Lorenzo Frignani - 2024 No. 266 Spruce

Overview

Lorenzo Frignani’s passion for luthiery first ignited at the end of the 1970s. He began his professional journey in 1986 and has since garnered numerous accolades both domestically and internationally, winning several lute-making competitions in Italy, such as those held in Bagnacavallo and Baveno. He has also served as a member of juries for competitions in Baveno, Pisogne, and Sesto Fiorentino. Frignani is a consultant for several foundations, associations, and museums dedicated to music and even an artistic consultant for the Comune of Pieve di Cento in Bologna for events related to stringed instruments, including exhibitions, conventions, courses, and concerts. He is currently the President of the A.L.I Professionisti, the Professional Italian Association of Luthiery. His expertise lies in the creation and restoration of fretted and bow instruments. In 2007, he founded LF Editions and published various catalogs and articles on classical luthiery and antique plucked instruments. As a renowned collector and expert, he resides and works in Modena, Italy.

This guitar is a remarkable showcase of Lorenzo Frignani’s mastery in blending tradition and innovation. The spruce soundboard, aged with the same techniques used for bowed instruments, adds a visual warmth and plays a crucial role in its tonal complexity. Inspired by David Rubio’s iconic sound ideals and plantilla, Frignani incorporates an “x-bracing” design that nods to Rubio's legacy while enhancing the guitar's resonance and projection. The result is an instrument with a unique voice, offering great separation while maintaining a round, warm tone. Each register shines with distinct colors, and its responsiveness to articulation opens endless possibilities for the performer. This guitar stands as a testament to Frignani’s skill and deep understanding of acoustic excellence.

While this guitar 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.
