Andrea Tacchi - Coclea 2003 No. 279
Overview
Overview
Andrea Tacchi was born in Florence (Italy) in 1956 when the city was flourishing with artisan workshops and artists’ studios. This stimulating environment and meeting the South American guitar maker Ricardo Brané made him a luthier. He developed his craftmanship and artistic tastes in close contact with Robert Bouchet and Daniel Friederich during the 80s. Later, he kept learning from other important guitar makers, such as Ignacio Fleta, José Romanillos, and Robert Ruck, traveling in person to the United States, England, and Spain. Andrea Tacchi’s absolute mastery was generously and legitimately rewarded. He received early on in 1985 the first prize in the prestigious international guitar-making competition, the “Concours International des Facteurs de Guitare”, organized by Robert Vidal of Radio France. From there on, global recognition by guitarists and collectors led him to build a waiting list among the most impressive in guitar history. As a result, the number of legendary guitarists, prestigious professors, and young generation concerts who play Andrea Tacchi guitars. To name a few: Carlo Marchione, Carlotta Dalia, Antigoni Goni, Renata Arlotti, Filomena Moretti, Flavio Cucchi, Robert Gruca, Colin Davin, Minoru Inagaki, and Marcelo Kayath.
The 2003 Andrea Tacchi Coclea guitar embodies the pinnacle of modern luthiery, offering a playing experience that is both exceptional and immersive. Developed meticulously over twenty years, this instrument showcases a fully open sound that boasts remarkable dynamic capabilities, allowing musicians to explore a vast array of sounds and tones with ease. Its standout feature lies in its powerful and responsive nature, coupled with a broad sound-color range that enables expressive and nuanced performance. The guitar's tone is notably rich and mature, characterized by a warmth and romantic quality that is both singing and captivating. Despite its age, the guitar remains in very good condition, with only minor signs of use evident on the lacquer-finished Indian rosewood back and sides and the French-polished cedar soundboard, which has been carefully redone to maintain its pristine appearance. This blend of exceptional sound quality, responsive playability, and aesthetic integrity, despite minor playing wear, makes the Andrea Tacchi Coclea guitar a cherished instrument for any serious guitarist.

Classical Guitar
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
