More details about the guitar
Enrico Bottelli was born in Milan, Italy, in 1961 and is one of Europe’s most respected and renowned luthiers. He gained his first experience in guitar building under the guidance of master luthier Carlo Raspagni in 1981 and began building classical guitars as a professional luthier in 1988. However, he not only makes excellent instruments, which are appreciated by professional musicians and collectors worldwide for their elegant, very appealing musical attributes, refined beauty, and precise craftsmanship. He also passes on his knowledge and experience to some very talented luthiers by training them.
Instrument number 20 marks an early point in Enrico’s distinguished career as a guitar maker, showcasing his profound understanding of classical guitar craftsmanship. Constructed with a cedar soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar exemplifies the exceptional clarity that Enrico’s instruments are renowned for, despite the typical warmth associated with cedar. Now 36 years old, the guitar remains in good condition. It bears several thin, stable cracks on the soundboard and exhibits crackling in the polyurethane finish, a common occurrence with age. These marks of time do not detract from the instrument’s performance but instead add character to a guitar that has matured beautifully over the decades.

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.

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 -
