This
GORGEOUS Bellucci COYOTE concert guitar is a first class instrument built
using Hermann Hauser Sr. 1943 engineering where I thinned and arched the
top to my own set of measures to optimize power and projection. The
16 years old air-dried Coyote back and sides of different shades of yellowish
brown and beige makes it VERY CLEAR why the wood is called COYOTE. It is
really magical. Depending on the light, the color shifts dramatically
and I took pictures from every angle to show this effect. A first class
tone and an hypnotizing grain make this beauty a true queen, Sober and
elegant worth every compliment.
The Italian spruce adds volume and
sustain which translates in a FABULOUS sound. The action is tremendously
easy because of the radius to the fingerboard and the 640 scale.
Coyote will allow you to shine in Flamenco repertoire...simply changing
the strings to Hannabach Flamenco will do the trick.
The rosette is handmade in
Russia and adds a fabulous touch of elegance along with the
ebony bindings and luxury purflings. The cedar neck carries a triple reinforcement
which adds beauty and prevents the neck from giving in to the tension of
the strings for centuries to come... The nut and saddle are made of bone.
Punching-rounded basses accompanied
by the clearest trebles is the best description of the sound in words.
Maestro Bellucci sets the action
personally to ensure maximum ease of play and fluidity in the most demanding
left hand positions. The guitar projects very well with Either Hannabach
or D'Addario medium or high tension strings. The guitar is built
to last forever |
