He is a consultant for several foundations, associations, and museums of musical character and was also an artistic consultant of the Comune of Pieve di Cento (Bologna) for all activities relating to stringed instruments (exhibitions, conventions, courses, concerts, etc.). Lorenzo Frignani is President of the A.L.I Professionisti ( Professional Italian Association of Luthiery). His primary activities are the production and restoration of fretted and bow instruments.

One can easily notice the striking and impressive look of this instrument No. 250 from 2022. The exceptional quality Bearclaw spruce combined with dark and highly decorated ziricote back and sides give this guitar a particular value and one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Lorenzo Frignani found inspiration for this beautiful instrument number 250 in the guitars of David Rubio. Using Rubio's plantilla and ideal of sound, he adapted the internal construction and opted for a traditional "x-bracing," the hallmark of Lorenzo Frignani's guitars. Finally, the mother of pearl dots in the rosette and headstock and the many refined marquetry details make this instrument a true gem. The clear and rich basses with thick singing exhibit this instrument's outstanding overall balance. Easily one of the highest-level concert guitars with stunning craftsmanship.

Lorenzo Frignani 2022 No. 250 Classical Guitar - review

While this one is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    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.
