- Happy accidents! The best and most humbling way of accepting one's flaws, which may well lead to progress. I think this is such an occasion.
Mic wise - I'm very silly! I do own a Stealth microphone from Aston too, which is an end address, and I just got them confused. This is an Aston Spirit. It's been a while since I've got the old recording gear out... maybe I could've gone without this particular happy accident. Sorry guys.
Subsequently, the sound waves are being bounced around a little bit and the sound isn't super pure. I'm noticing that it is for sure suffering in the environment of the workshop, free from acoustic panels and lots of open wall space capable of bouncing lots of sound waves. You can particularly hear this in the bass.
Leave a comment and we can all bully Hugo into letting me infiltrate his studio and record the Tyger guitar properly! Hope you can salvage something from this. If not, it was fun anyway and nice to introduce you to the guitars!
The walnut guitar is safely in it's new home, now, and it was as fun as I thought it was going to be to hand over the guitar to it's new home.
Catch you next time, let me know which guitar you prefer!

Ms. Daisy, you don't give yourself enough credit with your playing. It needs to be said. Every time you have, it sounded amazing.
I agree. Luther's never have much regard for their own playing, ND players never have much regard for their set up work.
Fascinating how just hearing the drone resonance of each guitar immediately changed the way I sang a song I'm learning. Even though the melody remained basically the same, I was making a clearer sound and new notes came in certain key places, which improved the phrasing. So, thank you for this video about sound.
WOW the resonance is amazing so much harmonic information even unfretted
You young lady are absolutely amazing. What an amazing talent you have.
Great video - I adore your honesty in this. I empathize with getting the wrong computer files. It’s so difficult to keep them sorted. Microphone placement and room acoustics -are so very challenging. Your excitement and ability to laugh at yourself reminds me of my 29 y/o daughter, Mary. Thanks.
I really enjoyed your comparison. I am just starting to learn, and I want to hear what's happening intelligently. stephen3073's observations will allow me to rehear this in a better way.
The flamed sycamore neck is a great contrast to the usual dark tones. Does the neck timber type effect the tone?
As for files, as an OCD I always name mine systematically and meaningfully so the contents are obvious. I also have a systematic folder naming routine. It just saves so much time later.
Daisy, I think it's wonderful that you are so committed to your work and that you are looking for perfection. be proud of yourself! The best thing about this video is that you are moved by the great sound your guitar produces. That's called passion for your work! You are great!
WOW! Raucous applause for Daisy and her creations! Both guitars sound magnificent. Super responsive, very even in balance from low to mid to high, great, colorful overtones developing, sustain is off the charts, and the clarity is pure and crystalline. And to think, as they accrue a bit of age and playing time, they will continue to sound more complex and colorful. It's a kind of alchemy, rendered in wood, and made into the most splendid musical sounds. If they sound this good right out of the starting gate, they will achieve the quality of legend in a very short time. It's also quite evident that your level of craft wisdom is highly advanced. And your aesthetic sensibilities are pure elegance. Daisy, you have greatness all over you!
Fantastic to watch the artist playing and enjoying what she has built. I really enjoyed this. Watching someone use a knife I've made, or read a story I've written, doesn't quite compare to the look on your face as you make music with what you've crafted. Inspirational, Ma'am.
Wowzers! Those are two absolutely beautiful instruments. When you said about the walnut wood coming from the lady's hometown, I nearly lost it. Silly old fool that I am......
The guitars you make are absolutely beautiful. Your craftsmanship is impeccable! And you play amazing. I hope that you do make more TH-cam videos. I love watching them.
Beautiful woods used. That Welsh walnut is amazing.
Thank you for sharing all the 'Bob Ross' moments it adds a lot.
Both those guitars sounded fantastic.
Hugo....sounds like a great partnership and yes use his skills
Your instruments are not only works of art they have the such clear rich tone that you feel in your soul.
Hi ! Your guitars are both incredible, as usual. I prefer the big one but both are interesting in a way.
Thank you for sharing your smile and your great woodworking! ❤
The light marble on the walnut back, floating into the neck is really beautiful!
It is amazing that you are a modern day Luthier! I look forward to more of your spectacular work!!!
Daisy, I really enjoy your videos. The smaller guitar sounds more expressive and articulate. The large one is just so smooth. The sustain of both was amazing. Guitars are very personal. The love that goes into your work really shows. I'm sure she will be over the moon.
The contrast is most clearly pointed by the smaller Spanish guitar of the early baroque, by comparison with the huge Mexican beasts.
Both guitars are absolutely stunning, both in looks, size and sounds, thank you for sharing your fantastic skills with us.😊
I was missing videos from this channel. Brilliant, educational and amusing stuff Daisy. Glad to see things going very well indeed.
Both of those guitars are amazing Daisy! The sound and sustain on both are terrific! Well done and keep up the great work that you do. Would really enjoy hearing you play more often as well. Cheers! 👍👍🎸🎸💖💖
Daisy, I would love to learn more about what your thinking ,such as the term ‘attack’. What other thoughts you have would be a great insight into your mind. I love how you genuinely express your feelings:it’s a refreshing intimate moment of how you’re one of those amazing people I’m glad are here in this timeline but sadly will never have the pleasure of having a coffee with. Great videos.
Thank you for sharing the sound comparison. The sustain in both instruments is outstanding. Very lovely.
They are both very beautiful. The Tasmanian Tyger Myrtle is awesome. What a beautiful wood. Love seeing your passion for what you do. Keep it coming Daisy.
That sounds beautiful. Thanks, Daisy.
I don't know much about harmonics or tone, but I can spot enthusiasm right off. If your instruments convey the quality of sound that you do in passion, there is no doubt as to the level of craftsmanship. Top shelf, I say.
Wow, great work! Both guitars look and sound incredible. The smaller guitar has a delightful brightness to its tone, while the larger model has a profound depth.
Sounds incredibly vibrant to my ear.
So happy to see you back. I look forward to every build and you make no mistakes, only adjustments. I love the wood choices you use. Excellent work as always.
I find your vids deeply inspiring. You have an artists sensibility with a masterful craftsman's skill. Could never afford one of your pieces, but damn they are beautiful.
Wow! Just wow! Love the shape and appointments.
Good Morning Daisy!! Always a joy to see you!
Yeah, artists suck at the formal math and logistics, and it always costs the artist money. You're in good company, Daisy. The guitars both look and sound great. Keep making sawdust.
The Welsh walnut back is insanely gorgeous. If it weren't on an instrument already, I'd be happy to frame that book matched pattern and hang it on my wall.
The smaller guitar sounds so good! Love the matching colour of the Rosetta and the woods! I wouldn’t mind one myself!!!!
Very happy accident!!!👏👏
I think your customer is going to be really happy with that smaller guitar. It sounds lovely.
Always enjoy your contributions, but this was especially interesting. ‘Happy accidents’ happen all the time in hand-building a guitar. I’m just finishing an all Koa body OM-style guitar and ‘accidentally’ applied the same stain to the Mahogany neck. The difference between how it looks on Koa to Mahogany is stunning and strangely complimentary.
Another fun video! Thank you.
They both sound fantastic.
For my own tastes and playing I like the softer attack on the big one, but the sustain and decay on the smaller one is gorgeous -- she rings like a perfectly cast bronze bell.
As a guitarist, singer/songwriter, and live sound and recording engineer, I'd love to see how Hugo approaches capturing an acoustic guitar performance on one of your instruments. It is always interesting to see how different people approach it.
You should be very proud of your work. I've never heard an acoustic guitar with such extended sustain. Your 'little lady' just rings on and on... I really like the timber she makes as well. Very pretty tone. I haven't visited your channel in a while. Your business has come a long way. Wishing you all the best. 🌞
Beautiful sound and so simple and tasteful design (no kitch details). Wish you the best young lady! 🌹
Holy crap! I didn't know there's a harmonic at the end of the fret board! I've played for 15+ years. Must be because I learned by ear without instruction. It has its pros and cons. Thank you Daisy, you're always great, funny too ;)
To my untrained ear they both have wonderful sound. When it comes down to it what fits the layer signifies more. I love the significance of the walnut back.
Hello Ms Daisy, I was - unusually for me - feeling slightly down in the dumps here in the rain-swept west and happened upon your video by accident. It did me good! I love your infectious enthusiasm and humility. Well done. To answer your question: I have a slight preference for your larger guitar (full disclosure: I am a member, for better or worse, of the "Big" category of musicians - physically speaking that is.) DADGAD is my preference and I have a number of guitars that I use for that style. There might just be room for one more in the stable so I'll take a gander at your web site and next time I'm in the UK perhaps we could talk about a "commission". Congratulations.
Incredible craftmanship - seriously amazing works of art. Both guitars sounded amazing with outstanding sustain. To my ear, through the recording, I preferred the smaller body and there was something unique about the top and bottom sounds too. The new owners are incredibly lucky ! Would love to hear how it turns out and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store.
Daisy: Both guitars are beautiful; beautiful workmanship (make that workwomanship); with beautiful, very resonant sound. The larger one sounds "warmer', with the bass coming through (to my ears) a little more. And as you noted, it is louder. I imagine for many people it sounds more like what they expect a guitar to sound like and, thus, may be preferred. The smaller one is "brighter", "livelier", and has a beautiful tone, too. I'm sure a lot of people would prefer it. Without the side-by-side comparison most people probably wouldn't notice anything different or lacking about its sound. As with most things it comes down to individual taste/preference. And, yes, learning/understanding more is always good, so Hugo should provide you some mic information/coaching. :-)
The small one I adore! The sound n tone focus is just perfect! But I'd want the larger one as well!
You are amazingly talented. Make more videos. 🥰great storytelling. A delightful little lady. 🤗
Two BEAUTIFUL guitars! Nicely done as always Daisy!
Wow. They both sound amazing!
I've been watching and enjoying for a year, or more but don't think I've actually heard the results of your work before ('cept maybe a uke?). Crisp, clean, tonally beautiful and just wonderful sustain.
Beautiful wood, beautifully wrought, And the home grown walnut for the Welsh lass? Utterly priceless. Look forward to hearing how that delivery goes. I'm tearing up just thinking about it, lol.
Beautiful Workmanship. And Playing, LOVE your CHANNEL!!! The medulla rays in those Tops is Phenomenal.
So many people discount the sapwood on walnut. You did a fantastic job integrating it into the look. Love it.
Wonderful resonance on both. I know which I prefer. Bot that doesn't matter as long as the recipient enjoys her new instrument.
Both are beautiful guitars. I am drawn more to the smaller one. I love the flamed sycamore neck and head plate. Great job!!! You're not an idiot. You made a few honest mistakes and made the best of it.
I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one that stresses to the max on delivery days! Polish, polish, polish until the customer walks in the door.
How awesome Daisy, You tripled the size of your luthierie business with just 2 clicks on the computer!😂🤣👌
Watching you be so excited about what you build is fantastic.😊
You are an artist that has learned how to make wood sing.😉
It is a true pleasure watching you refine your craft.
You have a wonderful talent, be excited, it looks great on you!😁
Your expressions while playing and demonstrating; however...😬😂🤣
Have a fabulous week Daisy!🦢🤙
I think they both sound great ! You are an amazing maker stunning works of art ! And they sound wonderful .cheers
Both sound absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't pick a favourite.
Beautiful guitars.
I love the design and wood choice.
Just wow !!!
I think the word “idiot“ here is defined as acknowledging and disclosing mistakes that most people make yet ignore or deny. The former, quite obviously, leads to something (two things) beautiful while latter is stagnation. You amaze!
Great work as always, I prefer the brightness of the smaller guitar. Shame we couldn’t see the reaction of the girlfriend receiving her gift guitar.
Daisy, I have followed you for some time and watching and hearing your development has been for me a rewarding experience, thank you. To answer your question comparing the sound of guitars you have built is very interesting. An idea for this would to perform a set piece for of course you may not have again your guitar for comparison but you will have the recording.
That's a beautiful sound you've created with that guitar Daisy. Someone's going to be a very proud owner let's hope they create some music that does justice to your creativity.
Wow, what gorgeous guitars! Amazing sustain on them! Thank you for sharing them!
You're wonderful Daisy. Beautiful guitars! 😊🙏
They're both lovely. Incredible sustain.
Small one sounds really sweet but the big one has as expected more of everything. Proportions of the bigger one are fantastic.
Always amazed what a beautiful work you are doing 😍😍
Another engaging video, Daisy. I too like to listen to strummed harmonics ring across as many strings as possible, depending on the tuning, and listen for the overtones to come out - notes that haven't been played can be heard arising from the interaction of the vibrations. Accurate tuning is needed for that to happen in the most effective way, of course.
I don't play guitar, and never plan on building one, but I love your channel. I think both guitars are awesome!
Hi Daisy. Love your videos 😊. In my very limited experience, heavy guitars can give lots of loudness/sustain. Jumbos and dreadnoughts are often good for low bass register. Both of your guitars sound amazing, even with dodgy mic placement 😂
Well, it that is where accidents lead you, you should welcome them. Two fabulous equally desirable guitars. I guess that since my preference is for smaller bodies I would be looking at the powerful Lady, as you put it. The Welsh Walnut is a definite draw. And would I love to have been at that dinner! Must have been very rewarding for you Daisy. Love your work, oh and your unique Rosette design is Fab.
Daisy, you have a winner there, you are very talented. Cheers!
As far as I can tell, the big one sounds like it has more body (derrr right?) and the smaller one while less body, it isn't lacking, an it sounds slightly brighter. Really, they both sound great.
I'm really impressed at how you rolled with the mistakes, and well, making two mistakes in a row is the kind of thing I'd do tbh.
You make great work, no reason to be embarrassed.
Those woods look incredible. Gorgeous instruments.
They sound beautiful as well as looking beautiful
Both very nice guitars with a lot of warmth and clarity. Congrats!
Beautiful instruments as always Daisy, thanks for the stories too, your client must be so thrilled 😁
Amazing instruments with wonderful sustain and resonance. Love the harmonic overtones. If pushed I would go for the myrtle. Wonderful!
Love this!! 😂 thanks for sharing 👍
Both guitars are absolutely gorgeous!! Love that pink too!

Awesome close up!
Beautiful work!
Amazing builds and wonderful story on the gift one! Had me smiling ear to ear (your reaction/excitement a big part) :)
i also wonder how many hours it will take for the 'oops' one to sell. Yes...hours...not days or weeks
Both are beautiful, great sounding guitars, and I love that body shape. Great work!
Beautiful guitars Daisy, they both sounded really nice to me, you’re sound engineer is correct and funny 🤣 no doubt they would sound amazing in real life, an intimate gig for example. Love the different timber species gives great sound, feel and looks xx
Daisy, que sonido tan maravilloso lograste en las dos guitarras. En lo personal me gustó la mas pequeña, la parte de atras con esa columna vertebral blanca es alucinante. ¡¡Felicidades!!
¡¡Eres una GRAN artista!!
They both sound beautiful. The smaller one had a lightly quieter mellow voice. I think both future owners will be so happy with what you have created. Isn't it sooo satisfying bringing something beautiful into existence that wasn't there before?!
Very nice work Daisy.
Some years ago I purchased a guitar for one of my sons. We went to a large guitar shop near Birmingham and got to listen to a wide range of guitars of different makes, sizes, woods and price. The biggest difference to my untrained ear was with size.i much preferred the larger jumbo sized guitar which had a warmth and richness that the standard smaller body guitars didn't. Not very scientific but they were like an expensive soft red wine. We didn't buy an oversize because back then my son wine wasn't the 6ft+ rock climber he is now. If someone could make a standard size that sounded like the jumbos we listened to they might be on a winner.
As a parlor guitar maker, I am biased toward the smaller guitar. I just love the gentle tone of a smaller guitar. Both guitars are gorgeous and sound fantastic
Both sounded good. I'm a big dude, but I'm starting to appreciate small guitars more and more. Looking forward to your next happy accident!
The off axis sound isn't bad at all! Both sound lovely! I really like the smaller guitar, but I like smaller bodied instruments in general and walnut is one of my most favourite woods.
They both sound great!
I think both guitars sound beautiful. The smaller body seems to have a slightly higher pitch resonance, as one might expect, but they have a kind of tonal equality, in that one can tell the same luthier built them both. How fortunate the new owners are to be able to commission these beauties, and eventually take them home. One of my favorite bands, Del Amitri uses DADGAD for many of their great songs, with/without capo. Would be interesting to hear Justin play a few of their songs on one of your guitars someday. Cheers.
I loved this video and both guitars sounded wonderful; yes there was a greater degree of mellowness in the larger guitar which was so beautiful and the smaller one also sounded beautiful in its own unique way. The finish on both was amazing and your playing was so enjoyable if brief….thank you.
Both guitars are beautiful and beautifully made. I like how you used the walnut back with the lighter sap wood center. And both outside design of the bodies funneling perfectly to the sound hole with uninterrupted sound flow. 😉
Both beautiful guitars Daisy, I have to say, I prefer the smaller guitar, but my own favorite guitar is an OM model. I always find it amazing how guitars sound so different depending on where you are hearing them from, they sound totally different when playing them to being in front of them. Amazing skills, keep the good work up
Bonsoir from Canada, Daisy! I am researching "the" sound I am after and I am about to commission a small jumbo guitar from a luthier friend of mine (hopefully for the end of this year, 2024). I applaud this presentation of yours as the microphone picked up the nuances of one guitar size versus the other. I am a dreadnought guy (Larrivée, Martin and a sole Gibson J-45 "sustainable" in the mix), so I am partial to the sound of your bigger one... That was the one with the funky harmonic amplication, right? Anyway, merci so much for making us appreciate a luthier's dedication to his or her craft. Play on, everyone, no matter where your particular musical taste lies... Au revoir!
Can hear way more sustain in the larger instrument, Thanks for the video Daisy - so cool to see someone get so excited over their guitars and guitar making! - Cheers from Canada
I'm amazed by how talented you are.
I love❤❤❤ the sound of the smaller one.
Those both sound incredible! (even with the mic mishap) I have truly fallen in love with small body guitars for my style of playing. I play with a melody focused fingerstyle playing that really seems to be accentuated with the smaller more focused body. I'd love to play one of your guitars, even if I couldn't afford to buy it. Thanks for posting these videos. I now have building a guitar on my bucket list.
