Mackenzie & Marr Review

- New guitar week! I recently ran across a company called Mackenzie & Marr, located in Montreal Canada. Scrolling through the available inventory, I found a Grand Manan Too, which sits somewhere between a dred and a OM/OOO. I received it this week and I have to say, WOW. This is one loud, resonant guitar that screams fingerstyle. If you have a problem getting any volume out of your guitar while playing fingerstyle, this may be your answer. Please see the following links to these guys:

Randy, you're making all of us up here blush. Thank you so much for the in-depth review.
You guys certainly deserve every bit of it and more. The attention to detail, in every way, was impressive, brother man 👍🏻
Now that is a beautiful instrument! I have played 2 of their instruments now and the quality is consistent. Thanks for posting this excellent review.
Yes ma’am, you are actually the one that provided the encouragement for me. I saw your review of the smaller version parlor and the smile on your face as you played it. Great video, by the way. I’m headed over to subscribe now, which I just noticed I hadn’t done that. Thanks again, ma’am 👍🏻
Great post Randy, I have owned a Mackenzie & Marr Dionisio cut away cedar top guitar for 2 years now. My 1983 Martin D-35 and 1986 Takamine George Harrison model both 'gently weep' sitting in the corner waiting to be picked up and played. That's how much I think of the Dionisio! M&M Guitars are the real deal folks!!! And one of these days I'll get another!
Hi Bob, thanks so much for the kind words and the commentary. I enjoyed the pun with gently weeps, most especially 😂. But as you say, that’s how highly you think of M&M. I’m right there with you, brother man 👍🏻
First of all, just stellar playing, Brother. Top notch.
What a great review- nice to hear that there are high quality, affordable guitars being made. I have no problem with the China aspect, especially since it’s run by a North American company. Great review, and great information 👏🎸😎
My friend, Paul! I’m glad to hear that I didn’t ruin this video 😂. I actually thought I may have overdriven the sound, but it seems to have not happened. Always appreciate your input and kindness, brother man 👍🏻
I own the MacMar Ian Tyson (it’s been reviewed on another channel). I also own a few higher end guitars, and let me tell you…Mac Mar hold their own against $3-$5K Martins! I love my MacMar and would encourage anyone it just buy one! You’ll be hooked! Great video!
Thank you, Mr T. Appreciate the additional testimony. I’m growing right fond of these guys myself. Thanks again, brother man, and don’t be a stranger 👍🏻
I like guitar so much!! Unfortunately I don't have one yet!! Beautiful sharing my dear friend Randy!!
Love and respect Kyle!! 😊🥁🇵🇭
Thank you, my we brother man Kyle 👍🏻
excellently superbly wondrous marvellously outstandingly superlative
Much appreciated 👍🏻
Holy cow Randy, that thing sounds awesome. Very clear while finger style playing and crisp while using a pic.
I would be happy with it. That extra body depth really makes a difference in volume too. You have a winner there.
I'll talk to you soon my friend.
Hey David, glad that came through in the video. I was a bit concerned that I had botched the video by overdriving the volume, so glad to hear that it may not have happened. Always appreciate you, my good friend 👍🏻

I didn't hear anything that sounded over driven. Sinle notes were clear and chords were never peaking, and I listen through my 65 inch Samsung flat screen with good external speakers. Didn't try with headphones but I would be able to hear flaws through my setup. You was right about it's sound, when we talked. They definitely have a winner with those guitars.
@@HayesTechAppreciate that additional feedback, brother man 👍🏻
I've just been on the Mackenzie & Marr website. I'm very impressed. The Riverboat dreadnought has got a huge sound. They're some of the greatest sounding instruments l've heard. And if ever l feel the need for a 12 string, l know where to look. There's is amazing. Thanks for sharing your discovery Randy.
Hi Andy, the Riverboat seems to be a cannon. I did see the 12 string as well. Great guys for sure, brother man 👍🏻
Beautiful guitar and a wonderful demo and talk, very well done Randy 👏👏👏👏
Always appreciate your feedback, Trevor. Thanks for the kind words, brother man 👍🏻
Great review Randy. Wonderful sounding guitar. 🤠👍✌️👏👏👏👏
Thank you, brother man Bruce. Hope you’re doing well, sir 👍🏻
That tune you’re playing in this is just about as beautiful as it gets! Great to hear your fabulous picking!!! Wonderful guitar!
Hi Ms Rose, you’re about as kind as they come, ma’am. Hope you’re doing well and thank you 👍🏻
Not a bad sounding guitar! They look like a solid outfit 👍
Not too shabby, James. Let’s go Brandon 👍🏻
Pretty good review. Nice to know people give honest reviews still. 😊
You’re a good man, Mr Aaron! Thank you, sir 👍🏻
I can't believe the price of that guitar! It looks and sounds just great. Especially in your hands.
Beautiful playing Randy.
Hi Andy, very much appreciate the kind words. These guys are a pleasure to deal with, brother man 👍🏻
So beautiful guitar and sounds great, Randy!! Nice video, my friend!
Hi Xavi, these guys are really great and seem to take pride in their work. Always appreciate your input, brother man 👍🏻
That guitar sounds great. I love your opening tune. Sounds like a sad cowboy song. Hope you and your family are well.
Hi Steve, appreciate the kind words, brother man. I think they are building some great guitars 👍🏻
Good video Randy, I'm going to look at these.
@@comentakeit7787 Love your handle! Appreciate the kind words, brother man 👍🏻
Beautiful performance Randy
Thank you!
Beautiful playing and very informative details about this beautiful guitar. I wish you all the best Randy !! Greetings from Austria😁
Hi Daniel, great hearing from you. Thank you very much and always appreciate your kind comments, brother man 👍🏻
What a beautiful guitar, sounds so nice when you were playing it too.
Hi Graeme, much appreciated, brother man 👍🏻. Hope all is well.
Another great video Randy! Never heard of this brand but it's sounds pretty dang good. The days of Chinese guitars being bottom of the barrel quality are long behind us.
I would love to see you do a video on an Eastman guitar. Eastman is also Chinese and the value of their guitars is quite unreal. I recently got their new E3OM Deluxe model and it's a fantastic instrument just like really most of their guitars, even the 'affordable' ones. I work in a guitar shop so I have played tons of Eastmans. Highly recommend them and I think that it would be a great brand to review on your channel one day!
Hi Tom,thank you very much for the kind words. Yes sir, Eastman have been on my radar for a while now. The E20 00 is one I’d like to pick up at some point. It just happens to be the first one that caught my eye. Appreciate you reminding me about them and I’ve had several folks mention them to me over the last year or so. I’ll also check out the E30M while I’m at it. I really appreciate the advice on this, brother man 👍🏻
That Mac And Marr sounds very nice mate. I dont believe they are available here in Oz, but Ive listened to a few online and they all sounded quite nice. Hope you are well my friend, take care and play on...P.S. Loved your freight train pickin brother, very nice playing indeed, and man that thing is LOUD!
Hey my friend, I think they build some great guitars. Appreciate the kind words. Freight Train is surely one of my favorites, brother man 👍🏻
Nice review Randy the guitar sounds awesome.
Thank you, brother man Oz 👍🏻
@@randysrhythm Keep plucking those cool guitars 🔥
Sounds and looks good, a fine guitar ;)
Thank you, sir 👍🏻
Hey Randy . . . . firstly, the tune you played for your intro was played beautifully and sounded great as well, and secondly . . . a very nice guitar indeed. Cannot believe the cost of the guitar $$ . . . hand made!!! 🤷🏻♂
Cheers my good friend . . . . John 😊 ✌
Hi John, great hearing from you. Yes sir, quite impressive for the money, brother man 👍🏻
😊 👍🏻
I'd bet 100$ this is the same case that SIGMA sells under its brand, haha!
Love to notice stuff like this.
Hey Igor, that’s quite an eye you have there 😁. You may well be right about that. It’s really a nice case and fits the guitar perfectly. Great hearing from you, brother man 👍🏻
Colonel , That is a wonderful sounding guitar with the looks to match. They maybe my next guitar to buy , I would have went with them but as you know I was hunting a Gibson.
I am glad it all work out and you are tickled with her !
If it hadn’t been for you, I might never have heard about them, Colonel Terry, sir. Thank you very much for clueing me in, brother man 👍🏻
@@randysrhythm Well when I her the girl playing hers I know you would like them.
Brother you are Welcome !
Wow Randy thats a beautiful guitar man.. I was just looking on the website and the one you got is the one I like best.. sounds fantastic👌Man next time I come across some $$ I reckon that may be the next one on the list, what a bargain.I know what you mean with the tuners.. the real thing is SO much nicer than the replicas..Nice review as always👍
Hi Jason, yes sir, for individualizing notes, this thing is a beast. Great hearing from you and appreciate the kindness, brother man 👍🏻
@@randysrhythm My pleasure Randy, great review and a very cool guitar. Hey how does the body size compare to the Yam on your lap roughly? I'm guessing it's more like the Furch size, slightly bigger and deeper?
@@JasonMckellMusic Yes sir, slightly bigger and dred deep. Thanks for the kind words, brother man 👍🏻
@@randysrhythm Awesome nice combination.. thanks man👍
For real ! ! ???? Can't believe the price you paid for that guitar......with a case ????? WOW ! I'd like one of those just like that in a 00 size with a pickup. 🎸🎸🎸
For real! It is a great guitar 👍🏻
Love mine as well, brother. A Grand Manon... it's a beautiful slope--shouldered dreadnought.
Hi Daniel, looks like there’s two of us now, brother man 👍🏻
Great review, Randy. I assume you watched the lady from the CZcams channel Guitar Notes and Notions. Great channel. How does this compare you your Recording King 000?
Hi Edward, it’s a tad larger and better built, in my opinion. Both sound really good, but this guitar has a feel to it that really grabs me. To me, there’s too much of a dice roll for QC with Recording King, brother man 👍🏻
Appreciate the kind words.
I left 3 comments and 2 got lost, what the hell...
Randy, can you please check the comments from CZcams Studio? Maybe they got moderated for no real reason.
Hi Igor, I actually just responded to one of your comments, but this one is the only other one I’ve seen. YT gets a bit strange sometimes and I’ve seen views on videos actually go down, which we both know isn’t possible. Sorry that happened to you about the other comment, because I’m always interested in your feedback, brother man 👍🏻
@@randysrhythm wow this is so amazing well done i love it and beautiful my frend great job
@@bunnyGIRLS143Thank you, Bunny 👍🏻
