Overview
Overview
Michel Belair is an immensely talented Canadian luthier with an excellent educational background in music. As a former Alvaro Pierri and Roberto Aussel student, he earned a master’s degree in performance at McGill University and continued his guitar studies in Paris. When he commissioned his second guitar from Daniel Friederich, the desire to build his guitars struck him. He then learned guitar making from his friend and renowned luthier Jean Rompré. Thereafter, he benefited periodically from the expert assistance of Daniel Friederich. Following in his footsteps, Michel naturally adopted a very similar construction method and Daniel Friederich’s philosophy and scientific approach to guitar building.
This brand new 2022 Michel Belair is the first double-top guitar we present from Michel, and what an instrument! The lightness and responsiveness of this guitar are outstanding, and paired with Michel's exquisite level of craftsmanship, this guitar is, in our opinion, amongst what's best in terms of double-top guitars at the moment. The sides are doubled, as Daniel Friederich did, yet very thin so that they still participate in the overall vibration of the guitar but provide an extra in terms of projection and volume. A spruce fan bracing à la Bouchet combined with a light cedar/nomex/cedar double-top makes this guitar a powerful, complex, and rich concert instrument.

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.Look all products of the collection -
