More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Giovanni Tacchi, son of the renowned Italian luthier Andrea Tacchi, grew up immersed in the craft of classical guitar making in Florence. His father’s collaborations with masters such as Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich informed his formation, and Giovanni has since developed and refined his own voice with exceptional skill and sensitivity.

His instruments are mature, with remarkable build quality and an outstanding tonal palette. This guitar stands among his most accomplished works, combining the refined heritage of the French classical guitar tradition with contemporary performance demands.

About the guitar

This 2024 instrument titled “Daniel Friederich” No. 36 reflects Giovanni Tacchi’s deep study of the Friederich aesthetic and his own refined interpretation of that tradition. Built in traditional style with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it measures 650 mm in scale length and presents an architecture designed for concert‑level performance. The finish is a classic French polish and the nut width is 51.5 mm.

Tonally this guitar delivers powerful and stable basses paired with the glass‑clear, singing trebles for which Friederich‑style instruments are celebrated. The voices separate gracefully, every note resonates and carries. The instrument responds with immediacy and clarity, offering refined expressiveness across the dynamic spectrum.

From the craftsmanship of the carved head plate to the elegant rosette and the perfectly executed inlays at the bridge, the construction is of the highest grade. The guitar embodies both visual and acoustic elegance, making it a true concert instrument of refined colour, strong dynamic presence and superb playability.

Condition

Excellent with minimal wear and only a few playing marks on the top. The finish is in great condition and there are no cracks.

  • 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.
