About the luthier
Mirko Migliorini completed his studies at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria in Milan in 2002. During his training, workshops with internationally recognised guitar makers encouraged him to develop a distinct personal approach to construction. His work received early recognition with third prize at the fifth International Guitar Making Competition in Baveno in 2001, followed by the Golden Guitar at the twenty sixth International Guitar Conference in Milan, a distinction reserved for a small number of makers who have made a significant contribution to the art of instrument building. Migliorini’s guitars combine a high level of craftsmanship with a strong musical sensitivity, often bringing modern construction concepts together with tonal ideals rooted in the classical tradition.
About the guitar
Clarity and separation are central to the character of this 2026 double-top guitar. Individual voices remain remarkably distinct, even when the texture becomes dense, while the response preserves enough elasticity to move freely between contrasting colours. The guitar can produce a brilliant, focused sonority without becoming hard, yet it can also be drawn towards a rounder and more enveloping tone. This breadth of colour gives the player considerable control over articulation and phrasing rather than confining the instrument to a single dominant sound.
Equally notable is the consistency from string to string and across different positions of the fingerboard. Notes retain a coherent character as lines move through the registers, supporting clean contrapuntal playing and allowing changes of colour to be shaped deliberately rather than compensating for uneven areas of the instrument. The spruce double top responds quickly, but the sound remains organised and well separated, combining the immediacy of modern construction with a particularly clear sense of definition. A removable metal tornavoz adds another dimension to the concept, allowing the player to introduce greater depth of resonance and a longer sense of sustain when desired.
The visual language is modern but restrained. Indian rosewood back and sides frame the pale spruce soundboard, while the elevated fingerboard reinforces the contemporary construction concept. Yellow accents in the rosette are echoed in the purfling and bindings, creating a subtle continuity of colour throughout the instrument. Fine fretwork and softly rounded fingerboard edges further reflect Migliorini’s attention to the details that shape the player’s physical contact with the guitar. The result is an instrument whose refinement is expressed less through ornament than through precision: clear separation, even response, a wide spectrum from brilliance to roundness, and an unusually flexible relationship between touch and colour.
Regular care extends the life of the instrument
Even with careful use, a classical guitar may gradually change in appearance or respond to unstable storage conditions. Have a close look at your guitar regularly and be attentif to changes. If your instrument is suffering from its environement, it will let you know.
Protect Your Guitar: Handle with Care
Be mindful when touching your instrument with greasy or unwashed hands: any skin contact is a small attack on the varnish. Of course, a guitar is made to be played, but taking a few precautions helps preserve its beauty: wash your hands before playing, wear long sleeves, and avoid unnecessary direct skin contact with the body of the instrument.
Pro tip: Avoid playing with a button-up shirt, heavy jewelry, or a belt, as these can scratch the guitar. Also, make sure your guitar case is free of any objects that could damage the instrument during storage.
String care
A good habit to adopt is wiping down your strings briefly after each playing session. This small action significantly extends their lifespan and helps maintain a consistent, comfortable feel under your fingers.
Most importantly, clean strings are essential for keeping your instrument in tune. Corrosion, sweat, and dust can affect the uniformity of the strings and interfere with accurate tuning across the entire fingerboard.
Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting your guitar in tune, it might be time to change the strings. A useful test is to compare the pitch of the 12th fret harmonic with the fretted note at the 12th fret; if there's an unusually large gap between them, your strings may have lost their integrity and should be replaced.
Keep Your Shellac Finish Shining!
Got a guitar with a shellac (French polish) finish? Here's a simple trick: Take a clean microfiber cloth and gently breathe on the surface to create a light mist. Then, softly rub to remove fingerprints, sweat, and grease. That’s usually all it takes to keep it looking great, no products needed!
Pro tip: Every few years, treat your guitar to a check-up with a luthier to keep it in top shape.
Storing Your Guitar: Climate Matters
Your guitar can safely stay outside its case, as long as the surrounding environment maintains 42–55% humidity and a temperature between 18–25°C.
Keep in mind that humidity levels can still fluctuate inside the case, especially during seasonal changes.
- Too much humidity may cause overtightened strings and a dull tone.
- Too little humidity can lead to a bulging top, string buzz, or even cracks.
Avoid placing your guitar near radiators, air conditioners, or windows with direct sunlight.
Pro tip: Always close your guitar case while playing. This helps preserve a stable microclimate inside the case, so your instrument is protected the moment you put it back in.

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.

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.
