Description saulofernandes Store Breathtaking Concert Rosewood Classical Guitar.  Here is a brand new Limited Edition Carvalho guitar. This is an Emanuel Carvalho one. (The Carvalhos are two brothers, Samuel and Emanuel, whom have built more than 400 guitars to date being now considered to be the best luthiers in South America history). Many vituosos and professionals own a Carvalho and several are on their waiting list for one. A list of some professionals/virtuosos owning one can be found below after specifications. (For more information on the Carvalho brothers, Samuel & Emanuel, their gifted work as luthiers, building process, etc., please inquire. You can also visit their website art www.carvalhoguitars.net. It is in Portuguese though. Thanks).The craftsmanhip of a Carvalho guitar specially the boxes (back, sides, and interior design), are superior the great majority of the ones named the best in the world. Also, the sound quality that they offer is very hard to beat.  They compare to the very best ones in the world today (Ruck, Byers, Romanillos, Bernabe, D'anton, Ramirez, Rodriguez, Contreras, just to name a few). This one in particular, has surprised me with its sound quality even more than all the previous ones have had. It is a spruce top guitar, just a month old and with a volume, definition and balance of an mature guitar. Imagine after a year or two of playing it.! Honestly, the sound of this guitar is just unbelievable! Every time I receive a Cavalho its a joyful experience. I can wait until I play it. Then, because they all sound so good, I like to show them to local virtuosos who are guitar authorities. Christopher McGuire was amazed with its sound quality. He is a renowned guitarist, professor, and director of three guitar societies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, owns two Smallman guitars and have played in several world class guitars. (www.christophermcguire.com,   http://guitarsociety.org). I also had the opportunity to let Carlo Pezzimenti (www.pezzimenti.org/), a genius of the classical guitar, whom played and analyzed this exquisite instrument. He simply  loved its sound quality (He owns a Fletta and another 9 internationally renonwed guitars).This guitar brings Carvalhos' latest developments. They have always carried experiments and done a lot of research in order to handcraft the very best of guitars available, and this one has an innovation on the top (not the outside appearance, but in  its construction and preparation), which makes it sounding this amazing already. The bracings on it are lattice, and it sounds crystal clear and warm like the great old guitars. It has a powerful guitar, with a balance all over the range that is not the usual on brand new guitars, specially spruce tops.  It has the best basses I have ever heard on a guitar. It will leave you mouth opened. The trebles don't stay behind. They ring very penetrating, strong and yet soft and warm, with a sustain that satisfies the highly educated and gifted virtuosos. To good go be true and at a price range to good to be true as well.I have played in several world class guitars, such as Smallman, Ramirez, Fletta, Dammann, Contreras, Humphrey, etc., and this one looses no ground to any of them. Simply breathtaking. Like stated before, it is very hard to beat the sound quality of a Carvalho Guitar. Their prices are very good too. For guitars that sound as good as any of the world's top guitars US$3,500.00 is a deal, hard to beat. Carvalho guitars' prices are on the rise, because they are quickly establishing themselves with an international reputation, which ranks them among the best in the world. Soon, the prices on their guitars will increase. This is a good time to invest in one on them.SpecificationsBack and sides: Aged and prime Indian Rosewood.
