Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The loudest Adamas I ever heard was Beal's 2080 baritone in Matt Smith's hands with a cable installed for the low E string which was then tuned down to D, or possibly lower than that. This instrument looked like a guitar, but it no longer sounded like one. |

The two operative words here are "cable" and "loudest": cable meaning a bass piano wire/string (seemed so anyway) and loudest meaning a bass sound wave @ demolition dimensions! I think Homeland Security may be looking into that one, lol! |

Location: Lakewood, Ohio | On the Flea Market Music-ukulele forum someone acutally used a decible meter and tested several of his louder ukes. Ironically, the one he thought sounded loudest read lower on the decible meter than others. |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | I just realized that the two people that I drove to Stonge's house last May went missing and have just resurfaced. First Jason and then Fred. I guess my van will be empty on the next tour. Phil(Sleepy Eyes Mcgee), Johnny (Strumming12)haven't been around either. The only known survivors of my driving are The Wabbit and Weaser P. |

Location: Texas | I am very happy because this is what the ofc is all about,
Threads that invite all members to post about their guitars, ofcers that otherwise just read the posts but seldom participate.
Not everyone can attend the gatherings, and it is fun to read about the events and memories of the ones that can, but it is nice when there is a thread when you have everyone talk and share about their guitars.
So, Adamas models seem to be the loudest Os.
Who wants to do a count of all the loud models so far? |

Location: SoCal | Thought this was just O's...we all know the superior technology of the textured top Adamas will have the quality of sound/voice while blowing anything else out!!
Emphasis on quality of voice because you can always beat on a guitar and make it loud...It is a quality instrument that can be played softly; or hard and loud while maintaining superior "voice".
And a few of us have either the 1688 Adamas I or the 1685 Adamas II 12-str or both...then, unless the competition is limited to 6-strings, the Adamas I/II 12-str will lead the pack. |
