!! GORGEOUS SOUND !
Outstanding separation of voices, amazing vibratos, spectacular sustain, great singing voice are THE BEST compliments for a concert instrument. Such is the case with this amazing Cutaway beauty. The C Major Bach Minuet is the best testament to these qualities. Notice how sonorous the slides are, how round and clear the landing note sounds once the sliding finger gets there.. The counterpoint line is clear and well defined and the listener is submerged in Bach's magic from the very start of the piece. Low, swift action to make her a PLEASURE to play and looks to sweeten your sight for hours at a time. |

| The doble tapa, was developed
and introduced by Master Luthier Manuel Contreras the II at the end
of the 70s and reached its peak in the 80s. The word "Tapa" in Spanish
translates to top in English but it refers to the back of the instrument.
Therefore, Contreras doble tapa is actually a "Double back".
The lattice is a concept based on the A frame of grand pianos. The back and sides are kept rigid by means of a sturdy A shaped frame and the top is thinned as much as possible to allow the top to vibrate generously. As you see from the picture above, the thinned area is approximately 1.2 mm thick (VS 2-2.5 in the standard thinning techniques). Lattice delivers a lot of volume (approximately 21 dbs more) and wonderfully clear trebles. Radiused or flat fingerboard?
The hand embossed leather case is a work of art on its own right. Built by one of a handful of very talented leather embossers in Latin America. Its built following my specifications for the interior to fit Bellucci guitars like a glove. All Plush interior, key and accessories compartment. You can request an upgrade to a Cow hive front and back version. 640mm or 650 mm?
