Orchestra

The Pinnacle of Tone, Playability, and Versatility. Introducing the Orchestra guitar, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and innovation. Each guitar is meticulously handcrafted with a unique design and tuning process, utilizing proprietary tools and a profound understanding of acoustic principles. This results in exceptional performances and an unforgettable playing experience.

Innovative Design for Superior Performance

Feel the magic of playing with the Orchestra’s innovative Overhang Neck, bent soundboard, and missing heel. These features not only enhance playability but also contribute to the guitar’s unique tonal qualities. The bracing system adopts an original T-Fan scheme, that makes for a very low equivalent mass of the soundboard (around 58 grams), and an exceptional mobility value of 16, offering a responsive and expressive sound. Additionally, the External Tuning Slot system, a unique innovation, keeps the main resonances always between the notes, minimizing wolf notes for a harmonious sound, great sustain, and coherence across the neck.

Bridging Tradition and Modernity

The Orchestra guitar beautifully bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, ushering the acoustic guitar into a new era. It is designed to be a versatile and engaging instrument, suitable for a wide range of musical styles. With its delicate and expressive tone, the Orchestra guitar is perfect for flat picking without quickly entering the saturation zone. This makes it an ideal choice for musicians seeking a balanced and nuanced sound.

Versatility Across Musical Styles

Whether you’re playing folk, jazz, or rock, the Orchestra guitar adapts effortlessly, providing a broad palette of tones to suit any genre. Its design and craftsmanship ensure that it remains a versatile and reliable companion for any musician.

The ETS allows to fine-tune the main resonances of the soundboard without removing the strings. To eliminate any wolf notes and play in tune over the whole fretboard.

Pinless bridge

The pinless bridge saves 5 grams of weight (the usual six bone pins), avoid drilling 6 holes through the soundboard (with the acoustic leaks that come within), and realizes a tighter coupling of string balls with the soundboard, for optimal transfer of energy and vibrations.

Michael Watts reviews the orchestra

“…it’s a very Dynamic instrument, yes. It does have a lot of headroom should you wish, but playing quietly is still very rewarding, the notes are full and fat, rich, and the combination of this range of timbres and wide dynamic possibilities make for an instrument that feels really cohesive from the initial attack all the way to the dying out of the note. I’ve really enjoyed my time with this fascinating instrument and I hope you’ve enjoyed this video too…”
