Description

Up to your consideration a rare vintage brazilian, 1950's, TRANQUILO GIANNINI 107 classical guitar. This is about the finest such instruments I have ever come across. The woods are superb, the solid BRW ( Dalbergia Nigra ) set used on this instrument is second to nothing,  perfectly quarter sawn, reminding of the wood favored on the early Martin guitars. This was all handmade and , although it will require some extensive restorations  ( see crack on the side and fairly rough restoration on head ) it is actually in very good conditions. The polish is all original and the sound is gourgeous. These guitars were one of the best instruments available in Brazil during the 1950 s and were therefore favorite among the founders of the "Bossa Nova" mouvement. This is therefore a highly sought after instrument by collectors. The scale is 64.5 cm. Please email for further details.
