A quiet revolutionary
Paul Galbraith is quietly revolutionizing the classical guitar world. He plays with his guitar held upright, like a cello. His specially-designed instrument even has an endpin in it, just like the cello. It's got eight strings, as opposed to the normal six. But more importantly, his sound is warm and expansive, and he plays with depth and artistry. Part one of Fred Child's conversation with Paul Galbraith is today. Tune in Friday for part two.
