Renato,

You have helped me to realize something wondrous after only 40 minutes. I have learned to play a piece of music! You have done more for me in 40 minutes of instruction that a 10 week course ever did!

Paul

Renato,

You changed my life. With your masterpiece, I can see visions of myself actually playing music I'd always thought impossible. The custom masterpiece you sent me made me believe in believing again.

Thank you so much.

Dear Renato

My guitar arrived safely on 5/13. The guitar looks absolutely beautiful. I love the guitar case, too.
Thank you so much for making me happy.

Good morning , Maestro Bellucci!

Some  weeks  ago  I  received  my new guitar Indian Rosewood Cedar Top (#1267). This awesome guitar can follow all my creative ideas. She  has  so  looong  and  deeep  vibrato  , so rich basses! She is so comfortable for right and left hands!!

Now you can find photos and sound of this guitar on my web-site www.nemeraksenia.musicaneo.com

I performed Prelude at my old Cordoba. I played Some Galaxy and  Medieval Dance at my new Indian Rosewood.Its really huge difference!
I am looking forward to perform and record all my music with wonderful Bellucci guitar.

THANK YOU !!!

Dear Renato

I have had the guitar for a few weeks now. I wanted to play it extensively before I reported back to you.  Frankly, I am still stunned!  Not only by the guitar but by your caring and generous nature.
 
The guitar arrived without incident-not a scratch. The top is perfect, back and sides beautiful, the back is spectacular, the sound hole rosette is superb. The radiused neck and 640mm scale allow me to more easily play difficult passages. The 20 fret neck is grand. Takes a little getting used to but I like it.  Besides its beauty, I was pleasantly surprised by the tone. You would expect a Spruce top to be bright and edgy, but this guitar has a mysterious dark round sound that’ s especially noticeable in positions 7-10 in the basses and also in the treble and basses in the lower positions. . Must be the Ziricote(?)  The sound is mellow like a cedar top. Totally surprising and very desirable. What can I say?  I love it!
It always amazes me in a different way every time I take it out of the case.  When this guitar ages and “opens up” it will be amazing.
 
Thank  you very much for all of your efforts on my behalf.  I am retiring in 5 weeks and am looking forward to many countless hours with this beauty.
 
By the way how much do I owe you for the gig bag it shipped in?

Hi Renato

I am absolutely astounded at how beautiful she is and such a work of art.  She is unbelievably gorgeous, so I am so grateful for how perfect you have matched what I had in mind to a work of art.
 
I am absolutely thankful and happy with the way she looks.  THANK YOU!

3 hours ago, I went ahead and brought the pitch up to a whole step flat.  I'll probably wait at least 24 hours before I bring the tension all the way up to standard tuning.
 
So to my point and without disrespecting my other guitars, I have to say this is the absolutely the best classical guitar I have ever played in my entire life.  The tone and especially the sustain are simply phenomenal and she is only a few weeks old.  My original Cocobolo doesn't even sound this good and she is 7 years old.  And my flamed Cocobolo is beautiful but she will probably never get to that level of sound.  So that's why I had to mention with all due respect to my other guitars, because I simply cannot put into words how I appreciate this guitar so much.
 
I have had many moments in my life playing pieces and getting into the zone and really feeling passionate about the music and guitar I was playing.  But I have never actually come to the point of being so happy with a guitar.
 
I went through my preludes like Barrios's in Cm and Bach's Prelude 1 and his Cello Prelude 1 and quite a few other pieces, and I just cannot express how grateful I am for this guitar and how she sounds already.
 
I just cannot believe the tone and especially the sustain.  I can only imagine how she will sound in over time.
 
As you know, I pretty much say what I mean.  So I really never get too emotional about things and glorify them unless I really mean it.  But I mean these sentiments whole heartedly.  I finally have the guitar of my dreams at 45, which I never thought I would actually ever really find and have in my possession.
 
So thank you very much for such a wonderful guitar.
 
THANK YOU so much!

Hi Renato

The guitar arrived today. Bill is playing it now and the Sor studies sound great. It is a really beautiful instrument both in sound and looks. The Mother of Pearl is amazing on this guitar. We love it.
Thanks so much

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you that the beautiful lady arrived safely this afternoon.  The packaging was outstanding, and the case is amazing.  But the guitar left me speechless.
She is gorgeous!
I will tell you more about her later.  It is not polite to let a beautiful lady waiting.
Many, many thanks.
My biggest hug,

Many words about how I found your web site and why I chose her.
I discovered your site last Summer and have been returning to it monthly, fondly looking at all the guitars you had available.  At Christmas, I decided that I really wanted a better guitar than what I had and I looked around but decided that my heart was set on one of yours.   When I told my husband about what I wanted to do, he thought I should be happy with what I had; but, I pointed out that I really wanted to do this.  I dragged him in front of my computer and made him listen to you playing several of the ones that were available.  He has a very elaborate stereo system and he then connect my computer to the stereo and we listened through his big speakers.  Both of us liked the sound of Cocobolo best and I chose her.   My husband plays principle bassoon (a Heckel) in the Midland Symphony orchestra and played with Sharon Isbin several years ago when she performed live in Midland.  I, of course, was in the audience.  I also told my husband that you had studies with Yepes and Segovia and those three elements gave in confidence in what I was buying.  When my guitar arrived and he heard me begin to play it, he told me he understood why I wanted one of yours.
Bella, that what I am calling her until she tells me her name, was very much admired at my music lesson this past weekend. So was her case.  She inspired me to play daily, something that my busy work schedule does not always accommodate.  She is  wonderful and I am delighted with her.  Thank you so much!

I could wait no longer to sample the sound so I tuned her up and gave her a test drive. Did you know that the English word 'genius' is derived from the word 'genii'? You, dear sir, have a genii! Tickle your guitars and the genii sings!

This new guitar is nothing less than incredible!! I was already taken by it's looks, but it's sound quite honestly brought tears to my eyes. You are not just a guitar maker / craftsman. You a channeling something of Divinity through your craft. I mean that most sincerely.

I am very honored to know you, and I deem it a gift to have found you, and your incredible creations!

Thank you so much. :-*
