It’s always a treat to review a Collings guitar – the build quality is very high, and it’s matched by exceptional tone and playability. The Collings OM2H Orchestra Model Cutaway is based on the proven Orchestra Model body design, also known as the ‘000’ body size, with a cutaway and herringbone binding and backstrip. The OM body size is very comfortable and well balanced.

Gennaro Fabricatore Romantic Era Guitar, 1830

Here is a wonderful 1830 Gennaro Fabricatore Romantic Era Guitar. There seems little doubt that the first modern 6 string guitars had their genesis in Naples in the 1790s, in the workshops of Giovanni Battista Fabricatore. Clearly Gennaro Fabricatore I and II were influenced by Giovanni. Innovations were a common occurrence in the Neapolitan hotbed of guitar and mandolin builders and Gennaro Fabricator soon gave their guitars a unique appearance and gained respect throughout Europe.

From time to time Deering offers us experimental banjos — banjos from their custom shop that were not ordered by shop or customer. When Barry Hunn from Deering called and offered me these two banjos I took them in a heartbeat.
