Rowland Schultz - Vikingo de Jerez
Ostrie Music Supplies is proud to introduce you to Mari strings artist Vikingo de Jerez (AKA Rowland Schultz).

He finds the outstanding sound and playability he requires with Mari strings: "I record only on the best Flamenco guitars, Media Luna Conde Hermanos guitars made by Faustino Conde and Mariano Conde Senior and Andalusian Guitars have presented me with guitars for performance (Andalusian Guitars are Endorsed by Paco De Lucia). Daniel Mari Strings are the only strings on the market that truly bring out all the quality's of these guitars. I will give you an example : Another guitarist I work with had trouble getting an ample sound out of his guitar in acoustic scenario's, once I gave him a set of Daniel Mari strings to try out, he was literally blown away by the fact that he finally had the volume with touch control he had always dreamed of. He can now play lightly and have more volume than if he were to play with forte on the old strings he used to use." - Rowland

Check out Rowland's phenomenal guitar work and oud playing, and Michael's masterful cajon accompaniment here: http://www.myspace.com/vikingodejerez

Andalusian Guitars have proudly presented Rowland with handmade Custom Flamenco Guitars for exclusive performance use and promotions of Andalusian Guitars within Australia.

"Thank you Bill! I have ordered these strings from you before and they were amazing. My local music stores do not carry these Daniel Mari strings at all and would have to be ordered, but everytime I order anything from the closest music store to me they never call when they really recieve my order and it becomes a big frustration. When I ordered from you on the other hand I recieved them very fast and the strings were better than I imagined. Thanks again Bill and I will from now on be getting my strings through you!"
