Ok, lost of interest so far and lots of voting both public and private...lol, you know who you are...
The voting for the blind sound top three ends tomorrow evening...so still time to vote for your choices.
Thursday AM I will announce the top three vote getters and on Monday AM I will announce the winner of the identification matching contest and award the banner to the one who has the most number of correct matches. Lots of time to make your choices: (hint: if you can hook up a pair of Headphones for the listening, it will help especially if you have less than great computer speakers. A powered set will also work great!)
Thanks for the competition so far...Now, onward and upward!

There was no tallying up to do.

We were just waiting to hear what guitar matched up to what sound.

He gave the tally's in the other thread.

Actually Stephen: there was...
I have been gone for three days in the remote mountains of SW VA/Kentucky border.....no internet, phone, cell service: just peace and quiet shattered by my 18 month old boy!

Besides which I have been unable to get on the original website because of the crash until today: and then I had to go through the forums at the new site....

I just got back in and need a minute or two to check all submissions: I have emails and PM's as well as the subissions to this site...not everybody guessed at the guitars so those that did are the only ones in the running for the banner. Results in a bit.

Threads almost a year old.
Original files are most likely gone from the server.

When the new site went up, I had posted them there; somehow in my adding new stuff, it got deleted...I am not sure if I still have the original file on the computer...I'll look...

I guess we could do it again...but not now...the new DAW will be here on Tuesday, so I hope to have the time to do some new things...

Meantime, I'll search for the original...

This is a year old test: the sound clips had been deleated from my page on the ning site but I have restored them: HOWEVER the old links do not work...just click on the link at the bottom of my sig. line and it will automatically play or you can go to my music and its the first one listed...
here is the list in the correct order of the guitars I played on the test:

1. 1981 Adamas I 1687-7

2. 2005 Adamas 1187-247 RI #87

3. Ovation 1987-5 Collectors

4. 1990 Ovation 1868-6p Elite SSB

5. 1989 Ovation TS-01-5 Thunderbolt Snakeskin

6. 1948 Martin D-28

7. 1988 Taylor 615-CE Brazilian RW

8. Ovation 1982-8 Collectors

Hope that helps: I may do this again since my recording has improved and I have some new guitars that should stump a few folks...but for now enjoy the old test.
