“The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice.”
Andres Segovia
Our classical guitars are the result of years of study of the best instruments built in history. Torres, Hauser, Romanillos, Stauffer are just some of several great guitar builders that inspired our classical’s design and voice.
Studying the evolution of building techniques is key to understand the physical functioning of an instrument and subsequently to the implementation of new solutions to improve the voice and the comfort.
We design our guitars to get the best out of these features and we build them with the best materials meticulously selected, seasoned and dried in a humidity controlled environment. Every guitar is built according to the musician’s requests, paying particular attention to materials properties.
We have several models available, designed for every kind of musical repertoire.
Concerto model
Our Concerto model is the result of study and research conducted on both historical and modern models, merging tradition and innovation.
The solutions utilized aim to maximize the comfort and sound performance of the instrument, all without sacrificing the typical tonal expressiveness of the classical guitar.
Some features of this model include laminated sides with two layers of solid wood, laminated linings, carbon fiber reinforcements for the neck, and a traditional-inspired fan bracing.
Historical models
We offer historical models of classical guitars from the 19th and 20th centuries by various makers, from Fabricatore to Lacote, Stauffer, Torres and Hauser.
We build these instruments following a philological approach, respecting the dimensions and materials used in the original instruments.
Crossover model
This model is the result of our experience in the world of classical and acoustic guitars. It arises from the need to obtain an instrument with the sound of nylon strings along with the ergonomics and some features of an acoustic guitar.
Radiused fingerboard, narrower nut, amplification, cutaway: these are just some of the customizations you can request for this model.
