Necks, scrolls, ribs, tops and backs are each carved by specialists in their home workshops and are assembled by a main workshop. They are then shipped to the US where experts adjust them for optimal tonal response and playability. Then they are hand varnished in an antique style to produce a warm noble Old World appearance. This attention to detail insures a radiant robust infectious tone that will inspire.
