This 1962 Martin D-21 offers a straightforward, articulate attack, alongside a balanced voice with a touch of warmth. The spruce top and rosewood back and sides work together in a way that feels even and unforced, with a midrange that sits comfortably forward without sounding sharp. There’s a gentle softness to the attack, and the notes tend to hang together in a cohesive, rounded way rather than separating too quickly.
