[Profile]
Marin Nejime was born in 1986 and is the son of Kojiro Nejime (Alberto Nejime Ono). Influenced by his father, he developed an interest in music and crafts from an early age, and after several visits to Spain, in September 2012, he stayed in Granada for an extended period of time to study under his father's mentor, Antonio Marin Montero. He builds his instruments based on traditional Spanish construction methods, which he incorporates with fresh and unique acoustic characteristics. In particular, the precision and beautiful finish of the paintwork is as excellent as that of his father and mentor, and every model shows a beautiful appearance. He has received high acclaim abroad and in 2017 won a prize in the production competition of the International Guitar Festival in Granada; in 2020 his interview and instruments were featured in Orfeo Magazine No. 15, published by the French publication Camino Verde.
Orfeo Magazine No.15 features an interview with Kaoru Ono(Masahiro Tanabe, Alberto Nejime Ohno, Marin Nejime, Yuichi Shimizu, Daisuke Kuriyama)
[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a Daniel Friederich Custom Model 2022 made by Marin Nejime. This is a very close copy of the original down to the smallest detail. The famous head design and rosette are completely based on the original. The sound board is made of cedar wood, which has an important connection with Friederich's own acoustic philosophy, and the intricate internal structure is perfectly reproduced. It is a high level of perfection and shows Marin's pride in his craftsmanship.
Although cedar is used for the sound board, the acoustic balance is not too much in the mid and low frequencies, and the characteristics of the cedar wood contribute to create a subtle roundness and depth. The sound is extremely refined, glossy, and dense, with a full and rich sound at every moment.
There are a few scratches near the sound hole, but there are no cracks or other repairs. The string height is set low, making it very easy to play.
