About the luthier

Chiara Frisio is a Milanese luthier with deep roots in a family of musicians and artisans. After finishing high school, she followed her calling to instrument making and enrolled at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano. There she studied under esteemed teachers such as Roberto de Miranda, Silvia Zanchi, Ivan Bruna, and Bob Van de Kerkchove. After earning her diploma as Maestro Liutaio, she refined her technique over several years in the workshop of Lorenzo Lippi, expanding her knowledge across classical guitars, mandolins, and historical instruments.

Chiara Frisio is part of a new generation of makers with a keen eye for detail and a refined sensibility. Her work focuses on the nuanced tonal color possibilities of both modern and historical guitars. With every instrument, she seeks a balance of playability, acoustic depth, and expressive precision, always guided by her commitment to beautiful sound and thoughtful craftsmanship.

About the guitar

This 2025 spruce-top concert guitar by Chiara Frisio exemplifies her dedication to clarity, balance, and refined response. With Indian rosewood back and sides, French polish finish, and traditional construction throughout, it embodies a modern approach rooted in classical values. The air resonance falls between F♯ and G, supporting a full, elegant tone that projects with ease.

The sound is warm and direct, with a particularly well-shaped midrange that allows melodies and bass lines to remain distinct even in polyphonic passages. Basses are deep yet controlled, trebles are clean and vocal, and the entire register speaks with cohesion and refinement. The response is quick without being brittle, offering the player a flexible dynamic range and effortless articulation.

The neck is finely contoured, providing a natural and relaxed playing position for both hands. Every detail of construction reflects a commitment to clarity and aesthetic simplicity — from the clean lines of the headstock to the luminous finish that highlights the quality of the tonewoods. It is light and resonant, with just the right degree of resistance to support nuanced phrasing and expressive touch.

  • 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.

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.
