Dominique Field's name is inscribed in the great history of lutherie, in the line of and beside the great names of traditional French luthiers who, since René Lacôte in the 19th century, and later Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich, have raised this art to the highest level. His guitars have been played by some of the greatest concert artists.
The first thing that impresses, even before hearing it, when you see a guitar built by Dominique Field is the beauty, the quality of the work reaches a level of perfection, refinement and elegance unheard of. The second thing that impresses when you hear the guitar is that all these qualities are reproduced in the musicality of the instrument. When we raise lutherie to such a level, it becomes an art, the guitar is no longer an "instrument" of music, but a musician in its proper place, an associate of the interpreter, it participates with him in the deployment of this musical beauty likely to affect those who listen to it. This guitar, built in 2012, is no exception to the rule. Its sound presence and musicality are of an amazing quality and level, making it an exceptional instrument.
