Because the Martin D35 is a solidly built guitar, it tends to stay
in tune through hard playing, and there is less tweaking when you move
to alternative tunings than with many other guitars.
The Sound of the Martin D35
This thing sounds like a big Martin rosewood dreadnought guitar. In
my experience, most Martin D-35 s are a little bassier and maybe a bit
more uncouth that D-28, but since that's not SUPPOSED to be the case,
I urge you to play the two side-by-side and see what you think.
The Martin
D35 acoustic guitar I've played have been loud, quite responsive,
and very full-sounding. These are manly sounding guitars, with the dreadnought
sound others try to imitate or build upon. They are great for accompanying
vocals or for bluegrass flatpicking. A Taylor 710 or Larrivee D-09 sounds
like a sissy if you've been playing a Martin D-28 or D-35
