The Night Before a Barbershop Visit, it is a #Tradition in #Cymru / #Wales for a #Welshman to compose a #gwerin piece as an offering to the hair gods to appease them before the sacrifice.
So this #instrumental #acoustic #guitar piece is called #Torgwallt , which means “Cut hair” which will serve as a reminder to do so before #Christmas is upon us.

Fellow guitarists, I need advice!
I’m almost certain I want to buy a Klōs Grand Cutaway full carbon guitar on their Black Friday sale. It’s expensive guitar, but I often play outdoors, crawling on the floor with kids, and just generally in rough conditions, so I think it makes sense. I also love that it can break down into basically a backpack by removing the neck and strapping it on the side.
My ask: any klōs owners out there with opinions to share?
Amusingly one of the first things that came to mind for #JMusicFriday #acoustic musings was Southern All Stars, and in my searching about I came across this, which is a delightful find.

Once more into the breach, before work takes me out of commission!
Just wanted to push a particularly "J" reminder that #acoustic doesn't only mean guitar. ;-)

Good morning, all, and welcome to the weekend... nearly! It is a sunnier #JMusicFriday morning than usual, because they have stolen the sunlight from our evening commutes!!
A shame, but we should still celebrate. So today, as part of partying climbdowns and simply enjoying the morning sun, let us bring #acoustic to bear
It is Mellow Yellow for me, but if you have your druthers, this whole playlist is well worth the while. Even if you are not in a position to go hiking with it!

*I'm saying we, since I would need to work with an expert. I am not only totally blind (who knows if this would be accessible), but I know nothing about this sort of thing.*
To make a very long story short, I am aware that there is severe frequency loss in acoustic recordings. That is why they sound so tinny, even when compared to the earliest electrics. Some voices are affected more than others, but even the ones with the best recordings still experience some of it. With the advances in technology at our disposal in 2025, however, I am wondering if it would be possible to attempt to restore some of those frequencies. Ideally, it might sound like something from the 1940's, but I doubt that is possible, at least with the earlier records, so at least the 1920's or 1930's would be great.
The thing is, I don't know exactly what is lost. So my idea is to record a modern singer (with at least a somewhat similar voice to the original) on period equipment and digitally symultaneously. In this way, we would have the live singer, plus two very different recordings. We could then compare the live, electric, and acoustic versions with a device or software that measures frequencies. Once we have determined what is lost, we could then try to restore the actual records in question.
If we were doing this with a cylinder machine, it would be very easy. Not only can one literally still record at the Edison Museum, but there are people today who record in wax with both real machines and reproductions, including commercially! However, the first singer whom I have in mind for this, Francesco Tamagno, recorded on disks, which complicates everything. I was very familiar with cylinder recording prior to designing this project, though I had never done it myself, but I knew absolutely nothing about 78s. Then, I learned.

As I was saying, it is beyond complicated! Even if we took a chance and recorded the wax master and then used it for playback, skipping the step of actually making a shellac record, there is still the issue of finding recording equipment from Tamagno's time, which is ridiculously rare and doubtlessly too expensive for most people to consider buying. You might ask why we couldn't just use a cylinder machine, since they were certainly around in 1903. The problem is that their frequency loss was different from shellac records, so it would ruin the experiment if the difference was significant. Is it? Can anyone tell me? Do we even need to make a modern recording, or is technology good enough that we can simply add in the frequences from previous knowledge? If this can be perfected, or at least made feasible, there are hundreds of singers whose voices can finally be let out of the can, at least a little, and made to sound more life-like! Many of these didn't live to see electric recordings. I'm sure everyone would jump on this if I said Enrico Caruso was on the list, for example. But he, too, recorded on disks. I wonder if we can skip the recording experiment and use a singer, such as Tito Schipa (my personal favourite), whose recordings span both the acoustic and electric eras, from 1913 to 1964, as a control and gauge the frequency loss that way. If we wanted someone who recorded earlier, we could try someone like Alessandro Bonci or Mattia Battistini, but both only made it to the 1920's.
