This beautiful chamber concert classical guitar is entirely hand built in an artisan workshop headed by Chinese luthier Niu Lihua, who studied his craft under international award winning master luthier Yulong Guo.
The construction of this instrument is a fusion of classical Spanish method lutherie and modern era features such as the lattice bracing employed in the building of the solid spruce sound board, married to a back and sides built in a traditional Spanish method from Solid Indian rosewwod.
The neck, which is joined to the body using a traditional Spanish slipper foot and heel, is mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard and spine truss, the nut width is 52mm and the scale length is 650mm. The bridge, as is now common on many high end classical guitars, has double holes for ease of stringing and improved string 'break angle' over the saddle. All in all an impressive looking instrument with an unbeatable cost to performance ratio, being eminently suitable for both concert and smaller auditorium performances.
Neither the photos in the image gallery, or the video below, can fully do justice to this fabulous instrument. Until it is viewed in person, held and played, only then can it be appreciated for its incredible level of craftsmanship and performance. Which is why the 'collection in person' buying option is actively encouraged so that buyers can closely inspect and trial instruments before fully commiting to purchase. If any instrument doesn't fully meet expectations then an instant refund will be given.
