The Adventures and Misadventures of ISIDE - Flavio Cucchi's Personal Concert Guitar Built By Andrea Tacchi

Every guitarist who travels by plane often knows how stressful it is to travel with an instrument. Traveling by plane with a classical guitar can present some challenges due to the instrument's size, fragility, and the restrictions imposed by airlines. Guitars are delicate instruments, susceptible to temperature changes, pressure, and mishandling. High-quality guitar cases definitely make traveling by plane much safer for our precious instruments, but occasional mishaps still happen.

Flavio Cucchi, a reknown Italian classical guitarist, has recently recorded a video in collaboration with luthier Andrea Tacchi. In the video, Flavio discusses his adventures and misadventures while traveling with ISIDE - his favorite concert guitar built by Tacchi.

ISIDE is a guitar that has been Flavio's concert instrument for over two decades. It has evolved over time thanks to various modifications and necessary repairs needed after traveling by plane. Check out the video below to learn more!
