Dear Renato !

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

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!!!

Dear 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,

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

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 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

Dear Renato

I can not express my appreciation for the beautiful instrument your Luthier has made. It is absolutely exquisite. It was all I hope for and more. Having a knowledge that guitars tonally improve with age I know with time the sound will even be better, but I don't know how it could sound any better than it does now.  The vibrato is lush, nuance comes forth so easily, the color range is wide and this all combines with an ease of playing that is unsurpassed at this price. Very Nice!  It is everything that a Classical guitar should be, light, clear but sweet, robust in the low end, loud, easy to handle, even and balanced between registers, good sustain, singing trebles, easy to play and a joy to express on. In the  U.S. this guitar would have cost me in the 7 to 10 thousand dollar range. It is absolutely gorgeous. Words can not express my appreciation. I will cherish this gift always. Please express my thanks to your luthier. He is a great builder. Thank you my friend.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Renato

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.  
Sincerely

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,
Kind Regards

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!
