Overview
Overview
Raffaele Dantone, born in Bolzano in 1993, resides in the picturesque Fassa Valley in the Dolomites. Surrounded by abundant forests, he developed a passion for woodworking early on. After several years as a wood carpenter, a transformative workshop with renowned guitarmaker Mirko Borghino ignited his interest in crafting classical guitars. This pivotal experience led him to enroll in the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano. Post-graduation, Raffaele honed his skills under the mentorship of master luthier Daniele Marrabello, who himself an accomplished and well-known luthier, focusing on construction techniques, sound quality, and meticulous details. Today, he operates his own workshop in the Dolomites, where he continues to create exquisite instruments.
This brand-new guitar by Raffaele is a stunning example of exceptional craftsmanship, reflecting an impressive mastery achieved early in his career. Traditionally built with a spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar is meticulously tuned to an F resonance, producing deep, charismatic basses that enhance its rich tonal quality. The trebles are brilliant and resonant, effortlessly projecting throughout any concert hall. A highlight of this instrument is its versatile color palette, allowing musicians to explore endless nuances and dynamic ranges in their performances. This guitar truly embodies beauty and sophistication in both sound and craftsmanship.
