Daryl Perry - 2023 No. 252

Overview

Presented here is a masterpiece from the workshop of Daryl Perry, a renowned guitar maker from Winnipeg, Canada. Since the early 1980s, Daryl Perry has dedicated himself to the art of guitar crafting and is now regarded as one of the premier luminaries of classical guitar building in Canada.

The Daryl Perry Guitar 2023 No. 252 stands as a testament to Daryl's profound reverence for the legendary guitar builders of the 19th and 20th centuries. It's evident in every intricate detail that he weaves into this instrument, utilizing traditional hand tools and giving individualized attention to the intrinsic characteristics of each wood piece. This devotion to excellence is probably why celebrated guitarists like Marcin Dylla entrust their performances to the rich tonal qualities of a Daryl Perry creation.

From an aesthetic standpoint, this guitar is a sheer marvel. The finely aged spruce top gracefully juxtaposes the deep, dramatic grain patterns of the Indian rosewood comprising the back and sides. This symphony of textures and tones transforms the guitar into a visual masterpiece, beckoning to both instrument aficionados and art connoisseurs.

But its beauty is more than skin-deep. When played, this guitar releases a soundscape that is nothing short of enchanting. Its bass notes emerge as a blend of ethereal warmth and vibrant hues, while the trebles sing with crystalline clarity, echoing notes that seem to dance gracefully in the air. Together, they harmonize into a voice that is hauntingly beautiful, laden with emotion and tales of epochs gone by.

To sum it up, the Daryl Perry Guitar 2023 No. 252 transcends its role as a mere instrument. It embodies an apex of craftsmanship and musical eloquence, offering an unparalleled auditory experience that transforms every composition into a poignant narrative.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
