Lorenzo Frignani – 2022 Cedar No. 252

Overview

Lorenzo Frignani’s general interest in luthiery began at the end of the 1970s. His professional experience started in 1986, and since then, he has received numerous prizes nationally and internationally. He has also won several lute-making competitions (Bagnacavallo and Baveno) in Italy and has been a member of various national and international juries (Baveno, Pisogne, Sesto Fiorentino) in Italy. He is a consultant for several foundations, associations, and museums of musical character and was also an artistic consultant of the Comune of Pieve di Cento (Bologna) for all activities relating to stringed instruments (exhibitions, conventions, courses, concerts, etc.). Lorenzo Frignani is President of the A.L.I Professionisti (Professional Italian Association of Luthiery). His primary activities are the production and restoration of fretted and bow instruments. He is the publisher, and he founded the LF Editions in 2007 and has written and edited various catalogs as well as several publications on the themes of classical luthiery and antique plucked instruments. He is also a renowned collector and expert. He lives and works in Modena (Italy).

This is a truly unique instrument by a master luthier, Lorenzo Frignani. The carefully chosen cedar soundboard has excellent acoustic properties and displays appealing looks to the guitar. Moreover, combined with the Ziricote back and sides, this guitar is a dream to look at, not to forget the well-executed ornamentations and decorations. Acoustically this instrument number 252 is simply beautiful. Due to its F main resonance, the deep and haunting basses add a rich color to the overall voicing of the instrument. Meanwhile, the rich trebles have a very artistic quality and respond amazingly to the left-hand vibrato. This instrument is a true piece of art that will bring joy to its player.

While this one is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
