About the luthier:
Italian luthier Raffaele Dantone builds his instruments in Canazei, in the Dolomites, where he combines a strong respect for the Torres and Bouchet traditions with his own ongoing research. His guitars are characterized by carefully selected tonewoods, refined craftsmanship, and an approach that emphasizes clarity, projection, and expressive range. Each instrument reflects his continuous exploration of bracing concepts and soundboard architecture, aimed at balancing power with the warmth and beauty of a traditional voice.About the guitar:
This 2025 concert guitar, numbered 14, marks a further step in Dantone’s evolution as a maker. It features a five-fan bracing system, a departure from the seven-fan layout he employed earlier, with the goal of achieving greater projection and tonal purity. Some of the braces are made of local spruce while others are of aged larch, complemented by an under-bridge sound bar. With its spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the instrument has an air body resonance around G, offering a powerful yet elegant voice. The rosette design has been simplified to emphasize the natural beauty of the wood, and the slightly elevated fingerboard, with increased ebony thickness, allows both improved comfort in the higher positions and future adjustability while preserving a traditional appearance. The result is a guitar with a brilliant, full sound, remarkable clarity between voices, and a very wide dynamic range. It offers both immediate response and ample headroom, making it suitable for intimate playing as well as concert projection. This instrument demonstrates how Dantone’s work, inspired by Torres and Bouchet, has matured into a personal style of great distinction.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.

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 -
