The aesthetics are superb, as is the modernist-inspired rosette, and the craftsmanship is perfectly done. In terms of sound, this Concert model combines the performance of modern instruments: powerful, solid sound, raised fingerboard... with the charm of traditionally built instruments: woody and silky tone, vibrant and smooth notes. .... This is what the luthier himself says: « My Concert model is the result of studying and drawing inspiration from the work of many different luthiers. It is my attempt to reconcile the allure of late nineteenth century Spanish instruments with the higher string tension, body, brilliance and projection of a modern guitar. These guitars have an large dynamic range, variety of timbres, clarity and balance. »
