Anne Wilkes Tucker.
As the book states “Guitar Masters” I am pleased to find my respected friend Uwe Kropinski
in good company. Just a few names out of the book that are pictured beautifully:
Andy Summers, Bill Frisell, Jim Hall, Pat Martino, John Scofield, Philip Catherine,
Alan Holdsworth, Al di Meola and many more...
Of course Uwe Kropinski has find long time recognition by many other famous guitarplayers
and other musicians who understand the art of his unique music and performance.
On the picture by Ralph Gibson, Uwe Kropinski is seen with the Custom Dolphin that is especially build for him.
This is truly a beautiful book to add to your collection.

Dear Theo, your classical is my favourite guitar. My other less favourite guitars are one Daniel Friederich, three Robert Ruck and two Thomas Humphrey.
Your build quality and sound surpass all of the above.
My Ruck guitars are the best Ruck guitars on the planet. The Friederich is great but is simply less sophisticated, less complex in sound quality and build quality. The Humphrey guitars are excellent.
Your build quality separates your guitar from the other guitars I have.
In addition, each string of your guitar sounds as the other strings with the same degree of volume, sustain and complexity. You have the finest Brazilian wood and it comes with superb sound volume and quality especially for a spruce.
They should study your guitar.
Sincerely,
Tom Moore

The web site’s Dolphin guitar looks very familiar. I have not put it down. I have many other guitars, but this Dolphin is very interesting: The sustain, balance, and “voice - all very mature. The guitar suggests not only ”classical” and “jazz” but new music. I am very excited about it.

Guys, many thanks for the guitar. It is excellent. I have been playing most recently with gut strings so tuning the nylons up, was just short of torture. It is almost there now. Now I have to play it in. Superb work!

The guitar looks and sounds beautiful. The guitar does not shout instead sings towards the audience; the broad spectrum delivers a strong presence that makes it possible to hear every detail even at the last row of the concert hall.
