Frequently Asked Questions About Classical Guitars
How do I choose the right classical guitar for my level?
Choosing the right classical guitar depends on your playing level, musical goals, and budget. Beginners benefit from studio-model guitars from renowned workshops, while advanced players and professionals often choose a handmade master guitar. We are happy to advise you personally and can send detailed sound samples and videos on request.
What is the difference between a master guitar and a studio guitar?
Master guitars are built entirely by hand in the workshop of a single luthier, using only high-quality, well-aged tonewoods. Studio guitars are made in small series, often under the supervision of the master luthier, and offer excellent value for students and ambitious amateur players.
Can I try a classical guitar at home for 14 days?
Yes — every guitar you purchase from us comes with a 14-day home approval period. This complimentary trial applies worldwide to all orders, whether you are in Germany, Europe, the USA, Asia or anywhere else. We ship your instrument fully insured in a high-quality case so you can play it under your own acoustic conditions. If the guitar is not the right one for you, simply send it back and receive a full refund of the purchase price.
Can I try a classical guitar before purchasing?
Absolutely. You are warmly invited to visit our showroom in Karlsruhe, Germany, and test the instruments at your leisure. We are happy to schedule a personal appointment. If a visit is not possible, we send detailed videos and sound samples, and offer extensive consultation by phone or video call.
What payment methods and financing options do you offer?
We accept bank transfer, PayPal, major credit cards, and Klarna. For high-value instruments, we offer individual installment plans on request. Please contact us directly — we will find a suitable solution for every budget.
How do I properly care for my classical guitar?
A classical guitar requires constant humidity between 45 and 55 percent. Store the instrument in its case with a humidifier, avoid direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations. Change the strings regularly and clean the guitar with a soft microfiber cloth.

About the Luthier
Since 1994, Giancarlo Nannoni has devoted himself with unwavering passion to guitar making, combining the technical knowledge from his studies with his love of music. In his youth, he played guitar and other instruments as an amateur, exploring a variety of musical genres.
During his violin studies, he met the violin maker Contavalli in Imola and was fascinated by the materials, tools, and scents that filled the small workshop. Looking back, Nannoni describes these encounters as the moment in which the desire to build instruments himself was born.
He later approached guitar making as an autodidact, immersing himself in the physics and acoustics of classical guitar construction, visiting museums and collections, and studying the instruments of great masters from past eras over many years. This research-driven approach became the foundation of his own building philosophy.
In the early years of his career, Nannoni was invited to significant exhibitions in numerous Italian cities, where he also gave lectures on guitar making at public and private institutions. His knowledge expanded continuously through exchanges with musicians whose advice and inspiration shaped his path.
Today, his guitars are played in Italy and abroad by university professors and young concert guitarists, including prizewinners of major international competitions.
