The cedar adds a unique resonance to the instrument that is both warm and responsive. The overall sound is full-bodied and rich, with a haunting and deep bass characteristic of the F main resonance. The trebles are lush and artistic, providing a beautiful contrast to the darker basses. In terms of playability, this guitar is exceptional.

  • 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.
