the pavilion
|
'Low string notes are solid and particularly singularly defined, exhibiting very little underlying hum to pad them out, just a precisely focused response. Again, the mid-range delivers a thick dominant voice, but with no irksome peaks this has a smooth, full woody flavour, while the treble registers extend to quite brilliant highs offering both sparkle and a crisp click to each pluck. The pay-off for this is that high notes sound a little more cutting, but they still sing out with full body and sustain' Matthew Wig, Guitarist issue 257, December 2004

The Pavilion might be described as a small jumbo. Its sloping shoulders and 400mm (15 3/4") wide roundish lower bout. are linked by a tight waist, giving a well-defined elegance to the outline. The 650mm scale length (25.6") gives a crisp edge and firmness to the sound, and the X-braced, sizeable body gives a full bass and a real warmth to the tone without the boominess of a dreadnought.
