Dear
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
Dear
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,
Allen, June 15 2009 , RI,

Hello
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
Greeting
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.

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.

DHL
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!

Hello
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.

Dear
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
Renato,
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.

Caro
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

Dear
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,

Mr.
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.

Dear
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!

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.

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,

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

Hi
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.

Evening Maestro:
I always craved for an instrument
that would allow me to work on finding the most beautiful notes...my Bellucci
concert classical (serial #645) allows me to express myself to the maximum
without worrying about anything else... my fingers flying from one
fret to the next ...
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

Buonasera
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.

Renato,
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.

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!.

Hi
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,
Chris W., January 2, 2009, USA

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!!!!

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,

Hello
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.

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,

Renato,
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.

Hi
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,

Hi

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 !!!

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.

Dear
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

I received my new Brazilian guitar

Hi
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.

Renato,
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.

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,

Hello
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.

Dear
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 !

Dear
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.

Hola
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

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
Daer
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
Martin, Austria, May 6, 2008
Renato:
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

Renato,
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,

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,

Renato:
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

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!

She's very well built!!! A great
work of the highest level, and a stunning perfection in the finishing
details. She is so well calibrated and the measures are so perfect that
she ranks with the BEST !!
The neck is very well designed,
very sophisticated work. It allows for great movement during fast scales,
glissandos, ties, etc. My most sincere congratulations to you and to
the builders. Knowledgeable !!
A big hug, and thanks once again.

Hi
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,

I just wanted to let you know my

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

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
Renato,
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
Hi
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
Dear
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

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,

Dear
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

Hi
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.

The baby is here!! She's as beautiful

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

Renato,
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
Dear
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
Renato,
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
Hi
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
Hi
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.

Dear
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,

Dear
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!

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 !

Dear
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,

Dear
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.

Carissimo
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

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,

Dear
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
Mr.
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!
