2011 Oscar Trezzini SP/CSAR

Oscar Trezzini started as a guitar maker in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1982, under the tutelage of luthiers Pedro Malossetti and Héctor Curto. His early efforts produced a dazzling variety of different guitar types before he gradually refined his techniques and settled on the classical model, which he now builds exclusively. After moving to Switzerland, Trezzini has benefitted from the additional advice of his friend and mentor Dominique Field, as he seeks to continually improve and refine his style and sound. This particular instrument features some beautiful aesthetics including the highly refined rosette (it almost requires the use of magnifying glass to truly appreciate). Materials are stunning - it has gorgeous rosewood for the back/sides. Tuning machines are top-quality Rodgers from England. Sound is superb - it has excellent clarity and power, with a very focused, deep natural tone. Although a spruce-top, it is has a harmonically-rich texture that gives it a very intriguing, mysterious quality. Although it is used, it is in excellent condition with no prior damage or cracks. Overall, a top-level concert and recording instrument for the discriminating performer.
