Peter Oberg's guitars are amazingly even in tone from the lowest to the highest note. His instruments have great sustain, wonderful projection, and are very responsive. Oberg's guitars are technically and musically profound.

I recently completed a month of recitals, playing on my new Oberg guitar. The instrument is just awesome. Although less than a year old, the guitar is wide open, surrounding me with sound and offering a broad range of tonal color, resulting in very satisfying performing experiences.

At every venue I received comments on the guitar’s presence. I was told that even from the back of the room it sounded as though I were only ten feet away.

This guitar is truly a joy to play, and almost as much fun to simply admire. I’m very happy to have it and I would give a full recommendation to anyone who is considering placing an order. You won’t be disappointed.

This guitar is magical and the workmanship is second to none that I have ever experienced. The sound is vibrant yet so gentle allowing the true intended expressions to come out on all registers. I have been playing guitar intensely for over twenty five years and each time I pick this one up I always feel an anticipation of excitement, something I have never experienced with any other guitar I have ever owned.

As an owner of a guitar built by Peter Oberg, I would like to express my enthusiasm and admiration for this superb luthier.

My main concern in selecting instruments is 'projection of musicality': a term I use to describe a combination of power and sustain, along with musical flexibility. I have found that Peter's guitars display considerable volume and fullness of sound, without sacrificing quality; they also retain evenness throughout their dynamic range. They are true instruments in the sense that they can be used in any type of repertoire, from Renaissance polyphony, Bach, 19th century music to contemporary music, with clarity, projection, beauty of sound, and great musicality. In fact, I have found that playing an Oberg sharpens my hearing and stimulates creativity through its warmth and separation. I would recommend an Oberg guitar to anyone who seeks a gorgeous sound, tremendous dynamic range, and a clean, expressive playing experience.

For me, it is a great pleasure to describe the gifts of the instrument Peter Oberg built for me a bit more than two years ago…in fact, I am really happy to own and play that wonderful guitar. It is a cedar top guitar with the two characteristic sound holes on the sides, which I call “eyes”. The tone is warm and you get amazed by how much “body” it has. The power of the sound is astonishing: anyone who listens to it for the first time gets almost “shocked” by this feature-it is almost “aggressive”. Sound projection is excellent. Having had the chance to test the guitar in the most different situations and conditions, everywhere my Oberg sound arrives always clear and perceptible, even when I play “piano”. With this instrument it is possible to carry out wide dynamic ranges and its response to tonal changes is extremely sensitive.

Another important feature of this guitar is polyphonic clearness: I mean, the possibility to hear single voices in a chord and, even more, when I play counterpoint pieces, like Bach and Scarlatti. The Oberg has become a faithful mate in my job and wherever I play people appreciate it very much; also because this guitar allows me to completely express myself in my interpretations.

I would like to end this short note by saying that I consider myself lucky and honoured to be entered on the roll of his friends, and I am convinced that he will meet with success an even greater part of classical guitar professionals, as he richly deserves, and I feel up to recommend Peter’s fine instruments to everybody, because it just can do a lot of good to your playing!
