Acoustics Center Whats the difference between auditorium and orchestra style acoustics?
I want a triple O acoustic for fingerpicking, I called Guitar Center and in my price range he recommended a Mitchell M0100svs. Never heard of the brand, but its called an Orchestra style acoustic.
Just wondering if you could tell me the difference.
Thanks for any info!
There are no absolute rules but in general an OM (Orchestra Model) has a 1 3/4" nut and a long scale (25.4"), and a 000 (triple-0) has a 1 11/16" nut and a short scale (24.9"). If you're playing fingerstyle the OM is a better choice because of the additional width at the nut and if you're a flatpicker then the 000 is preferable. However if you favor one scale length over the other then that could just as easily be the deciding factor.
What I told you is CF Martin's definitions of the terms, and they invented it, after all. Mitchell is a cheap Chinese-made knockoff of the Martin. Better to get the real thing. If you want an OM get the Martin OM-21. I play a 30-year-old Martin OM-45 but that now lists for $10,000.
