Robert RUCK Composite Top (all wood) Madagascar/cedar Classical Guitar

Since Robert Ruck closed his lengthy waiting list several years ago, we continue to be honored to receive from this great master an average of one beautiful new concert guitar a year.

This is what we said about our last new Robert Ruck classical guitar: The modern concert guitar offered here, crafted to the specifications of one of Robert Ruck's most successful designs, incorporates this maker's new very exciting all wood composite top construction (loosely referred to by some as double top technology).

An inspired and inspiring musical instrument in every way, from one of the world's most talented and accomplished makers, this guitar has quick powerful satin like trebles, deep powerful complex basses, perfect balance, solid fundamental tones, and overall a rich dark very precise very, very beautiful sound. This guitar is also unusually easy to play. To paraphrase one of our colleagues, this is a concert guitar for the performer who wishes to be heard in the next county without sacrificing artistic nuance or quality of sound.

Robert Ruck's celebrated concert guitars have been performed and recorded on by numerous artists around the world - most notably, of course, by Manuel Barrueco.
