Cuatro

“ We have been playing David Oddy instruments for nearly 30 years and the Show of Sound is defined by them……..On stage I feature the guitars, mandocello, tenor guitar and also the unique South American tones of the cuatro and with Nick’s help hope to be featuring these Oddy instruments for years to come.” Steve Knightley
