“I cannot thank Paul enough for assisting me with purchasing a truly beautiful instrument. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet with Paul while vacationing in Montreal with my family. With the assistance of a proprietor possessing a deep love and appreciation for his chosen merchandise, I was able to play many fine instruments for about 2 and a half hours. After much discussion over the attributes of each, I made up my mind and bought my weapon of choice. Every time I pick up my new Carsten Kobs cedar double top, I am in constant heaven. I know double tops are a subject of much negative opinion, but Herr Kobs was able to achieve a remarkable balance of projection and tone quality. The sound is strong and bright – yes, bright for a cedar top! The trebles shimmer like moon beams and the basses are deep and warm. Oh… and the playability is superb! I would also like to add that Paul’s De Cascia guitars are a great choice for any student pursuing an undergraduate degree, or just playing for sheer enjoyment. Excellent quality for the price!”
