2019 Kevin Aram "Marianela" SP/IN

Considered to be one of the best makers in northern Europe, Aram has made guitars for some of the most prominent players in the world including Julian Bream. His guitars are influenced by the work of Torres, Hauser and Romanillos. The sound is delicate and refined with great response and plenty of volume. There is something very musical about these instruments which reveals itself in every note. Aram's guitars have warmth and charm and are beautifully made - materials on this example are gorgeous with very dark, quartersawn Indian rosewood and a spruce top covered in bearclaw. Tuners are Rodgers. Playability is superb - a very comfortable neck and slightly smaller scale (640 mm) make this guitar a breeze for both right and left hand. Overall a top example from this excellent maker.
