An ecologic replica of the famous Antonio de Torres’ short scale guitar
We’ve achieved a free interpretation of the Torres’ short scale guitar, but this time using exclusively sustainable woods. In our opinion, this project humbly comes to demonstrate that a good sound is possible without using endangered species.
We’ve also equiped the guitar with mechanic tunning machines (the original models have usually wood pegs), and resized a bit de rosette.

Real sound
Sound has been recorded live, and there is no post-processing.
La pieza es un arreglo de El narizotas, canción popular española del siglo XIX. El sonido está grabado en directo, con una pareja de micrófonos Rode M5. No se ha añadido más procesamiento que un levísimo reverb para hacer el sonido más realista.
