1999 Kevin Aram "Marina" SP/IN

Considered to be one of the best makers in northern Europe, Aram has made guitars for some of the most prominent players in the world including Julian Bream. His guitars, particularly from this period, are influenced by the work of Torres, Hauser and Romanillos. The sound is delicate and refined, with great balance and projection. The lightweight build gives it a very "punchy", yet smooth attack. There is something very musical about his instruments which is revealed in every note - the trebles are lyrical and the basses have a nice silky texture. The sound is also very warm and loose, like a played-in, older Spanish guitar. Tuners are Rodgers. Condition is excellent - practically mint, virtually like new.
