Sound Pure's Take
Crispy, clear and lively, this Goodall Grand Concert sounds brilliant with any playing style and looks great doing it! This guitar's sinker redwood top is not only exceptionally beautiful in isolation, but allows the other elegant appointments to shine: the abalone snowflakes pop out of the ebony fretboard, the jewel-like rosette glistens ever brighter and the curly koa stands out warmly against the dark wood it binds. However, that master-grade top doesn't just look good. The guitar is remarkably responsive whether fingerpicking, flatpicking or strumming, with a tight but bold low end, positively brassy midrange presence and angelic treble. An absolute stunner from first blush to final note.
From Goodall Guitars
"The Grand Concert model is one of the world's most perfect guitars"
The Grand Concert model is a refined and beautifully proportioned shape, and is everything you could desire from an acoustic guitar and more. Its tone is a wonderful blend of balanced clarity, and punchy projection, with a smooth rich bass response. This instrument is larger than the Parlor but smaller than the Concert Jumbo. It has a singing lyrical treble, with excellent sustain, and is comfortable to hold. Though it is a small guitar, the Grand Concert does not exhibit the tight nasal tonal quality in the midrange and bass that is generally associated with smaller guitars.
"ideal for the fingerstylist and the flatpicker, with the appropriate tonewoods"
While the Grand Concert series is considered ideal for the fingerstylist due to its sensitive, dynamic responsiveness, it is equally appropriate for the flatpicker or plectrum player with the appropriate tonewood combination. It is prized by Bluegrass flatpickers and has even been said to surpass large-bodied dreadnought guitars with respect to its clarity, sustain, and powerful projection.
