Jialan Chen - 2023 Impressionism
Overview
Overview
Jialan Chen, a distinguished luthier since 2013, initially specialized in crafting Torres style guitars, before expanding his repertoire in 2018 with the Bouchet model and his innovative "Impressionism model." His profound understanding of music and guitar performance art is reflected in the high-level sound aesthetics of his creations. His career took a significant leap forward in 2014 when he met and learned from renowned guitarmakers Andrea Tacchi and Paolo Coriani in Italy, gaining invaluable insights and skills. This experience, coupled with his study and documentation of historical guitars in Europe, has profoundly enriched his craftsmanship. Renowned for their sophisticated materials, exceptional sound quality, and elegant design, Jialan's guitars are highly esteemed worldwide, with notable musicians like Swedish guitarist Per-Olov Kindgren favoring his Bouchet model since 2018.
The "Impressionist" model by Jialan Chen stands as a testament to the highest standards of guitar craftsmanship, embodying meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistry. This instrument reflects the thoughtful consideration that has gone into every aspect of its creation. Jialan Chen's commitment to excellence is evident in the execution of the guitar's tiny details, each contributing to its overall aesthetic and sonic appeal. The guitar features a spruce soundboard, renowned for its clear, articulate sound, and is reinforced with five fan bracings, a design choice that enhances the guitar's resonance and tonal stability. Further adding to its allure, the back and sides are crafted from strikingly flamed maple, not only contributing to the guitar's visual beauty but also enhancing its tonal characteristics, particularly the velvety trebles.
The balance of this guitar is one of its most striking features, providing enough power to project sound in any concert hall setting. This balance ensures that each note is articulated with clarity and depth, making the guitar suitable for a wide range of musical styles and expressions. The superb playability of the "Impressionist" model is another highlight, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned performers and aspiring musicians. The combination of its well-balanced tone, powerful projection, and ease of playability makes this guitar a highly desirable instrument.

Classical Guitars
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 -
