Jan Labant | Concert DT
Daniel Stark guitars have a steady and strong sound. These guitars have quick reaction in variation of the hand position with the plenty of colourful registers.
I have heard his guitar for the first time played by Eric Franceries. I was enthusiastic and immediately I made the contact. This luthier Daniel Stark seemed to me very young for making this wonderful instrument. His guitars are real handcraft and artistic products. Each of them is an original. Daniel Stark is able to make guitar for the guitarist in the way „made for his measure“, that means to satisfy his requirements. He uses the plot of the wood and decorations for aesthetic suave of his guitar as the art creation.
Jan Labant came to me with a particular problem. He had a fungal infection under his nails, causing them to emerge from the nail bed very early. As a result, he couldn’t play as powerfully as usual, and the guitar needed to produce the loudest possible tone with minimal picking force. We solved this with a particularly lightweight cedar top and a balsa wood core.
