"Our aim is to provide instruments with polyphonic clarity, timbral richness, balance, sustain, projection and volume."
Drawing on our experience, an essential design and carefully selected materials, we offer high-performance instruments at fair prices.
We offer two models of classical guitar: the Gioachino Giussani concert guitar and the more accessible Jacopo Giussani, alongside our romantic 18th/19th-century style guitars, used instruments and other types. Come and visit us — we look forward to welcoming you in our workshop among the green Tuscan hills. In the meantime, take a look at our selection below.
The guitar is built with very stable sides and back, designed to vibrate as little as possible and transfer all the energy to the soundboard — the part that vibrates and produces sound. Given their solidity and stability, the choice of wood for the sides and back is purely aesthetic and has no influence on sound production. In building the soundboard (bracing) we do not use artificial materials (Nomex, Carbon) because in our experience wood offers greater performance, particularly in timbral flexibility for a more expressive result. We use a side hole (Side Hole) which gives the guitarist greater dynamic control. Given the excellent projection of the instrument, this is particularly useful in concert halls.

The guitar follows the same construction philosophy as the concert models but with a more approachable feel. The build is simpler, the decorations and finishing more minimal. The soundboard bracing is closer to tradition but always our own invention. As with the concert model, we do not use artificial materials (Nomex, Carbon) because in our experience wood offers greater performance, particularly in timbral flexibility for a more expressive result.
