[Profile]
Greg Smallman was born in Australia in 1947. After Torres, he was the maker who made the greatest innovation in the design of classical guitars. The bars of the sound board arranged in a grid pattern called the lattice system and the structure of the strut processed like modern architecture are extremely unique. It is made with a completely different idea from the basic structure so far. In addition, by making the sound board thin and the back and sides thick arch-shaped, he succeeded in maximizing the vibration of the sound board, resulting in the reaction, volume, and each of the sound output. The balance of the strings, the dynamics and the clear sound that reaches behind the large hall, and the sustain are amazingly improved. The unevenness of the sound due to the resonance setting, which was unavoidable with conventional guitars, has been almost completely eliminated here, and the overall pitch is set to be more accurate than desired for a nylon guitar. And most notably, even after overcoming these acoustic weaknesses, it does not fall into a mechanical sound and at the same time acquires musical richness. It is clearly
demonstrated by the performance of virtuoso John Williams, who found Smallman and formed the second half of his career with Smallman's guitar. After John, many players loved it, and young maestros with modern sensibilities such as J. Perroy and G. Bianco use Smallman. It must be proof that this guitar is both revolutionary and universal.
