Intentional Acoustic Design
I design and build acoustic guitars as complete resonant systems, shaping how their parts interact. From structure to final tuning, each instrument’s behaviour is defined, measured and adjusted so it responds clearly and consistently under the hands.
An Orchestra model in its final voice.
Coherence you can feel
The focus is on how the whole instrument behaves under the hands:
- how it responds to different levels of touch
- how acoustic energy is distributed across the registers
- how notes sustain, articulate and interact
This approach positions each instrument within a precise behavioural space to provide the player with a reliable and expressive musical tool.
The Collection
Each model represents a different way the instrument responds and behaves under the hands.
Orchestra
A steel-string designed for clarity and dynamics.
Immediate response under light touch and stable behaviour under stronger input across the fretboard.
Lirica
A compact steel-string designed for a light touch and close control.
Fast response and stable behaviour at low to moderate playing levels.
Seicorde
A nylon-string focused on control and articulation.
Selective response to right-hand input and clear separation between voices.
Settecorde
A seven-string nylon guitar designed for balance across an extended range.
Its lower register is focused and balanced, with an even response across the strings.
A system, not a sum of parts
My work is guided by one principle: taking responsibility for the behaviour of the complete instrument.
Structural choices establish how the parts work together. Mass distribution, stiffness and damping shape the response of the complete guitar.
Acoustic targets guide the design before the build begins. During construction, material evaluation, measurement and listening inform the decisions at the bench. After assembly, I evaluate the complete instrument through measurement and playing, then make final acoustic adjustments where the design allows.
