Since 1996, Carlos Barbosa-Lima has played guitars built by Cuban-born, Miami resident Andres Caruncho. “I love his guitars and I have two of them,” he says. “The guitar on Mambo No. 5 is cedar, which was for me an acquired taste. It’s fantastic, very warm sounding. Sustain and a singing tone are major features of Caruncho’s guitars.”
We certainly agree with Carlos, this is one great classical guitar from Andres Caruncho. The tone of this incredible guitar is very nuanced, but even at low volumes it retains a certain richness thanks to the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Cedar top that only becomes more evident when played louder. The Spanish Cedar neck and Ebony fretboard have a comfortable feel that also allows ease of playability. A wonderfully expressive instrument in every way.
This Andres Caruncho concert guitar is such a joy to play. It's easy to articulate on and it has a rich, resonant voice that is compelling on many levels. You can play sweet and gentle and you can also demand power and get it. Wonderfully crafted and offering a world class voice for the player. | Scale Length | 25.5900 in |
