This is the first compilation of guitar music for a right hand technique that includes the little finger. The 12 complete compositions include original pieces by Charles Postlewate (Homage to Villa-Lobos, Variations on a Theme of Prokofiev and Improvisation on Green Dolphin Street), transcriptions of piano pieces by Claude Debussy (La puerta del vino and Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum), arrangements of Peruvian popular songs (José María and Virgins of the Sun) and new editions of standard repertoire pieces - two studies by Fernando Sor and the beautiful tremolo study by Agustín Barrios, An Alm for the Love of God. Postlewate also includes excerpts of two other standard repertoire pieces by Federico Moreno Torroba (Sonatina) and Heitor Villa-Lobos (Prelude #2) - which are published elsewhere under copyright restrictions - to show the advantage of using the little finger. These pieces demonstrate new right hand techniques for the classical guitar that use the little finger in the playing of scales, chords, arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics. They also show the advantage of using the little finger for speed, accuracy, strength and balance. This book is a companion to MB 98710 - RIGHT HAND STUDIES FOR FIVE FINGERS using Chords, Arpeggios, Tremolos and Harmonics , also by Charles Postlewate.

This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
The skins are as beautiful as can be expected. I'll be using them for canvas in an art project in 2026. I'll be a returning customer.
I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
