"This is an exceptional instrument in every regard.  She plays like butter, sounds terrific with incredible sustain.  What I noticed immediately was the exceptional clarity, the singularity of voice. I was reminded of a piano when I played her.  Everyone that's heard her so far is completely overwhelmed, as if to say, "ohhhhh, that's how an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound"!  Exactly!!   The sound is crystal clear.  Of course, the workmanship is stellar."

Richard Savage of Savage Classical Guitars

"What a wonderful work of art 'Le Mer', the Mermaid, from Rich Mermer is. We are so proud to have this unique offering for our Harp Guitar friends. It's beauty and high art are obvious and it also has tremendous tone and energy. Very light and playable, a great harp guitar!"

Paul Heumiller of Dream Guitars

"This one is unique in appearance obviously, but the tone is great and the guitar is extremely light for a harp guitar."

Al Petteway, player

"Rich, did you invent something really amazing or am I just drunk with the muse.  There is an orchestra in here!  I love this guitar!"
