Michael McBroom (Houston, TX, USA)
10-String Guitar Tests

[These tests were done on the day I picked up my guitar from Michael, and we just sat down, played a piece on each guitar with no rehearsal, etc. So they are not performances, but merely sound checks. In the 6 months or so since I have had the Spruce/Brazilian guitar, the sound has opend up dramatically, and is much louder than it was on day one. Please email Michael directly for more info on his guitars.]
