About the luthier
Angelo Vailati belongs to the younger generation of highly qualified Italian luthiers, who have already established themselves internationally and are among the most outstanding representatives of the Italian guitar building scene. After learning from the best and acquiring knowledge under the guidance of Enrico Bottelli, José Luis Romanillos, and Daniele Chiesa, Angelo opened his own workshop in Bologna, Italy. His guitars are strongly inspired by the great masters of the guitar-building tradition. The craftsmanship is precise, delicate and allows him to express his great talent in building tasteful guitars.About the guitar
This pre-loved guitar, built in 2016 by the great Angelo Vailati, has matured beautifully and has been professionally played over the years, giving it a refined, well-developed voice. The spruce soundboard is reinforced with five fan bracings and a bridge plate, following a traditional concert guitar construction. Sonically, the guitar shines with clear, sweet, and singing trebles—a true hallmark of Vailati’s craftsmanship. It stands as a fine example of a high-level traditional concert guitar, just as one would expect from Angelo. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Vailati guitar at a very attractive price, without having to endure the usual long waiting time.Condition
As a pre-owned instrument, the guitar has been repolished by Angelo Vailati himself. A thin crack on the bass side of the lower bout has been professionally glued and reinforced from the inside using a very light and thin piece of fabric, also by Angelo. The repair is virtually invisible from the outside and does not affect the structural integrity or sound in any way.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.
