Raffaele Dantone - 2024 No. 7
Overview
Overview
Raffaele Dantone, born in Bolzano in 1993, resides in the picturesque Fassa Valley in the Dolomites. Surrounded by abundant forests, he developed a passion for woodworking early on. After several years as a wood carpenter, a transformative workshop with renowned guitarmaker Mirko Borghino ignited his interest in crafting classical guitars. This pivotal experience led him to enroll in the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano. Post-graduation, Raffaele honed his skills under the mentorship of master luthier Daniele Marrabello, who himself an accomplished and well-known luthier, focusing on construction techniques, sound quality, and meticulous details. Today, he operates his own workshop in the Dolomites, where he continues to create exquisite instruments.
We are delighted to showcase the work of Raffaele, a young and immensely talented guitar maker whose latest creation, guitar no. 7, exemplifies his exceptional woodworking skills. This brand-new instrument is visually striking, demonstrating a refined craftsmanship that is truly second to none. Raffaele has taken inspiration from the traditional fan bracings of Antonio de Torres but has enhanced the design by incorporating thicker sides. This modification not only adds to the structural integrity of the guitar but also significantly improves its projection. The guitar's acoustics are remarkable, with crystal clear trebles that sing melodiously under the player's touch, complemented by deep basses resonating at an F# main frequency, which provides a robust foundation to the overall sound. This guitar is a testament to Raffaele's skill and potential, honed under the mentorship of the renowned luthier, Danielle Marrabello, making it a truly beautiful instrument in every aspect.

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 -
