Here I compare a Martin OMC Aura, an Orangewood Mason, and a Huss and Dalton 00-SP. I'm demonstrating them on a few snippets from my original compositions. My fingernails are a wreck from this cold, dry weather so some passages are ragged. I elected not to balance the volume so remember, loudest is not always best. All the guitars were recorded with the same mic position but the Martin is not quite as loud as the other two. The little 00-SP is the loudest of the bunch!
