Marcin Dylla - 1947 Robert Bouchet

Watch Marcin Dylla play the Valse Romantique from Alexander Tansman’s Hommage a Chopin on a stunning 1947 Robert Bouchet – the second guitar Bouchet ever built and the first he ever sold. Dylla’s performance is masterful and shows off some of the legendary elegance that Bouchet’s guitars are known for.

Bouchet is one of the giants of 20th Century luthiery and the founder of what would become the French School of luthiery which would go on to include Daniel Friederich, Dominique Field, Jean-Noel Rohe, Bertrand Ligier and more. You can also see the very first guitar ever built by Bouchet here.
