Altamira Guitars N300F Flamenco Guitar / Solid Spruce Top / Laminate Cypress Back and Sides / Gloss Finish

Description

The traditional flamenco guitar is made of Spanish cypress, sycamore, or rosewood for the back and sides, and spruce for the top. This accounts for its characteristic body colour. Flamenco guitars are built lighter with thinner tops than classical guitars, which produces a brighter and more percussive sound quality suitable for Flamenco repertoire. Less internal bracing is used to keep the top more percussively resonant. Volume and projection is very important for flamenco guitarists, as they must be heard over the sound of the dancers’ nailed shoes. To increase volume, harder grade tone woods are used for Flamenco models. The N300F model is ideal for students beginning Flamenco guitar studies. The spruce and cypress construction of this guitar produces a typical dry flamenco tone.Specifications Solid Spruce Top African Mahogany Neck Laminated Cypress Back and Sides Gloss Finish Indian Rosewood Fingerboard 650 mm (standard) Scale Length Golpe Flamenco pick guard on topWatch: Altamira N300F Flamenco Guitar | Product Demonstration
