Altamira is a well-established brand that has built up a solid
reputation in recent years thanks to great instruments of consistent
quality at excellent value for money. Altamira guitars are made by a
highly trained and experienced team of luthiers under the direction of
the owner and luthier Hanson Yao, who was an apprentice at the famous
Rodriguez workshop in Spain.
This excellent replica is a tribute to the great master of Spanish
guitar building, Antonio de Torres. The guitar on which this beautiful
instrument is based is a guitar from 1888, the same year that Antonio de
Torres built Francisco Tárregas guitar. Therefore this model is built
with a traditional fan strut. The accurate inlay work gives this special
instrument a noble and refined appearance. The back is made of three
pieces, Indian rosewood on the edges and a central piece of Madagascar
rosewood
The sound of this guitar as well as its smooth and easy playability
is very reminiscent of the sensations you get from a vintage guitar. The
trebles sound remarkably clear with authentic characteristics and an
inspiring spectrum of timbres. The basses sound deep with a powerful
tone and a very Spanish sound color. It is therefore an excellent
instrument, both in its construction and sound quality, which is offered
at a very reasonable price.
