A Blue Series Designed for the Essentials: Wood, Feel, Music
With the Blue Orchestra, Furch emphasizes straightforward lutherie: carefully selected solid tonewoods and an open pore finish that lets the wood breathe. Within the range, this model stands out with the Sitka/walnut combination: a choice that maintains clear definition while adding a woodier, more organic color, ideal for nuanced playing.
Who Is This OM For, and Which Styles?
The Furch Blue Orchestra is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive acoustic that is easy to master and enjoyable over time. Its OM format excels in fingerstyle, folk, acoustic pop, light accompaniment, and compositions where precision and dynamics are paramount. It also responds very well to pick playing, as long as a defined sound is preferred over overwhelming bass.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce top provides projection, a clear attack, and clarity that highlights playing details, especially in picking. The solid walnut back and sides add a woody warmth and excellent midrange clarity, with tight bass and clean highs. The OM format promotes overall balance: each string has its place, sustain remains musical, and the guitar retains a quick response, ideal for nuances and fingerstyle playing.
