The Idiomatiques-Sado Manouche Vid

Scoredog · September 2016

A bunch of relatively old guys relatively new to the genre doing a video, trying to prove you are never too old to take up Gypsy Jazz (my guess is 98 is too old).

I really like the tone of that f-hole guitar. What make/model is it, if you don't mind me asking? And how is it being recorded? I don't see any mics or pickups or anything.

I think it's the Couesnon. It was my favorite guitar at Django in june '13 among Selmers, Busatos...

Thanks everyone!
We (The Idiomatiques) really appreciate you taking time to listen to us.

As Buco mentioned it is the Couesnon I purchased from Michael Bauer. It was recorded with a Neuman K184. This is a fairly highend video with lots of angles to get the visuals interesting and then the editing creates some of the excitement but is as much about the visuals as it is the song. When playing live in front of an audience we often play this tune 30 bpm or faster than this to create excitement ...sometimes that works out well.
