Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

December 18, 2006 | Solocomp JM Review

Getting down to the "fundamentals;" in this case, the glorious harmonic fundamental tone of the new Old Wave Solocomp JM. We just received the fruits of a year-long collaboration and commission from world class builder, Bill Bussmann, and couldn't be happier.

This new instrument features a warm, rich sound, with its CGDA tuning, slick guitar-body shape, and a 4-string dexterity and 16" scale well-suited for chord-melody style playing. It's more than we could have ever asked for, and hope to see it as a standard production model.

We'll be posting sound files soon.
