           I have used a number of guitars made by different Brazilian makers. Nowadays I play a 2007 Cedar top Robert Ruck (composite top) and a 2006 Spruce top Samuel Carvalho. The prominent Brazilian maker Samuel Carvalho is my favorite Brazilian maker. His guitars are very affordable and his improvements after each year are remarkable. I truly believe in his talent, his humble personality and his willing to make each instrument even better. I used also for two years, another great Brazilian guitar, a spruce top 1991 made by Sergio Abreu. The two audio sample bellow were made using a 2006 Carvalho.
