9-12-2009: CD release ZWEI: Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Uwe Kropinski
It is becoming useless to compare Uwe Kropinski as an acoustic version of Jimi Hendrix (said by Pat Metheny) or saying he is creating new sounds on acoustic guitar like John Scofield has done for Jazz guitar. He is not all that!

2008 CD: Roberto Aussel
Atahualpa Yupanqui, La paloma enamorada
This CD has become one of my favorites. First because I love the music of Atahualpa Yupanqui and second Mr. Roberto Aussel perfomers the pieces in such a beautiful way: it goes straight into your heart.

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.
