Yo-Yo Ma

"I take out your viola occasionally and enjoy playing on it and admire it's sound."

Yo-Yo Ma is possibly the world's most famous living cellist.

Bill Glidden

"It was extremely comfortable to play, on both hands - the sound projected very well and the guitar 'rings' and resonates. Each string seems balanced with the others, and the workmanship is really superior."

Bill is a flamenco guitarist who has played with Juan Maya, Jose Greco, and many others.

Dennis Capodestria

"I feel familiar enough with this instrument to talk about it, but perhaps too in love to be critical... I've had the opportunity to play the guitar in large rooms to large audiences and I was quite pleased with the way it carried. I feel that the instrument has helped me to hear better and has facilitated a rapid progress in my playing."

Howard D. Menashe

"I feel that the guitars Mr. Knatt crafts are comparable in tone, design, and workmanship to the very best of the dozen or so internationally known and praised guitar constructors."

Miguel Rubio

Although not a customer, he thought very favorably of Tom's work. David Colburn had a La Gitana instrument on consignment and showed it to Miguel, "He played it enthusiastically and declared it to be the best American guitar he'd played, and I guess that's significant, because he reeled off a list of makers (with Velasquez at the top) whose instruments he's tried. Rubio said the bass range of your guitar equals that of his Ramirez."
