More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Ivan Bruna is an Italian guitar maker based near Livorno where he builds concert guitars entirely by hand following the classical tradition. He studied at the Scuola di Liuteria di Milano and deepened his craft through an apprenticeship with Enrico Bottelli. His work is shaped by analytical attention and by a philosophy that places musical clarity and structural coherence above novelty. Bruna refines traditional methods with meticulous precision, seeking a sound that combines richness, stability and a bold singing core. His instruments are respected for their elegant workmanship and for a voice that maintains clarity across a wide dynamic range.

About the guitar

This guitar from 2024 is traditionally built with a spruce top and beautifully figured birdseye maple for the back and sides. The entire instrument is finished with French polish which preserves both resonance and tactile lightness. With a scale length of 640 mm and a nut of 49.5 mm the guitar offers an immediately comfortable feel and a slightly more compact geometry. Gotoh tuning machines complement the clean and precise visual presentation of the instrument. At only 1370 grams the guitar responds quickly and breathes freely even under the lightest touch.

The sound is airy, full bodied and warm with a round softness that gives each note a natural presence. The resonance is strong and the sustain is long which allows melodic lines to unfold with ease. The instrument projects clearly yet keeps a gentle character that feels inviting and expressive. The balance across the registers is even and the guitar reveals many colours with only small variations of the right hand. It offers a reassuring sense of stability without losing its openness. The maple voice is present and gives the guitar a smooth and luminous quality that enhances both lyrical playing and transparent polyphony. This is an instrument that encourages the player to explore a wide tonal palette while remaining consistently comfortable in every position.

Condition

The guitar is in mint condition and shows no signs of use.

  • 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.
