HollandDear Renato,

Do you know that the Bellucci guitars are becoming famous in the Netherlands?  This guitar is really unbelievable! The sound is already marvelous and the shape and the workmanship of this guitar is amazing. Thanks to you and the builders!!!

Greetings, your friend, Errico, The Netherlands, June 16, 2009 

USDear renato,
    The 10 strings guitar arrived today, intact. First of all let me say that it is a beautiful instrument, a real masterpiece. I like the quality of the sound which is sweet, surprisingly so for a flamenco guitar. It is also very playable and takes no getting used to. I am really pleased with this instrument . I am in the process of trying to sell another one of my guitars and if i succeed, I will be in touch with you for one more instrument, this one to be made of a fancy wood. Also, I really like the 630 mm fingerboard. thanks for the nice new instrument.
Best wishes,

USHello Renato,

I recently received my beautiful Rosewood Doble Tapa Alpine Spruce guitar (#789). It arrived in perfect condition because of the care used in packing. I love the ease of the short (640mm) scale length and radiused fingerboard. I have played for 30 plus years on "traditional" dimensioned instruments and can say that this guitar is so easy to play - difficult passages are now easy to hit and my left hand does not get fatigued during extended play. My left hand stretch is much less than 9", I should have been playing this design of neck years ago! Bravo for a comfortable, practical design.

What a gorgeous guitar! The wood combinations and detail work make this guitar a real looker. Its tone (especially the basses) have so much sustain that close attention must be paid to deadening unwanted string vibrations -they seem to vibrate forever!  I look forward to many, many years of making music with this wonderful guitar.
Sincerely,
Loren Johnson, Tulare, California, USA, June 15 2009

USGreeting Renato;

I received my guitar safe and sound. It is absolutely fabulous. It is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. The tone is marvelous. The base tones are simply unbelievable. Every detail was attended to. Give my congratulations to all who worked on the guitar. Your talent and craftsmanship have given my family a treasure that will be enjoyed for decades. 

You are so right about the arc fretboard. It is so much easier to play. I no longer want to play my old classical. The ease of play has made me a better guitarist. 

I hope to come to paraguay in the future. I would love to see your artistry in person. I have been to Asuncion on humanitarian trips and would love to see it again. 

Thanks again.
Paul Milligan, TX, USA, June 5, 2009 

Dear Renato,

   Just a few words to thank you for this special guitar.  It is very beautiful not only to look at, but also to play.
The first comment from everyone who has seen her is WOW!!!
My compliments to you and to your team. I consider it a great privilege to own this Bellucci masterpiece.
I very much look forward to ordering a custom built Zorro in the future .

Many Thanks

Hi, Renato
I have received new babe today. The hard wood container is very well done ! I'm very satisfied with this beautiful, artistic figure and finishing. I love the dark colored Cocobolo. She's already sounding beautiful in the trebles, and I LOVE the playability. Fantastic!! I will display this babe to Japanese players through and You Tube.
Thanks, Renato.
With my love and gratitude, I say with pride that I have made your acquaintance.
Big HUG.
Yoshihiko Maruyama, June 1, 2009, Japan

USDHL did a good job with the delivery. I have read the instructions and am following them. The guitar is simply great in terms of both sound and playability. I appreciate the craftsmanship as well as the overall design of the instrument. I will be taking very good care of it.
This is a great guitar and I hope to introduce it and your shop to my friends and other musicians. It has already added much happiness to our lives!

USHello Renato,
Got your guitar yesterday - perfect job !! - nothing to say 'so-so' about. Very good craftsmanship. Easy to play - the neck is very convenient. And I liked the black nut and saddle -- look nice on this one. Thank you again for the quick shipment, and I got the chair too, nice. Again, thank you for the very nice guitar, it is a pleasure to play it. 

Regards, Anatoliy, NY, USA, May 25 2009 

USDear Renato, 
      Just a note to let you know that I have been getting used to the cutaway classical guitar that I have just purchased from you and I find that I am liking it more and more. It really is a beautiful instrument to look at and the construction is excellent. I like the quality of the decoration. The sound is very pleasing and well-balanced. Overall, I think that the instrument represents a terrific value for the price, perhaps the best I have ever seen. I certainly have spent more money in the past for classical guitars that were not nearly as impressive as yours. I am looking forward to the 10 string flamenco.

best regards, Allen, May 19, 2009  

USRenato,
      She got here about a half hour ago. Everything is as promised, the packaging, the case, the instrument.  I've tuned her and played just a bit.  I am most pleased. A bit later I will give her more of a workout.  I will be among many who will sing your praises.  Thank you for your care, honesty and craftsmanship.

Swiss flagCaro Renato,
Ti scrivo per per dirti che ieri ho ricevuto la chitarra, anche se immagino che, tu e la tua formidabile equipe di liutai, siate da tempo abituati agli elogi, non posso fare a meno di dirvi un grosso grazie con un ben meritato bravissimi. Lo strumento é andato al di là delle mie aspettative. Il suono é davvero superbo, ma sopratutto ho apprezzato la maniabilità dello strumento e l’accuratezza dei dettagli. Tuttavia, penso che la migliore maniera per ringraziarvi sia passarvi l’ordine per due altri strumenti (e forse un terzo per l’anno prossimo).
Ringraziandoti sin d’ora a presto

USDear Renato,
Thank you for the beautiful job done on the Zorro cutaway that I received last month; It is quite beautiful, and continues to open a bit more every time I play it. I appreciate all the hard work and incredible attention to detail that went into the making of this beauty. Thank you sir. I wish you great and continued success in the future.
Respectfully yours,

USMr. Bellucci,
My new guitar is a real treasure to me.   As I was playing my new Bellucci I realized that compared to my first guitar, it is like holding a real baby instead of a plastic doll. 
Thanks so much.
Deborah, April 14, 2009, NC, USA 

USDear Maestro, My beautiful "Everest" arrived yesterday and she is just simply incredible! Not only gorgeous to look at, but the sound is absolutely amazing. Deep basses and sweet trebles compliment any piece I play. It already sounds great and I know it will continue to open up 
in the coming days. I hope to join your master classes so that my technique and repetoire will continue to improve. Some day I wish to order a cedar top from you! Thank you so much for the fantastic guitar!

Your student,

My new Bellucci guitar scores 10 on every front.  The guitar is the most beautiful I have ever seen. The sound is already beginning to develop. The neck and fingerboard are amazing. It is like someone has stuck a Ferrari V12 in there. The shorter neck is going to set a new standard. 
John, Australia March 16, 2009

Dear Renato
Just thought I would let you know how brilliant your guitar is. It is  developing  far quicker than any other spruce. The middle voices are so strong that I have actually change my right hand technique.  The first change in 15 years. 

Thanking you,
John

Dear Mr Bellucci and staff team, my guitar arrived this morning, she truly is a  thing of beauty and a wonderful instrument. Your craftsmanship is precise and shows great workmanship, skill and attention to detail. I appreciate that you took the time to re-string the guitar for a left hander and I like the mother of pearl markers.

The packaging was extraordinary, as you quite rightly claim, it is almost impossible to destroy. I would like to thank you personally, and also you staff team for their amazing commitment and talent in producing such a beautiful item. Thank you staff team, I will take care of and appreciate your workmanship. 

Well my guitar arrived in an almost bomb proof box, incredibly well packaged, inside the outer box a beautiful leather case housed my guitar. I will admire her beauty and sound for many years to come . Well done and many thanks for your prompt and courteous service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends. I hope to someday purchase another beautiful guitar from you.

Best Wishes

Canadian flagHi Renato, 
The "Mac" arrived in top condition. This is one gorgeous guitar and I do not mean just appearance. The sound from the get go is fabulous. This is my 5th guitar since the 70's including a model played by L Boyd. I think it may become my best.

ItalyGood Evening Maestro:

The sound is incredible and the instrument has a great soul; these woods really sound !! A grand tone and a wide choice of sounds are there for me, ready to be used, ready to fulfill every single musical need. Renato Bellucci has made it possible for all my dreams to follow me everywhere.
My Hands tremble with anticipation !!Again, thanks for this masterpiece and the professional approach every step of the way.

ItalyBuonasera Maestro 
Ho sempre desiderato uno strumento che mi permettesse di pensare solo a cercare le note più belle...e la mia Bellucci concert classica (serial #645) mi dà la possibilità di esprimermi al massimo senza pensare ad altro, facendo scivolare le mie dita di tasto in tasto...
La suonabilità è incredibile e lo strumento ha davvero un grande feel; questi legni suonano davvero! Un tono grandioso e un'ampia scelta di suoni sono lì per me, a portata di mano, pronti ad assecondare ogni mia esigenza. Renato Bellucci ha fatto sì che miei desideri siano diventati lo strumento che mi accompagnerà in ogni circostanza.
...Le mie mani tremano per l'emozione solo a guardarla!!! Ancora complimenti per il capolavoro e la professionalita' dimostratami.

USRenato, I got the classical sinker redwood with brazilian rosewood. It came  safely and words do not describe its beauty. I  am already saving for another perhaps African Blackwood or something similiar. I am very happy.  Thanks again for the beautiful work. I have several friends that I have also recommended your instruments to. Thank you.

ItalyDear Renato, the 8th Wonder of the world has arrived ! She's simply fabulous, refined, a true masterpiece made with first quality materials and attention to detail. This is not only my opinion but the opinion of every single person that has seen her. They were all in awe ! 
Not to mention the comfort in playing ! A true pleasure to play ! I have no words...the neck is top notch ! ...The sound is already fabulous with great separation of voices even if it is early to make a "final judgment"... still, its already fabulous.  You have been wonderful. Thank you and my dear God for giving you this good taste and mastery to bring such a  masterpiece to life.
Best regards Fede!.

Federico F., Italy, Jan 17, 2009

USHi Renato, 
I received the new guitar about a week or so before Christmas and wanted to live with her for a while before I wrote you. Well, she's Gorgeous!--the dark Indian Macassar wood is just beautiful and your choice of bindings and purfling along with the top makes her a beautifully integrated work of art. A friend looked at her, his eyes popped out and he said "WOW!!".

I tuned her up, strummed a chord and said " Yes, this is good!". I have played her almost everyday since then, and she has opened up--deep and distinct bases with very nice clear trebles--and good balance. The intonation is right on and the neck is really nice--a pleasure to play. I'm also glad that you emphasized the 640mm scale on your website and even more glad that I went with that on the guitar! It makes a noticeable difference. 
   I want to thank you for working with me in getting this guitar--she is an inspiration to play! The next time someone asks me where they can find a fine guitar, I will have them play the one you built for me and then direct them to your site.  Thank you very much,

USRenato,

I am at work and just received the guitar. She is magnificent!  The workmanship is outstanding, and the guitar in person is actually even better looking than in the pictures (and who thought that would be possible??!).  The leather case is also the perfect compliment to her beauty.  She was obviously packed with great care, and you made this process a pleasure.  Believe me, not being able to play a guitar before spending thousands requires a great deal of faith!  Renato, you said you would build me a masterpiece..and you certainly did!  Thank you. 
....God Bless!!!!

HungaryDear Reanato,
When the guitar arrived blissfully and I opened the case we found the guitar so marvelous that we could look at her only for a long while. It did not come to our mind to take her out of the case. Amazing! After tuning her the other surprice came.The sounds, sonority getting from her are much more rich than one can expect from a brand new instrument. I am more than satisfied with her, it is hard to take her down. I do not think there are too many workshops worldwide where one can purchase a perfect guitar such as this one. Thank you very much for this masterpiece. Best regards,
Istvan, HUNGARY, Seprtember 18, 2008

USHello Renato, 
She has arrived safely and she is absolutely beautiful! My La Dama is a work of art for sure. The attention to detail in the wood work is excellent Renato and the woods are spectacular as you said. …the tone is sweet and round yet clear on each string…just as I hoped it would be.
 She is wonderful Renato…thank you and your team for this very special guitar. I can’t wait to show her off….She seems to like La Catedral by A. Barrios…one of my favorites…wonderful tone for that piece.
 Best Regards,

Dear Renato,

We received our second Bellucci Masterpiece yesterday. It is truly a work of art. Everything about it is more than perfect. The sound is truly beautiful as is the choice of wood and hardware.

When Miles opened the box that it arrived in, his eyes opened up the size of dinner plates.

My son's guitar teacher said that the neck was straighter than his Ramirez and said the sweet tone was reminiscent of a Hauser.

Please thank all the people involved in making her. Bravo Renato.
Kind regards,

Chris, Vicki, Ziggy and Miles Johnston, Australia, Sep.5, 2008

USRenato,
   I have received the Zorro African Blackwood doubletop sinker redwood guitar and you are absolutely correct in saying that she is a beauty to behold.  She is everything in the pictures and even more.  Your instructions state a reasonable amount of time for the guitar to acclimate and the guitar started to produce an unbelievable sound.  All this considering the guitar is not broken in yet.  I can hardly wait for the real sound to resonate from this guitar.
   This guitar produces a bass that has to be heard to appreciate.  The sound port adds to the enjoyment and the guitar strings are perfectly set up.  The workmanship is first class and anyone who has heard otherwise about a Bellucci guitar need not worry.  This guitar is an instrument to appreciate and enjoy.  My other two reputable guitars do not even come close to this Zorro treasure.  When one enjoys looking at a masterpiece, one enjoys playing it even more. 
    Thanks you Renato for coming through with this wonderful guitar.

Just letting you know how the guitars are doing after playing them for a good period of time. Hal wanted to wait so his flamenco could come to it's full sound. He wanted me to tell you the sound is great good for many styles of music. Also the workmanship is excellent ! He wants to thank you for the quality of the instrument and the easy of play. My cocobolo is beyond words. The over tones are the best and one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen. We both thank you and hope to have more in the future. We are always going to recommend your guitars to our students.

IrelandHi Renato, 
My guitar arrived on 5/8/08 in perfect condition. On opening the crate and then the case, I was taken aback by the aesthetic beauty of this instrument. The quality craftsmanship of the build and the setup is just breathtaking. 
The climate here in Ireland is considerably different to your own so I decided to wait one week to allow the guitar to adjust to its new climate and then I tuned the guitar to play it for the first time.The tone is spectacular and the instrument itself so responsive and easy to play. I have followed all your instructions in your notes which I thank you for. I have played guitar for over 40yrs and now teach classical guitar and I can tell you that I have never seen, or heard, or played a more beautiful guitar than the one you have just sent me.
Finally, a huge "Thank You" to you and your master craftsmen for creating such a wonderful instrument that I will cherish, and enjoy playing for the rest of my life.
Yours in music,
Frank O'Keeffe, Glanmire, Ireland, August 18, 2008 

USHi Renato 
I received the guitar a few days ago.  I am very impressed with your creations. Your Work of Art is absolutely magnificent!  It's beautiful in every way. I celebrated with a bottle of  champagne and a couple of friends when I opened the very well boxed guitar. Everybody was so excited to see it come out of its box.
I tuned it and started playing  a few songs that I know.  The sound it produces is just a pleasure to hear. It even made me , a beginner, sound good.  I can't believe I own such a beautiful musical instrument !!!

First of all I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate for the fact that providing me a great service.
I received my guitar yesterday in perfect condition. This piece of art is truly beautiful! I love the color coordination of the rosette and inlaid purflings that you matched with B&S. I am very pleased with the construction and quality. The most importantly is its sound. Yes, it has great projection deep rich bass, clear trebles and lots of sustain, the sound that I expect from a high level classical guitar. Once again thank you so much for providing me such a wonderful instrument at affordable price.

"La Dama" has arrived a week ago in a perfect condition. She is a truly beautiful Lady and I love the tone and color of her voice. I'm very happy with Her and I'd like to thank you for creating such an amazing guitar for my enjoyment. You are true artist Renato. Thank you very much !

Again, thanks so much for such a pleasant transaction and getting to know you. 
God bless you and your family for giving Him all the glory!!!

USDear Renato,
Just letting you know that I picked up my Beautiful New Babe yesterday. I just cannot thank you enough Maestro for the exquisite workmanship that went into the creation of this stunning masterpiece. This is without a doubt the most beautiful Guitar that I have ever had the privilege of holding in my arms, and the best part about it is she's mine. I have to pinch myself every time I hold her hoping I do not wake up from a dream. As exquisite and visually stunning as this Guitar truly is, the playability and tonal character of this Masterpiece is even better. The action is just wonderful; and the intonation is close to perfection. The sound of the Guitar right out of the box is astonishing to say the least. Judging by the fact that this babe is bran new and only a few days removed from the final lacquering, this is the best playing and sounding Guitar I have ever owned or had the privilege to play. I can only imagine how the sound will improve over the days and years ahead as I play her. Every piece that I play on her sounds like I'm playing the piece anew; and with each pluck it seems I am truly discovering the music anew as it was meant to be heard. BRAVO!!!!! Maestro, and THANK YOU!!!! from the bottom of my heart, you have not only made my day with this beauty, but you have made my life for music.
A thousand hugs,
Richard, AL, USA, August 1, 2008

USRenato:

I received my new Brazilian guitar in perfect shape and am absolutely thrilled with it. I've never seen such a beautiful guitar, the wood is so interesting and different.  You've done it again and I wanted to thank you so much for such a beautiful work of art. Very very special "babe"!!!
Yours: 
Mark Knudson, OH, USA, July 18, 2008

USHi Renato,

My guitar came Monday July 14. 
I was so happy/relieved to see how well you prepared her for the journey to Los Angeles.  The box made of strong plywood and the guitar nestled in a dense foam padding in addition to the padded bag, I couldn't have asked for better packing.  I will keep the box in case I have to move and she will be protected without worry.

I could not wait to hold and play her.  Renato, you are a genius, the way you matched everything   is true art to be compared with any painting you've ever been taken with.  Her beauty is beyond words and she has a voice to match.  I can feel her sing throughout my body, something I'd never experienced before with any guitar, mine or someone else's. Her voice has changed in the short time I've played her and can't wait to hear the beauty of it as and when she matures. 

The workmanship and crafting of my guitar is flawless and believe me I looked inside and out.  The guitar is so well built that, I believe with proper care and maintenance she will last for several life times.   In truth I have never seen anything like it.  Not in workmanship, beauty, sound quality and choice of materials, appointments, and  I've had the pleasure to have seen some exceptionally crafted guitars in the hands of their owners as they were being played.

I only have one regret and that is that I waited to order my guitar for as long as I did.  If I had it to do again I would without hesitation.  I will highly recommend you to my friends but, in truth, once they see and hear my guitar they will be asking me how to get one.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you so much for this beautiful gift, I know I will have a very hard time putting it down.  It is truly a work of art!!! 
Yours very truly with a BIG hug!, 
Mark Knudson, June 2008, OH, USA

USRenato, 
My instrument arrived yesterday and it's absolutely beautiful! The wooden container and packaging was great. I can't believe that in just four days from Paraguay to my doorstep in Massachusetts. 
The workmanship is wonderful and I'm only beginning the process of playing it in. I'm looking forward to listening to the tones open up over time. You were correct, the bases are much deeper and resonate much more than my current instrument. And the finish is really beautiful. Very, very happy! This process was worth the wait. In fact, I'm contemplated ordering another instrument. Blackwood this time. Can't wait to show this baby off and even more anxious to get home and play. Thanks for all your help and communication. 
Regards,
Paul, MA, USA, June 19, 2008

USRenato,
It's only been 3 days since I received my Beautiful Guitar. I could not wait any longer to comment.
As a retired brass instrument concert musician (many years ago), I have a good background in quality instruments and have played the guitar as a relaxing pastime for nearly 45 years. For the past 30 years I have been creating in wood as a Master Carver and Sculptor in wood, so I know the qualities and characteristics of wood. I have also been carving relief and incise designs into custom musical instruments for almost 20 years. Through all of this, I have seen no instrument that surpassed a Renato Bellucci Guitar creation in quality, beauty or playability. What a magnificent instrument! The woods are of rare aged choice and quality, which makes these instruments the most beautiful and resonating of any anywhere. 

My new guitar is a work of art. The Master luthiers, apprentices and You, Renato, need to be commended for your commitment to excellence. 
Thanks for the multiple optional choices in the ordering process. Sorry, I kept adding to the order as it progressed. 
This instrument has actually possessed me to practice to be better....not just to entertain myself.
 I'm an old guy with a new toy....What a Joy!
 With mucho thanks,
Kent Bailey , June 13, 2008 

USHello Renato:

First of all I would like to express my thanks to you for making such an incredible guitar. What a display of talent! The quality and tone of your instrument is superb beyond all my expectations easily surpassing that of my Ramirez, Blochinger and Tezanos. All of which I spent thousands more. They don’t even come close. Definitely the best value and investment in a concert guitar I ever made. This guitar looks, sounds and speaks very very highly of your dedication to the art of classical guitar. I am looking forward to purchasing my next instrument. Talk to you soon. 
Thanks again and may God continue to bless you, your family and team of luthiers. 
Hugo Richer, Houston, Texas, June 10, 2008
 

USDear Renato;
The Blackwood has arrived safely it really is quite astonishing!  It is hard to believe that woods can be manipulated to create instruments of such beauty and sophistication, but it seems you have all outdone yourselves yet again.  Everything about it is spectacular,  and the "phase 3 " bulge in the spruce reminds me of hand carved archtops. 
 I truly appreciate all you have done in the past year to provide me with these fine instruments.  This is a great enterprise you have taken on, and I wish you continued success in all your artistic endeavors. I look forward to communicating sometime in the future, perhaps even a visit for some lessons 1st hand ! 
Thanks so much Renato !

USDear Mr Bellucci,

Thank you for the spruce top Brazilian guitar which I received yesterday. After opening the case, I saw nothing but a gorgeous looking instrument. I have never had a Brazilian guitar before, and I compared that with the Indian rosewoods that I have, and it was really no comparison. 
As you have said, the guitar has tremendous volume even compared with steel string guitars. Besides the clarity and the separation of the notes, it is very easy to play. The biggest surprise I have is that this guitar's tonal quality is very "sweet". Something that I have never experienced. I played with it for almost three hours before I put in down. That kind of got me wonder what a double top would sound like. I am now contemplating of upgrading it yet by getting a double top spruce brazilian from you soon...
In any event, thank you again for the great sounding guitar.

mangore.com: Páginas en EspañolHola Renato
 Hoy a medio día me trajeron la guitarra.
 Tenías razón, es una belleza. Las fotos que le sacaste no le hacen justicia. Ahora que la tengo a mi lado veo que es más hermosa que lo que se podía apreciar en ellas. El acabado es excelente, perfecto, colma sobradamente todas mis expectativas. Se toca muy fácil con ella, el grueso del mástil y la altura de las cuerdas hacen que sea sencillo tocar... Me gusta mucho el sonido, los agudos son "cristalinos" justo lo que yo quería.
Estoy encantado y agradecido. Ha sido un acierto pleno escojeros a vosotros para encargar mi guitarra. Teniendo en cuenta el precio, más que razonable, y el resultado final, esto para mí ha sido un gol como una catedral. Estoy muy satisfecho. Muchas gracias por todo. Tu amigo, 
Jose Luis, May 13, 2008, La Coruña, Spain

Hi Renato
I received the guitar today.
You were right, she's a beauty. The pictures you posted do not transfer the real beauty. Now that I have her with me, I see her in all her splendor. The finish is top notch, perfect, it fulfills all my expectations. She's easy to plays... the shape and thickness of the neck and the height of the strings is also perfect and make her so easy to play. I love the sound..."crystaline trebles" exactly what I was looking for. I am in love. To choose your shop to build my concert guitar was a wise decision. Plus the price was right, much more than right....The final result feels like  scoring in a soccer final. I am completely satisfied. Thanks for everything, Your friend
Jose Luis

AustriaDaer Renato:  The babe arrives last Wednesday safe and in perfect condition, thanks to your huge and stable wood crate and once again many thanks for your extraordinary support. I also want you to know that from my point of view the whole process was absolutely benchmarking and I loved the contacts we had. Maybe we see us once in Asuncion but for the moment I’m very happy for the fortune that we became acquainted. 
Your/my guitar is really fantastic,  I named it from the first moment I saw and held it “my guitar”. But the absolutely winner is the playability and the sound which is unique. The sound improves with every day of playing and right now it is a beautiful and big one and I suppose the improvement will continue. My wife is a professional flutist, teacher and leader of a chamber orchestra, and she also loves the sound. She told me that the sound coming from this guitar is the best she ever heard, touching her heart and soul. What more can I want than this – I love my guitar and of course my wife for her reaction. When I look at the Blackwood babe I see and feel all the efforts and love which was necessary to create her, in all her beauty and details. You must be a lucky man.  Best Regards, also to your family and your team of luthiers

USRenato: The guiatar arrived today, packed so well in a wooden crate. She is so beautiful and sweet smelling, her sound is like an angel. Thank you, it was well worth the wait. Will contact you again about a Flamenco with same specs only Black Lima back and sides.  This guitar will inspire me forever. David 
David, May 10, 2008, USA

USRenato,
The guitar arrived yesterday afternoon. I waited and unpacked it last night and to my amazement there she was as beautiful as expected. The Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar Top blend together like they were made for each other. Your attention to detail is magnificent. I read another comment, where the man asked you. Why do classical guitarist have such beautiful wives? It is because you are a perfectionist, it shows in your work and even in your website. I believe you and all master classical guitarists have to strive for perfection. The beautiful music you create with your guitars must attract beauty into your life.
Thank you again, 
Robert L.,  Jacksonville, Florida, USA

USRenato: I received  the guitars...played until my fingers hurt too much...WOW!!!!!
THANK YOU!!! My gratitude and commendation to everyone involved in making these guitars,
Fernando, Hawaii, USA, Apr. 24, 2008 

USRenato: 
What can I say!   Simply stunning.   I received the guitar this morning waited about two hours and opened the package.     I strung her up,  and within 10 minutes the guitar started to sound beautiful.  Deep resonant bases very much like the two John Price guitars I've owed,  but the trebles are much more focused and clear.  A real cross between an Australian (Smallamn)  guitar and Spanish constructed instrument   I suspect that after a few days the trebles will be even more bell like and crisper.   I know guitars very well, having had many different makers over the years.   This guitar is a winner!   I must say this guitar is a vast departure from the guitars you built in the beginning- several years ago.  The workmanship is excellent and sound is much much better.    I like the larger sound port- it blows out air and keeps me cool!  quite amazing.    Also the radiused fingerboard and smaller scale works great.    I'll keep you posted about the sound as it evolves.    April 22, 2008: One day later and the guitar is still getting louder,  the trebles are becoming piano like. 
Steve S., New York, USA, April 20. 2008 

Dear Renato,
Truly, you are a maestro AND a gentleman! You promised me a  'masterpiece' and you delivered! Am I glad you are a dedicated  musician and not a self-promoting politician! THANK YOU, Renato, for your 'work of art'! It is indeed a RAVING  BEAUT - in LOOKS & in SOUND! Brand-new, and yet the sound potential  is there. Zounds, what a sound when it comes of age! LOVE the woodgrain of the Macassar Ebony & the clean and elegant look  of the Italian Spruce Top! It is truly a 'Thing Of Beauty' and I am  truly grateful ALL THE VERY BEST to you and your superfine team of luthiers. May the name 'Bellucci' become one day as iconic as 'Fleta' or  'Hauser' - your 'heroes' of LUTHIERY!
Your friend from Western Australia,

USHi Renato,
The instrument arrived last evening, safe and sound, and in record time.  It is in its case in my studio, acclimating.  I will bring it into tune a bit later today.  The guitar is a truly beautiful work of art.  I look forward to hearing its tone open up as I break it in in coming months, and I can't wait to find out what it will sound like in 5 or 6 years -- I have a very special Martin that took almost 10 years to mature fully, and I am patient in these matters.
Many thanks.  I look forward to playing this lovely piece of art in performance, and to making others aware of your instruments.  If I ever need another classical guitar, you will be the first person I seek!
By the way, I've been reading articles on your website, and I delight in your dedication to teaching and your approach to the instrument.  You are a fine artist and a good man.
Until our paths cross again, 
Via con Dios,

Brian, Colorado, USA, April 10, 2008

USAloha, my friend
I just wanted to let you know my cocobolo babe is changing tone daily, you and your boys should be very proud of the quality of your guitars. Hal played it the other day and he was impressed by the very beautiful tone. Both Hal and I  have students that will be ordering  concert guitars from you very soon. We will do our very best to help sell your beauties here in Hawaii. I will keep you posted on the changes of the cocobolo beauty. Also, if you need a testamonial for you web site, just let me know.
Your friend always

Hi Renato,

I received the guitar. She's really beautiful and the sound is GREAT ! What I was looking for.  I can tell you that I have never played such a beautiful guitar before. I thank you so very much. Your staff did a great job. This will not be my last Bellucci !
Best regards - 

Galvan, Poland, March 2008  

USRenato,
The guitar (537 -Flamenco blanca) arrived safely. Your staff did an excellent packing job! I owned a Music Store for 30 years (sold it in 2004) and I have to say that I rarely saw an instrument as nicely and safely packed. 
The guitar plays great! The 640 scale and radiused fingerboard is fantastic -- I don't understand why this isn't the standard. Your setup is also excellent -- it is just as I would have wanted it. I hope it doesn't vary much as it settles in. 
I'm getting used to the sound. It pushes more mid-range than I'm used to, but I hope it will mellow in with time. I will pass your information on to my friends, colleagues, and students.
Thanks!!

John Dragonetti, USA, March 2008 

ukHi Renato,
My guitar arrived yesterday. After carefully unpacking her I spent the next hour just looking at her, she is really beautiful. Later in the evening I tuned her up and ran through a few things - if this is what she sounds like now she will be really amazing in 6 months or so !! Thank you and your team very much for all your hard work. 
A very happy Paul.
Paul Sumner, UK

ItalyDear Renato ! The guitar has arrived. SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ! The fingerboard is extremely comfortable and so is the neck ! I had been dreaming of a 640 for quite some time..! The finish is TOP and the sound ? MAGNIFICENT !! EPIC ! 
What else can I say? Thank you for giving me a chance to  own her, thanks for thinking of us, the poor mortals that do not have Segovia's huge hand and having spared us all types of tendinitis thanks to the radius and 640 mm. Thanks for being GREAT ! Bye
God Bless you ! All the Best

Claudio Tassi, Poggio Catino ITALY, March 2008  

Ciao Renato! La chitarra e' arrivata oggi..SEMPLICEMENTE BELLISSIMA,la tastiera e' di una comodita' eccezionale,come anche il manico! Era da parecchio tempo che sognavo un diapason da 640..!! Le finiture sono di alto livello...il suono?........MERAVIGLIOSO!! EVOCATIVO!!! 
Cosa dire di piu'? GRAZIE per avermi dato l'opportunita' di averla,GRAZIE per aver pensato a noi poveri mortali,che non abbiamo la stessa mano sinistra di Segovia,per averci risparmiato dolorose tendiniti.......
con la tastiera radius e il diapason da 640!! GRAZIE per il tuo essere un GRANDE!!!  CIAO!! 
GOD BLESS YOU!!  ALL THE BEST!!!

USDear Renato
I received the guitar today. There are no adjetives to describe my euphoria.
The ease of playing, sound and sustain are not to be belived. It is a masterpiece.
As you stated, your luthier is the best on the planet. Must be. Please thank him for me.
I can not imagine it actually sounding better in the future. If it does, I might go insane with pleasure.
Your friend forever,
Dave S., FL USA, Feb. 2008

ukDear Renato
I have waited until now to write back to you about my 2 new Bellucci guitars. I have found that new guitars change so much in the first month that it is not reasonable or fair to assess them until after then – and as you say, they go on improving for at least the next year.
So first the flamenco blanca:
This arrived in early December. The finish is perfect, the mother of pearl rosette gives a beautiful contrast to the blond wood and ebony trim.

I changed the strings to Hannabach Flamenco after a few days, and kept the guitar out of its case, on a stand. I changed the saddle over to the flamenco one (many thanks for the thoughtfulness of including both saddles).
What has amazed me, is not only do I have the penetrating sound of the flamenco guitar ( the “breaking glass” effect), but the depth of tone of a much heavier instrument – truly 2 instruments in one. Congratulations!
So to the Brazilian Rosewood:
This arrived just after I left for Canada for Christmas, so I left instructions in the office to take it out of its case and put it on a stand ( the office is centrally heated, but Cornwall has a steady humidity level of just under 60% - ideal).
So when I came back 3 weeks later, it was well and truly acclimatized!
So looks – what can I say that would do justice to the looks – the beautiful 23 year old figured rosewood and all its colors, the gorgeous inlay on the beveled African ebony fingerboard, the So smooth Gotoh machine heads with ivoroid buttons, the figured armrest………
So how does it sound? It’s sound has changed more than any guitar I have had. I have now changed the strings for D’Addario Composites, High Tension, Lightly polished. These give a bright tone, but with the sweet tone of the guitar, not over-bright. The sound just gets sweeter and sweeter, beautiful liquid trebles and a base that resonates on and on. It is such an easy guitar to play. I know you are not too fond of Spanish guitars, but my Manuel Contreras Double Top Cedar is not difficult to play, but this is so much easier. Also it is great to have 2 totally different toned superb guitars – the Contreras with its brooding Spanish tones, and the new guitar with such pure tones across the whole fingerboard – if I had to say which music it favoured, I would say South American, as it responds so quickly and brightly to the rhythms.

You should be so proud of having produced these beautiful instruments for their owners to strive to make music beautiful enough to match the instruments.

Everyone still remarks on the finish of the rosewood guitar that I bought from you in 2004, but these instruments are in a different league when it comes to the sound they produce (also  the finish is better, even though it was of such a high standard before).
Very many thanks
Kind Regards
Peter Crane FCA, UK,  Feb 2008

Canadian flagHi Renato,
Just thought I would write and say a big thank you for my beautiful guitar. I have had it for a few weeks now and thought I would play it a lot before I made any comments.
It is not only great to look at, it sounds wonderful and every day it sound better! Please thank your builders on my behalf for a great guitar. I love the warm sound of the cedar top and its a great compliment to the spruce top I have. I took it into my teacher and she loves it too, and she is very hard to please. Thanks again for a wonderful instrument, it is everything you promised.
Paul Blakeley, Canada, Feb 2008

ItalyDear Renato
The baby is here!! She's as beautiful and elegant like a Lady at a reception. The sound is beautiful and deep like  a sky with a million stars and at every note I can smell Spring in the air and an overwhelming sensation to be holding on to someone whispering sweet things in your ears...She's FANTASTIC. Thank you dar friend. I owe you for life. Love
Rosita, Italy, Feb. 2008

USRenato,
I  wanted you to know I tuned up the Macassar Ebony last night and played for hours. Intonation is very good, playability is great and tone is outstanding ! I have to say this guitar has more sustain than any classical I have in my stable.  I am truly pleased.
Michael, USA Feb. 2008

USDear Renato,
     I visit your website frequently.  I just cant keep my  eyes off of your guitars.  If I were a millionaire, I would be a Belluci guitar collector.  I bought your 1st built flamenco guitar.  The tonal qualities are superb and just keep getting better.  Everybody that sees it and hears it just stand there in awe.  I cant help but laugh.  It just tickles me.  I always recommend your website.  The absolute best around and I think I have seen them all.  You are a genius.
     Pete Delozier from Ca USA, Feb. 2008
USRenato,
I received the guitar in good order this past Tuesday.  I love the appearance and above all, the sound is wonderful!   I am very pleased with the intonation... it is perfect.  For me that is the key to a good instrument so the notes are never off.  Believe it or not many guitars do not have perfect intonation especially acoustic  and classical.  The sound is robust, balanced and warm.  I'm sure it will sound better and better. With the perfect intonation, the sound is true.  This is what I hoped that you would achieve and you were able to do it.  Bravo.  This guitar is a concert guitar. The overall package of sound and appearance  is  very appealing. The playability is also very good.    I have experience with guitars, knowledge of woods and a good ear for sound.  Some people are not that discerning about things and they have more disposable resources to play with.   Thank you again.
Michael, USA, Feb. 2008

USHi Renato, 
     I received the guitar and it is a beautiful work of art.  Thank you for the great job and I will spread you name. 
James Weaver, USA, Feb. 2008

HollandHi Renato,
My guitarra flamenca has arrived in good condition! Great package! What a beautiful guitar this is! As I hoped, it is a real Flamenca. Thinner body, very low action, powerful, also the strings above the top have good distance. That is a must for the flamenco player for easy playing the "Golpe". I 
do play classical and flamenco-guitar. She weighs like a feather which is good as I play often on the classical flamenco way: the guitar rests on my right thigh, sitting straight on a chair.
The sound is already developing the right way. What a difference just overnight! This guitar is one of a kind and has no equal in Europe.  I will also post this guitar also on my website.
Renato, I can say that this year 2008 has started good for me. Please also send my compliments to your master-luthiers. I've experienced everything as very pleasant and unique. My claim is always that there are much more good people in the world than bad ones. 
Sincerely

ukDear Renato, my guitar has arrived safely and is now adjusting to the climatic shock of a British winter. I have carefully read your advice and will take great care of her.
It looks so beautiful and I have spent a lot of time just looking at the result your craftsmen have achieved. I have examined it in detail and it is perfect.I first saw the photographs that you posted on the website on the 23rd of November and hoped it was to be mine. The Thai Burl violin tailpiece and bridge was an inspiration and also such a nice surprise.
Many thanks to you and please tell your craftsmen that their work is greatly appreciated,
My best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year,
Kind Regards

SwedenDear Renato, 
Last Friday I visited my good friend the HeadMaster and the guitarist of the Community Music school in Stockholm showing my brand new Belluci guitar. 
Result:
My impression from the Bellucci guitar has been confirmed by someone that I trust someone who is educated on classic guitar and has owned different guitars  Ramirez etc and  who is a very skilled player.

We compared Bellucci with the guitar he is playing at present a Manuel Rodriguez class A signed by MR made in Spain. That particular guitar would retail for more then 6.000 dollars in Sweden. 

My lady showed herself on the best side. She is brilliant, the design is excellent the wood work is impressing and well carried out. The sound is absolutley outstanding!
Sincerely

WHAT A BEAUTY !!!
HOW COMFORTABLE !!!
WHAT A SOUND!!! 
Eternally grateful 
Juan Pablo Celis, Antofagasta, Chile

Dear Renato,
Just wanted to let you know that she has arrived safely. Thank you for the documentation provided with the guitar, very helpful ! The description of her sound on your website was very accurate and is incredible, especially for a cutaway. I will definitely buy another guitar sometime next year or as soon as my budget permits. Now I have to get to her…irresistible !
Best regards, Jens, Japan

USDear Mr. Bellucci, 
Thank you again for your prompt attention to my purchase of the Lepacho/Spruce Guitar, truly a work of art. Please relay my warmest congratulations to your Master Luthers for such a fine example of their talents. 
I would like to mention that as a youth my father taught me to appreciate good tools and the artistry required to create beauty through training, care and pride in producing top quality products from fine woods. The guitar that arrived today brought back memories of those days in my father's shop. The time may never come when I can shake your hand in thanks for your adding to my enjoyment of life and music but you have made a friend.
Many Thanks,
Warren - Great Falls, Montana, USA

USDear Renato,
I had to ride home for lunch to take care of some business and to my surprise the Red babe had just arrived. My wife and I opened her up and were stunned by her character and beauty. Thank you so very much we shall cherish her all of our lives. The workmanship is impeccable, a true work of art. I am stunned at the beauty of the cedar top. The grain is so strait and tight. I put some new strings on her and tuned her up. What a glorious sound that emanates from this red beauty. My wife describes it this way : like a heavenly harp, clear and distinct. I feel like I've won the lottery, a true one of a kind instrument. I will do all I can to get a Brazillian rosewood next year. Thank you so much brother Renato, you are true a one of a kind friend.

SwitzerlandCarissimo Renato, 
I received the baby today ! My levels of anxiety dropped when I saw how well protected she was prepared for travel.. When I lifted the lid of the case, I realized that my expectations had been surpassed greatly; the pictures on the website are very beautiful but she's so much more beautiful and refined  in person. Great finish and attention to detail !
After the initial emotions begun to dissipate, I slowly tuned her and realized that the sound is directly proportional to the beauty. I NEVER heard so deep sounding basses (Brazilian rosewood stays up to the player's expectations) ; The trebles have a great tone and I know that with a little playing they will open up just beautiful... I like the neck because it is slim and makes playing a lot easier. The radius makes everything a lot more pleasurable for the left hand.
My compliments and a big HUG

USCiao Renato,
I just want to let you know that my cutaway is coming of age. The tone is fantastic.
Moreover, your prediction that the tone quality would take a giant leap after 6 months or so is definately in effect. Anyway, I hope you are doing well. I still visit your website to see what's new. It is nice that you are commited to update your site as needed.
take care, and thanks for selling me a great Guitar,

Antonio Tudisco, CA, USA, September 2007

USDear Renato,
My new Belluci arrived quickly (the delivery was monitored and I was notified each portion of the journey) and in perfect condition. The wonderful aroma of spruce filled the room upon opening the case. Both my wife and son commented on the construction and the graceful appearance of this instrument. I also appreciated the subtle design enhancements like the rosette pattern being added to the bridge. The "action" of the neck truly causes less strain on the left hand for me. Very helpful for we "older students" who are not always as flexible as we might like to be. How thoughtful of you to include the Care of the Instrument document. 
Joseph Krygier , Buffalo New York USA, August 2007

Chinese flagMr. Bellucci
The sound of my Bellucci guitar has really changed a lot this past year.  Having never had a custom guitar before, I had my doubts in the beginning that the sound would change yet it has, and for the better. As a classical guitarist progresses in their playing the quality and production of sound becomes important and appartent.  There are some pieces of music that if played on a good sounding guitar can highen awarness, can stir emotion.   A point where guitar and player begin to communicate.  Mr. Bellucci's guitars are among those that have this quality of sound.  Just remeber, with any custom made guitar, it's a growing process in that the guitar needs time to change (dry, bend, etc...).  When you buy one I hope your experience will be as rewarding as mines.
Thanks again!
