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 scale lengths of 535, 575, 600, 615, 635, 650 and 660 mm are available. The smaller sizes are suitable for children and youth. Individuals with arthritus may want a shorter scale instrument that is easier on the hands than a full-size instrument and some women may find the 635 mm scale length more comfortable and enjoyable to play than a conventional 650 mm instrument. I can adapt the fingerboard and neck geometries to suite individual needs.
