About the luthier
Donatella Salvato comes from a family of skilled wood carvers and inlayers. She has a diploma in Graphic Arts and studied ‘cello at the Conservatory of Padua. She worked for 25 years as a cabinet maker, which allowed her to broaden her skills in all aspects of woodworking. Donatella Salvato is inspired by the great luthiers of the past, re-elaborating their designs according to her instincts and the specific current sound requirements. By studying and comparing various procedures and construction techniques, she has developed her own designs. She carries out all her work in her workshop, where every component is thoroughly tested, also using scientific instruments. She only uses top-quality, naturally seasoned woods and the ‘vacuum-gluing’ process to reduce stress on the soundboards. Donatella Salvato makes her own rosettes and banding and only uses French polish. Particular attention is paid to the beauty of sound, sustain, and the immediacy and sensitivity of the response as well as the playing comfort of the instrument. In 2021 at the “XII Concorso internazionale de Liuteria, Pisogne, Italy (BS)” she won both a gold and a silver medal.

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 -
