640mm, Radius, Armrest, Violin tie with stress relief... SPECTACULAR !
Giacomo Puccini was premiering "Turandot," in Milan when this set of Brazilian rosewood started to air dry. The set was shipped from Cascavel
(rattle snake) a small Brazilian town a few hundred miles to the east of the Brazil-Paraguay border. The beauty and matching of the wood is simply
breathtaking. I matched it with a splendid Italian spruce top and went for the lattice bracing. The most brilliant type of bracing in my opinion.
The resulting guitar is this masterpiece. It emanates beauty and artistry from every angle and has a sound to die for. Deep, meditative when called
for expressiveness and lively and brilliant when necessary. The rich harmonic palette make the sound exquisite and rare and the projection and
sustain are unbeatable. We decorated her using the best marquetry. The violin tie is designed to remove the huge anchoring tension from the bridge
area and transfer it to a much more resistant part of the instrument. This way, the top is much more free to vibrate and generate otherwise
impossible colors and tones. The armrest, allows the tendons to be presented more naturally and removes every interference between the forearm
and the top allowing for full vibration of the top. The 640mm radiused fingerboard makes the playing so much more natural and flawless.
This is as good as a concert guitar can get.
