BELLUCCI
Classical & Flamenco
Hand crafted Concert guitars

My involvement with the classical guitar started in Italy in 1968 and it has taken me to study with Andres Segovia, Narciso Yepes and other legendary classical guitar players and teachers. Great craft work, low cost of labor and a great selection of woods, have made it possible for me to come up with a great instrument using famous guitars as models. The instrument we are building at present is based on a 1943 Hermann Hauser Sr. Naturally, we add our own touches to adapt this classic to the needs of the contemporary player. You can choose the concert guitar using any of the following soundboard bracings: Hauser, Lattice, Double-top (Nomex® center hollow reinforcement). All Bellucci guitars are made of solid, air dried WOODS. A custom concert guitar with these characteristics is sold anywhere between 6,000 to 12,000 US dollars in Europe and the US.

I grew up as a guitarist hearing Andres Segovia and John Williams' recordings. The sound of Segovia's Hauser made me fall in love with the classical guitar. I have grown to respect everything that carried a "Made in Germany" seal from an early age.

My other great influence when growing up and learning the skill of guitar playing was Abel Carlevaro. He was an innovator and he inculcated the same investigative spirit in me. I offer the lattice and the double top (also known as hollow top) as an option in the Hauser frame and I enhanced the Hauser design to make it more apt for the contemporary player and repertoire.

What the lattice and double top does, is enable the luthier to thin the top to otherwise impossible measures. The thin top produces a larger displacement of air when the string is plucked resulting in a more powerful sound. The lattice and the double top are optional in all Bellucci custom guitars. Nomex is synthetic material developed by Du Pont to make high tech fire resistant clothing for firemen. It happens to have terrific structural and acoustic characteristics that make it a luthier's favorite synthetic top construction material. It is used to create the double top soundboard.
