This guitar is a very nice copy, because the builder has really thought about how to make baroque guitars available for the modern guitarrist. This guitar can be tuned as a normal guitar or in baroque tuning. The professional construction give this guitar a unique sound.
The sound is really surprising – transparent and light. Very clear and absolutely charming. The guitar also has good sustain and captivates with fine and sweet tones. The spruce top gives a nice touch to the sound.
It is an absolute pleasure to play this fine instrument and let it take you to faraway places and times gone by.
