Andrea Tacchi - 2014 Coclea Cedro No. 375

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.

This 2014 Andrea Tacchi Coclea guitar, numbered 375, is a remarkable example of contemporary luthiery, showcasing the finest craftsmanship. With a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and double sides, this guitar produces an open, resonant sound with an impressive dynamic range, allowing musicians to explore an extensive palette of sounds and tonalities. The instrument’s responsive nature and broad tonal color spectrum enable expressive, nuanced performances.

The Tacchi Coclea’s tone is deeply resonant and mature, featuring a warm, romantic voice that is both captivating and lyrical. Though previously owned, this guitar remains in very good condition, showing only light signs of use. The soundboard, free from any cracks, has been repolished to highlight the cedar’s rich grain, with only minor playing marks visible; a small dent on the side has been carefully filled and repolished, and two fine hairline cracks on the back were professionally repaired by Tacchi himself shortly after its completion and are not visible.

Balancing superior sound quality, playability, and visual appeal, this Andrea Tacchi Coclea guitar promises an inspiring experience for both dedicated players and discerning collectors alike.

Andrea Tacchi 2014 Coclea Cedro Classical Guitar Review

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    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.
