Takamine

We received dozens and dozens of great video entries for our "Go Play Outside" contest in Summer 2021, and it was difficult to pick the winner. However, Paride Pignotti's "Abuela's Waltz" had all the right elements that we were looking for: a beautiful song played with expertise, with terrific sound quality, and an amazing outdoor setting on the banks of a meandering river. We could listen to Paride play all day! He is living in the Boston, MA area while studying at Berklee College of Music to get his masters degree in global jazz. Hopefully he’ll get some more inspiration from his prize… a Takamine Pro Series CP3 NYK (a $1,749.99 value) along with a Takamine leather guitar strap, a set of D’Addario strings, and a Takamine t-shirt to wear for his next video.  See all the winners of our "Go Play Outside" contest here.
