Daniele claims the inspiration in his work comes primarily from the work of Hermann Hauser I and of the Spanish luthiers Antonio de Torres, Domingo Esteso and Enrique Garcia. These instruments, which Daniele has had the chance to hear live and in many recordings, have extraordinary musical timbral characteristics that he also seeks to capture in his guitars. His approach is both scientific and instinctual, so on one hand, he will skillfully measure the wood’s specific weight and the flexibility to gain some objective parameters with which to work, but then always follows his own musical sensitivity and experience in crafting the wood. In our opinion, this produces a guitar which has a very strong resemblance to Hauser I - specifically by having tone that has a piano-like clarity in all registers, precise balance and a vast color palette (bright and brassy when played ponticello, milky and luminous when played sul tasto, and everything imaginable in-between). Every note has a clearly defined and "anchored" fundamental at its core with very controlled and transparent overtones coating each note. In addition to sound, Daniele also considers the aesthetic details to be very important and has worked very hard to find a pleasing design that he can combine with the best materials he can source. Overall this is an outstanding instrument and we are delighted to be working with this excellent builder.
