| Comments | Incredibly strong basses that go one tone down below a cello. About torrefied wood It takes years for a new guitar to break in, to develop its tone and realize its full potential. As tonewood ages, its cell structure goes through changes, becoming much more resonant and responsive. After a few years, you get the payoff: you begin to hear the sound of a vintage guitar. With the introduction of torrefied woods, professional builders are giving their guitars a head start on tone. The wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable. It’s as if the wood is pre-aged. It looks and sounds like wood that’s been broken in for many years. There is no better instrument to play Bach. Click the tap above to watch the video where I play a similar guitar built by Bolin. LOTS OF FREE SCORES INCLUDED. When buying an altoguitar from my shop you also receive (for free) lots of transcriptions of baroque and renaissance music for the altoguitar. |
