Just received my beautiful guitar! Plays so nice. What an incredible
instrument! Thanks again Renato! I wanted to
quickly shoot you an email to tell you how happy I am with this
masterpiece!!
I'm a few months in and I wanted to send you a note and tell you how much I have enjoyed Mangore thus far.
This
type is an absolute gold mine. I have really tried to pay attention to
your pages on practice. With pieces I am learning, I am trying to take
sections that are troublesome and concentrate on those -- and make small
exercises out of them.
I recently finalized a
move, so I wasn't able to play as much during the months of May and
June. But now that I am settled, I am starting to get back into my
routine.
Some of the pieces I am working on
include Romance, Lagrima, Endless Love, Close To You, For All We Know,
and If. I am also slowly making my way through Recuerdos (I have always
wanted to sharpen my tremolo technique) and Cavatina -- both of these
are quite formidable pieces, so I am taking them slowly.
Also,
I have now started to pay more attention to string squeaks and
minimizing them -- which is something I definitely was not as cognizant
of.
All in all, I have found so many riches in
terms of the tips, technique, advice, pieces, and videos -- this site is
truly one of a kind. And you are personally a huge inspiration!
Hope all is well....
All the best,
Tim
P.S. Glad to see you doing some more live streams of late....

Hola Maestro,
I just want to let you know la guitarra arrived in great condition via DHL today. Please pass my appreciation to the great team of Mangore luthiers and Chiara. She sounded so nice the household danced to the tune of Mi Favorita! Thank you for sending us a great joy to start our Memorial,
Everything is perfect! I have just played on it for the last 2 hours.....And I have fallen in love. It's really mega beautiful to look at, to touch and to play with. Amplified via my power mixer, it also sounds fantastic. I still have to get used to everything new, but it's so much fun to play it.
This is an absolute masterpiece, unique and my desires are fulfilled.
You have done a great job again! Thank you very much.
Hugs
Steph

Mi lasci esprimere gratitudine per le sue splendide lezioni. Sto seguendo ora Requerdo del la Alhambra che ho memorizzato per tutta la parte in la min. Con i consigli sulle lezioni di Carlevaro, la fijacion, la leva e il perno mi si è aperto il mondo e ho potuto cambiare diteggiatura anche in brani che facevo prima e per "Requerdo" non potevo credere di poterlo realizzare (anche se come bozza e ancora molto lento) ma con suoni ...che si sentono tutti!! Grazie. Grazie!!!! Roberto Galli

My first Bellucci masterpiece has arrived at my home in Switzerland (Basel). A beautiful masterpiece. It lies fantastically in the hands, buttery soft to play. Beautiful treatment and fenomenal in tone. Simply "wow" and I am proud to own a Bellucci guitar.
The second masterpiece is already on its way to me in Switzerland.

Dear Renato,
Thank you for the wonderful guitar and also for sending me the link. The video, your message and all the details you put together are most thoughtful and warm. Vanessa, Amelia, and I read through it with a big smile on our faces and we will share your beautiful work with our family and friends in Hong Kong. Vanessa's uncle Stanley, who owns a Bellucci guitar, is an avid guitarist and he can't wait to come to play the guitar tomorrow. He is the one who introduced me to your beautiful creations.
Best regards,
Michael

Dear Renato, I believe it was in February of this year while on a walk with my dearest friend that I mentioned to him that he'd probably think I was crazy, because I was about to order three more of your wonderful guitars. "As long as you can afford them," he said, "if it's what makes you happy, then you should do it." Of course he was right. As you know, at that time I already owned nine Bellucci guitars,
playing a different one every day. Each is a beautiful creation, made with wonderful craftsmanship and artistry. Each is a pleasure to play, with differences in tone from one to another. My three new additions, a padauk, a blackwood, and a zebrawood, are equally fabulous. How could they be better than those I already own? When I made the purchase way back in February, I was unaware that we were about to be challenged by a pandemic which would keep us quarantined for many months (and even now). I know that that must have made your building task more difficult, but for me awaiting the results and communicating with you, seeing photos of the progress for each instrument, added excitement to an otherwise difficult year. My newest Belluccis are rich in tone and elegant in appearance. I own eight other "non-Bellucci" guitars, each one special to me, each one achieving a purpose to my playing, each one aesthetically beautiful, but my Bellucci guitars are far and away my favorites. To anyone who asks me which Bellucci is my favorite, I provide the same answer: the one I am playing today. Let us look forward to a better, a healthier 2021, and, God willing, to my thirteenth Bellucci addition! Thank you for all. When my wife and have some moments (After all it takes time to assemble twelve guitars.), I will send you a photo of myself and my Bellucci guitars. But we'll need considerable room and a wide-angled lens this time! With Affection, Dan

Thank you very much Maestro Bellucci, Nice Job ! I love the guitar !
Years ago (2012), I bought one of your guitars. It continues to be my “go to” guitar. It continues to sound sweet with good balance and sustain. My teacher loves it too. I just wanted to let you know it is being played and is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Renato,
My 2nd beauty is another artful masterpiece of construction, voice and detailed craftsmanship. Thank you and your skilled artisans.The shorter scale and radius fingerboard are great for my small, very arthritic, hand. I am now getting familiar with practice again and hope to gain some facility. The tuner is a great addition, and now I have 2 of your great guitars to show to potential buyers.It's a privilege to be your ambassador in the states and to introduce the great value and beauty you offer to others. Its exceptionally pleasing to me that we met in 2007 when I received the jaw-dropping beautiful signature concert guitar... my best birthday month present ever! Finally I have discovered how to apply Gel nails I can, for the first time ever, wind up with playable nails. I look forward to re-learning my Bach Prelude to the Cello Suite in D, and sending you a clip with both instruments featured. The great bass voice of these beauties give a sonorous experience that is thrilling. Thank you always with hugs... your friend and ambassador... Richard

Christmas greetings:
I bought my Belucci guitar (serial # 502) in 2008. Last night for our Christmas Eve candlelight service, I played a medley of 3 songs:
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O Little Town of Bethlehem
O Come, All Ye Faithful
It was not as good as you could have done, for sure!
The guitar has aged to a sweetness that is hard to believe. It was probably the best I have ever sounded.
Blessings to you and your family,
Dan Tanner

Dear Renato
Wanted to take a moment to give you my sincerest thanks for a beautiful guitar. I’ve only had it in my hands for a few hours but already I know I have a new friend that will travel with me for the rest of my life.
I’m really enjoying my new guitar , the sounds resonate. I never knew a nylon string could sound so rich in tone . It’s a joy to play and rarely leaves my side
May you, your family and your team continue to find peace and prosperity all the days of your lives.

Hello my name is Erik J Heinrich and I am the proud new owner of 'Gloria', a Bellucci Crown Custom Limited Edition S.D.G. Signature Series Concert Classical Guitar.can honestly say that she is one of the finest Bellucci Guitars ever built by the Bellucci team of Luthiers.
I can attest to this very fact because Gloria is absolutely beautiful and she sounds even more beautiful than she appears to be and she's most comfortable to play as well. The workmanship that went into building this guitar is absolutely astounding and 'Gloria' is impeccable to say the least. I am very grateful for Bellucci Guitars Master Luthier Domingo and his team of Luthiers who put their best efforts forward along with their commitment and dedication, their relentless energy and their loving care that brought 'Gloria' into existence.
As I was deeply involved in the process of dreaming up an original theme for 'Gloria' We spent a considerable amount of time in preperation to create what we believed would be the perfect combination of inovative custom features in order to produce a truly superior High Performance Concert Classical Guitar. It was all well worth it because every single detail was accomplished according to my expectations. For this I am very grateful and I consider it to be an honor to own such a magnificent Bellucci Guitar. She's everything I had hoped for in a Custom Built Guitar made specifically for my liking and personality. You could spend 10 thousand or even 20 thousand on a Concert Classical Guitar without getting half the custom features that Bellucci Guitars have to offer for the same amount or less. I have searched far and wide to no avail and at first I could not find a Luthier who could deliver what I wanted in my Dream Guitar. I have done extensive research and study to find a Luthier who could offer a wide variety of Tone-woods and Superior Top woods along with innovative custom features such as an elevated fingerboard, Contreras Style Double Top with Traditional Lattice Bracing, Venetian cutaway and personalized custom inlays, even Diamonds set in 18k gold settings and installed as Position markers along the top edge of the fingerboard, to no avail until I found Bellucci Guitars, one of the only Guitar Builders in existence who can offer the widest selection of these custom options at any price. You can't go wrong with a Bellucci Custom built Concert Classical Guitar and they build Steel String Acoustic guitars as well that are equally Magnificent! If you want to purchase a superior Guitar at any price you can't afford to pass up a Bellucci Masterpiece Guitar built by some of the best Luthiers in the entire World! By the way Bellucci Customer Service is among the Finest there is. I received 'Gloria' here in New York City, New York from Asuncion, Paraquay in just 9 days after being Postmarked at Asuncion, Paraguay. Thanks again Renato Bellucci, Domingo the Master Luthier & the entire staff at Bellucci Guitars
