Watch Mark Eden perform on a Stephen Eden cedar/Indian Cadenza Model classical guitar..

Overview: Handcrafted by master English guitar maker Stephen Eden, these player friendly highly responsive concert level classical guitars represent a tremendous musical value in a truly handmade luthier built traditional concert guitar. They project a beautiful warm full focused sound, a wide concert worthy dynamic range, excellent balance and sustain, a large palette of colors and attack, as well as offer quick easy playability, and superb materials and immaculate craftsmanship.

About his Cadenza Model Stephen Eden writes: "This is my concert guitar on a budget. I build these guitars in my shop with a focus on sound and playabilty while minimizing the costly cosmetics side of the guitar. I build these guitars to the same design as my standard concert model using the same high quality woods, French polish of shellac concert finish, and craftsmanship. They also come with the same high quality Hiscox hardshell case that I provide with my standard concert Model guitar."

In sum: These musical gems are the real deal, not shiny factory or production shop clones masquerading as concert instruments.
