More details about the guitar

About the luthier

Raffaele Dantone was born in Bolzano in 1993 and lives in the Fassa Valley in the Dolomites. Growing up in a region shaped by forests and woodworking traditions, he developed an early interest in working with wood and spent several years as a carpenter. His path toward guitar making began after a workshop with the Italian luthier Mirko Borghino, an experience that led him to study at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano. After graduating, he continued his training in the workshop of Daniele Marrabello, where he refined his understanding of construction, sound, and detail. He now works independently in the Dolomites, building classical guitars in a traditional manner with close attention to materials, response, and finish.

About the guitar

This 2024 classical guitar by Raffaele Dantone is built in the traditional style, with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. The choice of materials gives the instrument a clear tonal center, with warmth and depth in the bass register and a singing, focused quality in the trebles. Its voice is balanced and articulate, yet capable of a broad range of colour, which makes it rewarding both for controlled lyrical playing and for more expansive concert repertoire.

The air resonance at F supports a sonority that feels grounded and rounded, lending the basses notable presence without obscuring inner voices. At the same time, the treble register remains open and resonant, with enough clarity and projection to carry easily in a hall. The traditional build and French polish contribute to a lively, responsive character, allowing subtle variations in touch to translate directly into changes of colour, attack, and dynamic shape.

Condition

Mint condition, showing no visible wear and fully consistent with exceptionally careful storage.

  • 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.

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.

What payment methods and financing options do you offer?

We accept bank transfer, PayPal, major credit cards, and Klarna. For high-value instruments, we offer individual installment plans on request. Please contact us directly — we will find a suitable solution for every budget.

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.
