My name is David Brody, and I have been teaching classical guitar at Wichita State University, Wichita, KS, since 1986. I was Hector Garcia's graduate teaching assistant at UNM during the late '70's. I have owned a Pimentel Concert #1 since 1978. I have three other guitars, a Kohno and two Rodriguesz's. My Pimentel is still the standard that I go back to in evaluating guitars, and I still prefer it for my many types of music, specifically the the music of Tarrega, Llobet, Turina. The sound has grown to a very rich maturity that my other guitars lack, and that I can't seem to find in any other instrument.
