m really happy this with you was helpful for you. This guitar actually knows a lot more, so I highly recommend you to check out other reviews made by other musicians to get a full picture about it it
I hope to see and hear more musical piece of yours on this guitar in the future videos ❤
Always good to explore new instruments, new sounds. Very much enjoyed your video...
Great to see a quality video from Hungary. In english with guitars.. Great combo. Üdv Szegedről:)
This is really awesome! I am a fretless 6 string electric bass player - my bass has a carbon fiber neck and is unbelievably versatile. This looks even more versatile (for practice and smaller areas in particular). I've been looking at buying a classical guitar, but this would also be a good guitar for my purposes.
I hope they will have an actual classical guitar string spacing and neck width in the future - on of the reasons I gave up guitar and took up bass as a teenager was my inability to fit my left hand fingers to the guitar's string spacing (I also had difficulty finger picking with my right hand for the same reason)
Thank you for playing "Spanish Romance"! I grew up listening to my dad who was also a classic guitar player like yourself playing that song and could never remember the name of that song. All I had was my memories of him playing it but now, thanks to you, I'm able to listen to it whenever I want. Yesterday was the 27th anniversary of his passing in 1995 at the age of 51 from a heart attack by the way. God bless
I'm glad I brought up some nice memories 🧡
Почему анонимус непонятно. Я знаю его как романс Гомеса.
@@beatrixguitar yes, for sure! 🙏🏻
Lovely playing and excellent review!
The arrangement in the into was awesome!
it's Fossegrim by Maria Linnemann, I'll add it to the description soon, I just forgot :c
I love that you’re experimenting with this guitar. My question is how are your nails holding up? I play finger style on my Martin acoustic and it tears my nails so I have to use picks. Have you had any issues with this? You could also play jazz on this guitar if you want to. Congrats on getting outside of your comfort zone. Ignore the snobs. It’s all about the music. Bravo!
Thanks so much! Well I have artificial nails and they break not so easily so the strings don’t damage them😊
I play Acoustic - Steel- and Nylonstring. Last year I had to record backing tracks for a singer, when 2 of my nails broke right on the day before the recording. I went to a nail salon (nail studio) and the girls where somehow surprised - I am a 57 Year old man with a grey beard and my everyday appearance is the opposite of "stylish". They glued some very thin plastic nail on the edge of thy remaining nail as a support for the extending artificial nail. They did the nail with clear acrylic. That works really well and you can form the nail to your needs. But Acrylic turns a little yellow after some time. Now I use gel, which ist common in Nail Studios
I’d love to have one of these guitars. My wooden guitars are very loud, I have family and pets, so when I practice they are forced to listen to the monotony of repetitions. This would be a nice guitar to use. I have acquired many styles in my 60 years of playing, and this lovely sounding guitar, demonstrated by the hands of Beatrix, a budding master, exhibits a versatility that would work well for me. Thanks, Beatrix, for the heads up!
I feel your problem, I’ve been through that with my family too. What style do you play mostly? If you are more of a nylon string acoustic or classical player, you might want to check out Yamaha silent guitars too first. But if your style is versatile, I totally can recommend this guitar 😉
Hi Beatrix, knowing your channel now! I will keep watching it!
Good question, after 55 years playing, I play styles based on my mood, or a piece of music that I feel is necessary. I play, swing, country, blues, funk, bluegrass, rock, finger style, but due to the thinnest nails on Earth, I don’t play much classical. I used to play classical, it’s how I started.
Fun Fact. As a student Mathias Damann (Luthuer of Baruecco and Russel) explained me the importance of a regular structure of the wood. I asked, why not to use synthetic material. He explained me, that would never happen. Many years later he developed sandwich-clasical guitars with Gernot Wagner using synthetic material.
wooow I like this story a lot! Personally, I think a healthy balance is good. My guitar has synthetetic finish, not the french one. It's more durable, and way less stressful than a french finish, where it wears off even if you just breath on it :D
Great video.
Loads of information.
Have liked an subscribed..
Thank-you for your video posting
Nice review! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
you have the most relaxed right hand I have ever seen :D grande technique
haha thanks, been working on it for 17 years :D
Awesome 😎... thanks.... I say it definitely has a place in the world....
I bought the EZ-AG by Yamaha when it came out and it was a lot weirder than this.This is a lot closer to a travel guitar and it sounds pretty good.
(Missed design opportunity to have done the upper "hollow case-rest" to be able to be unlocked and swinged down around the lower part/body, so as an option, also for compacter travelling.)
Very different guitar. Good honest review, thanks. How are you getting on using it for finger style?
You’re so amazing great playing and absolutely beautiful
Thank you!
@@beatrixguitar you’re welcome
I lost it when you started playing The Last Of Us theme, then you transitioned. It was amazing, forsure buying this guitar now! 😄😁
Thank you! 😀😁
I think this device would have many good uses. There are definitely venues I wouldn’t want to probably bring my nice instrument into and because of the environment this sound would be at least as good for them and more controllable. (Say outdoor wedding for instance). It would be safer to travel with and practice on. Many reasons to have it in addition to your regular classical.
I totally agree with you, although this guitar is clearly not a classical guitar so if you want to play only classical music maybe this is not the best guitar for you. But if someone is looking for a guitar that suits for a wide range of music and variety style, I think this guitar can be a good idea. I also can’t wait to try it outdoors during spring. It’s really cold outside now ha ha
@@beatrixguitar there used to be a practice guitar Called the Soloette that very much could be used for classical and while not so many bells and whistles (and quite expensive) didn’t sound half bad plugged in.
I'd like to see a nylon string version. I think the idea is nice, and we should explore other resources, especially if they are better, more resilient, westhervproof, etc. I hate the way it looks though. It's rather ugly. I much prefer the shape of a traditional looking guitar over the weird angular box and shape. Journeyman makes a nice carbon fiber nylon that is a much better looking instrument. I haven't tried it, but it looks great, and I like the ability to put it in a plane as a carry on.
I agree, and I think this guitar doesn’t try to replace traditional instruments but wants to offer extra convenience for a specific audience. Which is great 😊
Hi Beatrix!🎶Thanks for showing this guitar, it looks like a very cool idea! I am thinking of trying a percussive fingerstyle guitar course, would it be possible on that guitar too?Thanks!
Yes sure it’s doable as long as you are looking for a guitar where you can hit the strings not the body, this guitar is good for you.
@@beatrixguitar thank you!🤗
At 4:10 It's not a "spanish Romance" from Anonymous. The one that you play is a different version. It's called "Jeux Interdits" rearranged by Narciso Yepes for the french movie of René Clément with the same title (1952).
I love that guitar, 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Check out the "Every Kingdom" album (deluxe edition) by Ben Howard. Try to play some of those fingerstyle songs. "Everything" is a good one to try.
Beautiful
This is pretty cool. Do they have a bass version as well?
I have no idea but I think they do not :(
Hello, I really like your work (and my students to)
Thanks for it!
What is the piece you play on the intro please?
Thanks a lot!
Wish you a wonderful day! 😀
Thank you!! I’m playing Fossegrim by Maria Linnemann, it’s on my TH-cam channel and my album too! Thanks for the kind words, happy playing and teaching!
I really like hearing a proper classical guitarist talk about non-acoustic guitars. Classical guitarists seem to be purely acoustic players. Have you ever had any good experiences playing classical on electric or elec/acou nylon string guitars (i.e, Godin Multiac)?
well personally I believe that there's a good reason why classical music is played on classical instruments. Electric instruments offer a lot but classical instruments are abel to project more subtle details, wider dynamic and colour range. On the other hand, it's unfair to compare a 600$ guitar to a 5K$ luthier made classical guitar I have, so I'll just say they are so different, they offer completely different benefits and they both are remarkable in their category :)
Nice review. My one question (steel or nylon) was covered, so I’m good. Love the sound.
I definitely would like a more portable version of my classical. Not sure that this it, but it’s in the running.
Good question! If you are a classical player, maybe this is way too different for you. But ENYA GUITAR is working on a similar guitar but specialised for classical guitarist, so you might want to wait just a little bit more 😁
@@beatrixguitar Good info! Thanks
Nylon or fluorocarbon Savarez strings? Think about it.
I think you make it sound really good. It makes you sound really good too.
thanks MR!! Happy you like it!
Could you please tell me what kind of a guitar this is?
Watching you play it makes
me want one. I've playing for 50+ years now and never have I seen anything like it.
Are you playing silent one ? How do you put the sound on TH-cam, does it have aux out put ?
OMG! List price list is $499.99 for the package with the gigbag and charging cables only. THE IS THE GOLDEN AGE OF GUITARS! And no extra charge for pink one! And promise myself, I would only buy the Danelectro Electric Sitar this year. G.A.S. attack!
Yamaha makes their own version of a silent guitar the SLG200NW which has the wider neck of a classical guitar. Otherwise you play beautifully and as my Flamenco guitar teacher, Mariano Cordoba, would say whenever he was impressed by a good performance
“Tío, La madre quien te parió”
Thank you Bill! Yeah I know about the Yamaha silent guitar, though I never tried it. Hopefully one day :D
Beatrix it would have been amazing if they built a classical size fret board on those Enja guitars..my main practice guitar is a full size Classical by Ryoji Matsouka..and my plug in guitar for recording is a Yamaha NTX900FM which has a regular guitar neck..I really find it's restrictiveness..could you if possible review Tim Henson's new ibanez or tell us viewers about your instrument(s) you play and what you like about it. Thanks for you great Vids.
Good idea, I'll write it up so I'll record something where I talk about playability and comfort on guitars in the future! Yeah as I said in the video, this is not a classical guitar, feels completely different, but it was very interesting for me :) It's refreshing to try something new from time to time and to challenge myself!
Could you record how "silent" it is compared to your normal guitar, when played without amplifier/speaker? Thanks!
Good idea, maybe I’m going to do a comparison video in the future
Great vid, cool guitar, beautiful playing by a beautiful lady, what's not to love?
hairstyle is looking good
Thanks :DD I really appreciate this comment to be honest :DD
Are you worries what those steel string will do with your precious classical fingertips? Will it work if you restring it with nylon strings?
That's a cool guitar!!!
Does it have aux out put to connect to external speakers or amp, or mixer ?
Спасибо спасибо спасибо😘💕

Did you replace the steel strings with classical strings????
How do you put the strings on this guitar??? Can you tell me please?
To answer your question when did we start making guitars with plastic. That would be in 1965 when Ovation opened their doors, some aerospace engineers/musicians who decided to apply their aerospace knowledge to move acoustic 🎸 in to the modern age.
It has a rather good sound, and it looks a great new improved electronic systems. Still electronic sound has always a longer pick which covers the mistakes that you maybe cannot show in a normal guitar . With a normal fender from the 60s with a very near arm I also cam take this sound ... but the advantage of this one is very light... I guess.... but rather interesting.
I'm thinking it might be good for blues. Blues guitarists like to play along to jamtracks, which could be sent from an iPhone to the guitar by Bluetooth, if I understand correctly.
Can this be used with a DAW such as Ableton Live or SoundTrap?
I as a classical player would have a use case for that guitar and I think it would be outstanding for improvisation. Seems like a perfect guitar for that purpose, you're getting built in quality effects and a digital element without having to buy extra equipment. And then the steel strings might provide additional expression and have more bended sustain (not sure what you call that / something classical guitarists don't really do).
I think the same, and also it's really good to drag me out of my comfort zone, I think it's a really healthy addition to me.
@@beatrixguitar Beatrix, just curious, if a classical guitarist of your status ever plays with others, or are you like me and besides my teacher during lessons I only play solo guitar?
Hello: I am an audio engineer and music producer from the US. I applaud you for trying something new! Next, teach yourself some recording software like Ableton or Logic. With your abilities I'm sure you will create something wonderful!
Thanks! I’m planning to learn it on a basic level, I’m just really an analog person with my classical guitar and all 😂 Is there a TH-cam channel you particularly recommend to start with?
Does it comes on a left handed configuration?
Класс! красивое звучание...
Девушка играет русский романс, а написано, что испанский))
Very Nice....
Not sure if you've seen, but they came out with a Classical Guitar with Nylon strings recently! Would love to see a review from you!
I’ve been thinking about it, stay tuned!
Awesome!
I want one
Need them to put the top on the top. That's where I do my thumps and rest my hand when I'm doing two hand legato.
I think the guitar is kinda cool but, I can make the same exact sound with my electric guitar with effects settings. So did it become pointless to make a electric acoustic with effects that essentially makes it an electric guitar?
I think this is a good alternative for acoustic players who don't want to invest in gadgets. Personally, I always found hard to play outdoors, I know nothing about amplification, but with this guitar I surely will play outside and the sound won't get lost in the air.
It have a very metallic bright sound. I hope it can be controlled? 🤔🤷♂️
I’m not sure whether there will be a large demand for this, don’t forget that Yamaha has been making a more or less similar product (but probably much cheaper) for many years now. But it absolutely is an interesting direction innovation takes here.
Hello, where can I find that guitar? and do you know the price?
hi, you can find some links in the description under the video
2:27 I legit thought that she dropped it 💀 💀
What is the name of the piece at the start?
For the serious classical guitarist, this silent guitar's form and sound performance are way beyond. With regard to the fretboard alone, the traditional classical guitar at the nut (width) is 52 mm so the finger placements are in themselves quite different. Too much adaptation required. 2ndly, from the sound of it, it doesn't sound anything like a real or natural classical guitar. The closest so far, in terms of silent guitars that come close to the form and sound of a real classical guitar, is the YAMAHA SLG200NW.
Of course my comments here have nothing to do with people who like playing the electric, folk or acoustic guitar and are looking for fun variations that cost less than the LAVA Me3.
but.... where do i thump my thumb (flamenco style ) ?
cool guitar not gonna lie
I agree, and it was so fun to experiment with it!
Olá, tudo bem?
Super fã de seu belíssimo trabalho!
Fiquei impressionado com as possibilidades que esta guitarra pode oferecer - infelizmente ainda para poucos aqui no Brasil!
Sou amante da música em geral, também luthier e percussionista e gosto de buscar experimentações de todos os recursos, inclusive eletrônicos.
Gostaria de vê-la tocando com ela ou no violão em madeira, um pouco da música brasileira, algo do Toninho Horta, Felipe Bedetti (novo talento brasileiro!), Lô Borges, Chiquinha Gonzaga, etc. - Creio que seria fantástico!
Um imenso Abraço!
Judging from the comments section the "snob" mentality of classical musicians is alive and well, the 1700's are long gone, get over it, there will always be new ideas and products.
I knew peopel will be sceptical about this, that's why I tried to highlight in the video that it's NOT a classical guitar, but you CAN play classical pieces on it. Of course not the most advanced ones, but a 600$ worth classical guitar is also not suitable for the most challenging classical repertoire, so I don't see any problem here :D
@@beatrixguitar Your review was excellent, your comments on neck width at the beginning was all anyone needs to know that it's not aimed at classical guitarists.
Yes the 17000:s are over but do you think music have become better? The popsongs of today is a joke. The so called develompment of everything is not true. But I'm not writing this to upset someone. All the best!

@@tonspegel-magnussoderstrom8195 Hi Magnus, yes I believe music has become better than in the 1700's, we now have jazz, blues, mariachi, bluegrass, klezmer, conjunto, rock, bossa Nova, flamenco, Americana, folk, and numerous other styles PLUS we still have classical.
The comments all seem to be positive to me
they came out with the classical one already you shoud try it
Oh really? Do you have a link to it?
SAME 2 THINGS I ALWAYS ASK WITH THESE GUITAR VIDEOS but SELDOM SEE/HEAR: HOW MUCH ARE THEY and DO THEY MAKE LEFTIES (also in This case, I'd want to know if the APP was ALSO 'LEFTY FRIENDLY'.......VERY IMPORTANT!!!
👍
I love your accent. As a gay American lady, I just gotta say wow. You're genuine passion for playing classical guitar, and your laid back personality is really awesome.
Thinking of going acoustic in case the power goes out..... soon that won't be a option unless you buy vintage.

Looks nice, but having a wireless transmitter right on my lap for hours.... that "control center" should be a 6 foot cord away.

Does this have nylon strings ?
What kind of strings?
D'Addario EXP16
Waaaww
4:25 is « Jeux interdits »
I bought one last year, unfortunately none in the UK, and I was stung a huge amount by UK customs, after buying one in Australia (also the warranty is invalidated)
The instrument is fine, reasonably versatile; the app. isn't, it's only valid for a year, and whilst the Chinese version seems to have all the bangs, and whistles (hard to tell, everything being in chinese) the English version doesn't!
Expensive, gimicky, sounds surprisingly good, and, at least theoretically, it's bomb proof, as long as the Russians don't put it to the test 😉
PS a surprisingly good mic!

Hi!
Very cute and talented.
You might like a telecaster
Was hard to pay attention to the guitar when the one playing it is so very Beautiful. I was wondering if you have tried the Yamaha SLG200S
Yamaha makes a version of this with nylon strings. Yamaha SLG200N
But not this versatile. It has wider neck than this guitar.
Interesting bit of kit. I found when you were playing the Romance that it didn't help you bring the melody out as I would've expected from a classical guitar. You were definitely technically on point with it, especially coping with the narrower neck and fret spacing, but some of the melody notes merged/blurred with the accompanying open B and G strings- especially at the return to 7th fret b on the E string during the initial minor section. I'm not sure if it's the strings or the bluetooth speaker. It sounded less noticeable on the strummed/acoustic type stuff. Perhaps the higher tension, the different string material and the artificial amplification all contributed. I wonder if you've ever played (or would be interested in trying) the yamaha silent classical guitar? I always find non classical guitars to be a bit difficult to get the right treble balance on and given this is a classical "mod" of a non classical guitar it might suffer similarly. Anyway, enough geekery! A good video about an interesting product. Thanks.
Yeah, I didn’t have a cable to connect it to my PC so the sound sample you hear is not 100% accurate I guess. Check out other players using this guitar, maybe you’ll see this balance issue solved elsewhere! On the other hand, I tried to keep the playing part really honest, so I didn’t overthink it. Maybe the reason why I was struggling a bit is the posture. Since this video I changed the angle and I use it like I use my classical guitar, much more comfortable!
@@beatrixguitar I honestly don't think it's your playing, I've seen similar issues with other silent guitars which use pickups. Sometimes same not different octave gets mashed up.
Wow That is am awesome guitar
I knooow, it's so damn cool
@@beatrixguitar I want one now.. I need one now hahahaha
