Classic
For every musician, it is important to develop a deep connection with their instrument – almost like the bond between a father and his child. This personal connection inspired me to name two of my classical guitar models after my children: Elia & Aline.
Elia
The Elia stands for tonal richness, dynamics and an exceptionally broad range of registers. It offers demanding guitarists an instrument with extensive tonal possibilities and represents the entry point into my professional high-end range.
The Crossover guitar concept also evolved from the Elia.
Aline
The Aline can be distinguished from the Elia at first glance by its elevated fingerboard. Its distinctive construction gives it an exceptional tonal presence and outstanding projection.
Its sound fills even large concert halls with ease, reaching effortlessly into the furthest corners.
Two models, two characters – developed from the same passion for sound, playability and creating an instrument that allows a personal connection to grow between the guitar and its musician.
Daniel has to be one of the most creative luthiers I have met. He always dreams up great designs, and I always look forward to seeing what he has next!Scott Tennant
