After attending technical schools, he turned decisively toward guitar making and built his first instrument under the guidance of Maestro M. Novelli. From 2003 onward, he devoted himself fully to the construction of classical guitars. His training also extended beyond the guitar workshop. He attended a bow service and repair course at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano with Maestro Pietro Cavalazzi and later studied violin making at the Scuola di Liuteria di Pieve di Cento under Maestro Marcello Bellei. Since 2004, his instruments have gained increasing international recognition and are played in concert settings for their projection, tonal refinement, and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Ducale model reflects Maguolo’s close connection to Venice and to Italian craftsmanship. Its visual concept draws on the architecture of the Palazzo Ducale, while the model as a whole represents his attempt to unite structural efficiency with a responsive and flexible musical result. Maguolo describes the instrument as part of an ongoing development in which a light and reactive soundboard is supported by a strong but carefully controlled overall structure. The aim is not simply power, but a sound that remains warm, silky, and changeable in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Ducale No. 319 is a lattice braced concert guitar with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides. In the playing impression from the video, its most striking quality is the ease with which it produces a full and immediate sound. The response is quick and open, and the instrument reaches a high dynamic level without requiring much effort from the player. Rather than sounding merely forceful, it remains controlled and clearly organized across the register.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eParticularly impressive is the first string, which sustains with unusual length and carries a distinctly singing quality. More broadly, the trebles remain clear and projecting, while the voice as a whole keeps a strong sense of separation between lines. This clarity is essential here, because the guitar has considerable volume yet does not collapse into density or blur. The result is a sound that feels expansive and well breathing, with strong projection, clean articulation, and enough transparency to preserve musical detail even at higher output.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe 64 cm scale adds to the sense of ease, making the instrument especially appealing for players seeking a more compact feel without giving up projection or tonal reach. The Ducale therefore presents itself as a modern concert guitar whose power is matched by precision. Its lattice design clearly supports immediacy and projection, but the tonal result described in the transcript is not raw or aggressive. Instead, it combines responsiveness, sustain, and clarity in a way that gives the player both security and expressive range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691902853453,"sku":"S18911","price":9990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/marco-maguolo-2026-ducale-no319-16.jpg?v=1775830654","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/marco-maguolo-2026-ducale-no-319-64-cm","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
