Andrea TACCHI, Italy
Robert Bouchet Homage

Brazilian/spruce
Expected : July 2008
Price to be Determined

These magnificent musical hommages are the culmination of years of research by the great Florentine master, Andrea Tacchi, into the work of his friend and colleague, the late great French master, Robert Bouchet. Robert Bouchet's classical guitars were performed and recorded upon to great effect in the 1960s by Julian Bream and the Presti/Lagoya Duo among others.

Tacchi's elegant, individually handcrafted, Bouchet hommages embody sweet round transparent trebles, smooth sonorous basses, excellent dynamic range and projection in a concert hall, a wide color palette, and an unusually clear flexible sound overall.

In total these unique instruments represent an elegant sonic and visual homage to one of the greatest masters of the past by one of the world's greatest contemporary masters. Put a little wonder in your life; play one of these instruments, listen carefully and enter an inspiring new musical domain.  (Learn more).
