i just put a deposit on a willie wixom and i was thinking is it worth me saving more money and getting a da silva or mya moe or are willie wixoms good for the price?
thanks
thanks
I own a Da Silva and 2 Mya-Moe's.
All are excellent, I have never regretted buying any of them.
if you dont mind me asking.
how much does a james hill tenor cost?
It's the player, not the instrument.
The better the player, the more accurate the statement above is... IMHO, for a newbie or a less-skilled player, a better instrument helps tremendously:
1. It's easier to play. Better action, intonation, etc.
2. It sounds better (tone, sustain, volume)
3. It's an investment (which tends to up my commitment level)
It's like trying to learn golf with junk clubs or tennis with a lousy racket. The better equipment won't make you a better player, but it will take some of the discouragement out of the equation.
In terms of the OP, it is difficult to compare the relative values of custom instruments. I'm in line for a Mya-Moe and quite happy with my decision. But I've seen some fine pictures of WW in this forum...

i disagree with some of your statement. i might represent a minority here in my opinion but i learned how to play the guitar on the crappiest classical guitar ever built. the action was 1/4" at the nut among others . my tiny fingers was raw every practice. that didnt discouraged me one bit. in fact, it did the complete opposite. another thing i noticed is alot of newbie players tend to get so caught up in the idea that an expensive instrument will always sound better. that really really anoys me beacuse its a complete baloney. like the other post had said ' int not the instrument, its the player".
if you want a good investement go buy gold bars.
WW vs DaS???? Like, in a world-title fight? Now that'd be worth seeing on the UWC stage next year...
mmmm, stunning isn't it Rich.By the way, why did you have to make me go to the DaSilva web site? The spruce over myrtle concert he has up there is sweeter than sweet.
