2011 Oscar Trezzini SP/CSAR

A 2011 classical guitar by Argentine luthier Oscar Trezzini, with a spruce top and CSA rosewood back and sides, made in Switzerland – pre-owned, in excellent condition with no damage or cracks.

In the videos above, Douglas Lora plays his "Pardon", and Tomasz Fechner (with Deanna Pyeon) plays "Concert d'Aujourd'hui" from Piazzolla's "Histoire du Tango" on this guitar.

A Microscopic Rosette

Built while Oscar lived in Switzerland, with the advice of Dominique Field, the guitar has a rosette so refined that it almost needs a magnifying glass to appreciate, gorgeous rosewood and Rodgers tuners.

Sound

It has excellent clarity and power, with a very focused, deep natural tone, and – though spruce-topped – a harmonically rich texture with an intriguing, mysterious quality. A top-level concert and recording instrument.

Oscar Trezzini: From Buenos Aires to Madeira

Oscar Trezzini began making guitars in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1982, under the luthiers Pedro Malossetti and Héctor Curto. After building many kinds of guitars he settled on the classical guitar, which he builds exclusively. In Geneva, Switzerland, he benefited from the advice of his friend and mentor Dominique Field, and today he works on the Portuguese island of Madeira, in a workshop with an ocean view and controlled humidity.

The Friederich Connection

In 2016 Oscar became friends with Daniel Friederich, and after Friederich retired he acquired much of what the master had left – wood, instruments, measuring devices and hand tools – together with the workbenches of Friederich and Robert Bouchet. Friederich's ideas and materials have given his recent guitars a new direction.
