Leonard - 2026 No. 113 64 cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFrançois Léonard has been building classical guitars for nearly two decades in his workshop in Lorient, France. His formative experience included time with English guitar makers and a period at the Lakewood workshop in Germany, giving him a broad understanding of structural and aesthetic principles. Mentorship from Dominique Field further deepened his connection to the French school of luthiery. Informed by the legacy of Daniel Friederich and Dominique Field, Léonard’s work combines refined craftsmanship with a sustained interest in clarity, tonal warmth, and expressive control.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis lattice-braced guitar from 2026 combines a spruce soundboard with Indian rosewood back and sides. Its voice has considerable power and sustain, yet the sound remains soft-edged, rounded, and inviting rather than overtly brilliant. Notes open readily from a light touch, allowing the instrument to produce a full field of resonance without demanding excessive physical effort from the player.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAcross the registers, the response is even and well integrated, with sufficient clarity to preserve the shape of individual lines. Particularly notable is the range of colour available within its powerful lattice-braced construction: changes of attack and placement produce distinct tonal shades, giving the player considerable freedom to refine phrasing and articulation. The combination of immediate response, sustained carrying power, and a warm, complex tonal surface makes this an instrument capable of both broad projection and finely graduated musical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54314553737549,"sku":"KS17949","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/francois-r-leonard-2026-no-113-64-cm-10.jpg?v=1784231620","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/francois-r-leonard-2026-no-113-64-cm","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
