Coming from a family of musicians he first learned to play the flute, and later the classical guitar. After studying medicine, he pursued his dream of making musical instruments. Graduating as “Meilleur Ouvrir de France” in 1986, he has received many awards for his beautiful instruments and the designation as “Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur”. Olivier d’Andon is one of the most brilliant guitar makers of these times and his guitars are made with the highest creative energy and as well as extraordinary precision.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis guitar from 1998 has a modern appearance regarding the two-colored rosette and the form of the headstock. The arched top is made of spruce, back and side are Indian Rosewood. The binding, the headstock and the tuning pegs are especially beautiful. The sound is balanced with concise trebles and pleasantly warm mids and basses. The instrument shows signs of playing and spots of abrasion in the finish. The high-quality tuners are made by Rubner. A hard-shell case is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuthier:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlivier Fanton d'Andon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction year:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1998\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack and sides:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNut:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52462892286285,"sku":"942","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/olivier-fanton-dandon-1998-21012017-1.png?v=1758646171"},{"product_id":"olivier-fanton-dandon-2010","title":"Olivier Fanton d'Andon - 2010","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOlivier Fanton d’Andon was born in France in 1953 into a family of musicians. He first studied the flute and later the classical guitar before turning to instrument making after completing his medical studies. In 1986 he was awarded the title Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and his work has since received further distinction, including the rank of Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur. His guitars are known for their refinement of execution and for a highly individual approach to form and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFanton d’Andon belongs to that small group of contemporary makers whose instruments are immediately recognisable both in visual language and in structural conception. His work is marked by precision, a clear artistic identity, and a persistent interest in how design choices shape tonal behaviour. Rather than following established models too closely, he has developed a personal vocabulary that gives his guitars a distinct place within modern concert guitar making.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2010 guitar is a modern instrument with spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, and radial bracing, finished in French polish. Its construction gives it a strong sense of individuality, both visually and acoustically. The body feels slightly broader in proportion than many standard classical guitars, and this contributes to a sound that combines fullness with clarity in a particularly convincing way.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe voice is notable for its rounded and airy trebles, which carry unusual substance without becoming heavy. They have a soft, almost French elegance in character, with a smoothness that allows phrases to unfold naturally. Response is immediate and reliable, and the instrument maintains a pleasing sense of control under the hand. Sustain is very good, especially in the upper register, where notes remain present and connected without losing focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWhat makes this guitar especially interesting is the coherence of its design. The sound is responsive, full, and well integrated across the registers, with enough colour to support nuanced playing while retaining a stable tonal centre. Maple is often associated with quickness and definition, and here those qualities are present, yet they are balanced by breadth and roundness rather than dryness. The result is an instrument of strong musical poise, combining clarity, comfort, and a refined modern voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar shows only signs of normal wear consistent with its age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53606616203597,"sku":"KS17875","price":13990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/olivier-fanton-dapos_anton-2010-10.jpg?v=1774626549"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/olivier-fanton-dandon.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
