My friend, "X" (psst! He hates his name, Xavier) came over and tried out my new La Patrie Motif guitar for me to hear. He reports it to have a wonderful feel, the left hand, even the barring is superbly easy and the tone is excellent for the size and price range.
It does sound more like a 19th century "romantic era" guitar than my quite good modern guitar does and, when comparing 1960 dollars to today's, costs about a third the price. The cast comes off next week so I will be trying it out and writing a review. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to either begin guitar or who would like to have a guitar that sounds more like the pre-modern style classical guitar that has come to dominate the field.
