This guitar was originally displayed at the 2023 Roma Guitar Expo, and shows Ivan Bruna's guitar work at its absolute best. This is a "Limited Edition" model which features his most deluxe (and tasteful) inlay work and selection of finest materials. The construction style is traditional at its core, having apprenticed with Enrico Bottelli over 20 years ago, we feel there the sound captures many of the qualities normally used to describe the sound of 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. Ivan tells us that he seeks round trebles and bodied basses, with a preferred low body resonance between F and F#. His guitars also have a reputation for being extremely comfortable to play. Ivan believe this is due to the relaxed "flexibility" of his neck to the soundboard system. Ivan also seeks to maximize dynamic range, largely by his particular treatment and doming of the soundboard. Overall this is an outstanding and versatile instrument which can be used to perform any style of music, and we are delighted to be working with this excellent builder in the USA.
