The design is derived from guitars by Jose Romanillos, with whom I studied in Spain. While the design draws extensively from the rich tradition of lutherie in Spain, France, Germany, the United States, and elsewhere, it is informed by a modern understanding of guitar acoustics. Of particular importance is the vibrational coupling of the different parts of the guitar and interaction of the resonant frequencies. The resonances must work together to yield the desired tonal response.
Guitars with a full range of scale lengths are available. They are all based on the same design and all produce a full, rich sound.
