This Especial Homenaje model, demonstrates Francisco Muñoz’s mature style and attention to detail. The guitar presents a graceful and cohesive aesthetic, with finely executed inlays and subtle decorative elements that reflect traditional inspiration with modern precision. Built using a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the instrument offers a full-bodied, generous sound that balances clarity and warmth with impressive projection. Tonally, the guitar delivers strong, resonant basses paired with sweet, singing trebles. Its excellent balance across the registers, along with its traditional construction, provides a nuanced and expressive voice that responds beautifully to dynamic playing. The 640 mm scale length, combined with the well-contoured neck and smooth setup, makes this guitar especially comfortable to play, appealing to both soloists and chamber musicians seeking expressive range and ergonomic ease.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.
