The sound, besides its enormous volume, is dense with beautiful harmonic content in each note. It's a balanced sound, with pleasant separation between the notes, creating a broad warmth of tonal tones.
NOTES
This new guitar model joins the line of " grand concert " instruments, which feature the finest materials and most sophisticated designs. This guitar has a double-top made of Nomex, designed under the supervision of Gernot Wagner, one of the founders of the double-top school.
The guitar's internal structure closely follows Wagner's design, not only in the soundbox but also in the construction of the sides (the inner layer is cypress), a technique designed to enhance the instrument's volume and power. This construction technique allows the soundboard to vibrate more strongly. The double inner cypress sides further increase the instrument's power and impart a warmer sound due to the use of this wood.
Comfortable and elegant neck shape for the comfort of great guitarists.
Due to the complexity of this type of construction, we have a very limited annual series of this type of guitar.
Exceptional from the first note. Its great power, projection and infinite sustain is just a prelude to its full capacity.
