About the luthier
Raffaele Dantone builds his guitars in Canazei, in the Dolomites. His work stands in close relation to the traditions of Torres and Robert Bouchet, but it is not directed toward imitation alone. What matters more is how clarity, carrying power, and tonal beauty can be rebalanced within the framework of a traditional guitar. Careful wood selection, precise workmanship, and continued attention to soundboard design and bracing all play an important role in his instruments.
Dantone’s guitars reflect an approach that takes the traditional voice seriously while continuing to question how it can be made more effective in projection, tonal reach, and expressive flexibility. His research is not aimed at novelty for its own sake, but at building instruments that can develop real power without losing composure or warmth. That gives his work a clear internal direction and helps explain the coherence of his guitars as musical tools.
About the guitar
This 2026 guitar in spruce and Indian rosewood shows its quality not only in the initial attack, but in what happens after the note is released. The sound continues with striking ease, and the guitar produces a long, singing sustain that gives the whole instrument a strong sense of line. From the first impression, it feels like a guitar that does not simply speak clearly, but knows how to carry the tone forward.
Just as important is its evenness. The voice remains notably balanced across the register, without any part of the instrument pushing forward unnaturally or drawing too much attention to itself. That internal proportion gives the guitar a certain quiet authority. It does not rely on obvious effect. Instead, it sounds settled, mature, and dependable.
Its behaviour under increased attack is especially convincing. When pushed, the guitar responds with more volume and more intensity, yet it does not become harsh, compressed, or overdriven. That is one of the most valuable aspects of the instrument. It retains a traditional voice, but opens up enough to project with real strength when the player asks for it.
This makes the guitar particularly attractive for players who want more than tonal beauty from a traditionally built concert instrument. It combines long sustain, singing note development, stable balance, and a dynamic range that remains genuinely usable in practice. The result is a guitar that feels cultivated, but never timid.

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?

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.
