Fernando Mazza - 2024 Doubletop

Fernando Mazza - 2024 Doubletop

Overview

Fernando Mazza is a successful guitar maker born in Argentina. After a career as a guitarist, he dedicated himself to classical guitar making and opened his workshop in Arezzo, Italy. Fernando Mazza’s guitars are easily recognized by their meticulous construction and beautiful rosette, reminiscent of the arches of the famous Palazzo Ducale in Venice. He builds guitars in the Australian lattice tradition, combining extremely stiff laminated backs and sides with a highly responsive lattice top. In addition, Fernando Mazza also builds a Nomex double top model with lattice bracing that offers even more projection and spontaneity.

Fernando Mazza's latest creation is a double-top model guitar that represents a blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary innovations. At the heart of this instrument is a balsa core soundboard paired with lattice bracing, designed to enhance the guitar's resonance and tonal clarity. The choice of Santos Rosewood for the back and sides not only contributes to its stunning appearance but also to its sonorous quality. A notable innovation is the incorporation of a Nomex layer in the back, which reduces weight while increasing resonance, offering a more vibrant and rich sound. This guitar also introduces modern elements such as an additional sound port on the side with a custom-designed cover and an armrest, ensuring both enhanced sound projection and player comfort. The result is a guitar with spacious sound, exceptional power, and remarkable projection, all while maintaining easy playability and a balanced, rounded tone that boosts the player's confidence in various playing contexts.

What sets this guitar apart is its ability to give players meticulous control over dynamics and timbre, facilitating a level of expressiveness that is both rare and sought after. This characteristic imbues the instrument with a natural charisma, a quality that has attracted exceptional players like Andrea Caballero and Valeria Galimova, among others, to choose Fernando Mazza's guitars for their performances. The fusion of innovative features with the guitar's dynamic and expressive sound palette explains the growing popularity of Mazza's instruments among discerning musicians. This guitar not only embodies the evolution of guitar making but also offers a unique voice and playing experience that caters to the artistic and technical demands of today's classical guitarists.

  • 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.
