Andrea Tacchi - 2013 Coclea Cedro No. 372
Overview
Overview
Andrea Tacchi was born in Florence (Italy) in 1956 when the city was flourishing with artisan workshops and artists’ studios. This stimulating environment and meeting the South American guitar maker Ricardo Brané made him a luthier. He developed his craftmanship and artistic tastes in close contact with Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich during the 80s. Later, he kept learning from other important guitar makers, such as Ignacio Fleta, José Romanillos, and Robert Ruck, having travelled to the United States, England, and Spain. Andrea Tacchi’s absolute mastery was generously and legitimately rewarded. He received early on in 1985 the first prize in the prestigious international guitar-making competition, the “Concours International des Facteurs de Guitare”, organized by Robert Vidal of Radio France. From there on, global recognition by guitarists and collectors led him to make on of the most extensive waiting list in guitar history. As a result, the number of legendary guitarists, prestigious professors, and young generation concerts who play Andrea Tacchi guitars. To name a few: Carlo Marchione, Carlotta Dalia, Antigoni Goni, Renata Arlotti, Filomena Moretti, Flavio Cucchi, Robert Gruca, Colin Davin, Minoru Inagaki, and Marcelo Kayath.
The 2013 Andrea Tacchi Coclea guitar, numbered 372, is a masterful creation that epitomizes the zenith of modern luthiery. Thanks to its cedar top and Indian rosewood back and double sides, this instrument delivers a fully open sound with extraordinary dynamic range, enabling musicians to effortlessly explore a vast spectrum of sounds and tones. Its most prominent feature is its great projection due to the doubled sided construction and responsive nature, complemented by a wide sound-color range that facilitates expressive and nuanced performances.
The tone of the Tacchi Coclea guitar is exceptionally rich and mature, characterized by a warm, romantic quality that is both singing and captivating. Despite being a preloved instrument, the guitar is in very good condition, exhibiting only minor signs of use. The soundboard has been repolished to bring out the beautiful grain of the cedar top, and a small hairline crack, located next to the lower bout, on the right side, has been professionally repaired to avoid any problems in the future.
This combination of superb sound quality, responsive playability, and aesthetic integrity, despite minor playing wear, makes the Andrea Tacchi Coclea guitar a treasured instrument for any serious guitarist or collector.

Classical Guitar
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
