Originally from Argentina, Paula Lazzarini had been working out of her workshop in Cremona, Italy for several years. However, several years ago she moved to her current location in Turin, where she recently completed a 2-year project as a visiting professor at the Accademia di Liuteria in Piemonte, and now dedicates herself full-time to guitar making. We first met Paula in 2021 when she took the FIRST prize in the 4th International "Antonio Marin Montero" Guitar Building Competition in Granada, Spain.
For this guitar, Paula has chosen some really great materials as always including some Indian rosewood with reddish hues, which she has framed beautifully with wide flamed maple purflings and a lovely quartersawn cedar top. Her bold, almost "architectural" aesthetic can be seen in the head design and in the highly symmetrical inlays of her mosaic work in the triple-layered rosette. Also, as usual all of Paula's guitars have a name written inside, which is her way of saying thanks and paying tribute to the people she has met in life, people who helped her learn something new, transpired an emotion, or provided a reflection, etc. This guitar is part of a series of instruments that she is working on at the moment she has called "The cousins", a name which popped up when, in her birthday months ago, she received a warm call from some children who sang and greeted her over the phone, giving a colorful and cheerful moment on her special day. Soundwise, this guitar has her usual Friederich-esque qualities - thick and full-bodied in the overtone content of every note while retaining great clarity and separation/balance between notes. This instrument is everything the winning instrument was, and more. Once again we are thrilled to have this here at GSI and look forward to many more instruments from this award-winning luthier in the future.
