Giulio Sangirardi & Giulia Cavicchi
We studied at the guitar building school in Pieve di Cento (BO), the same town where we live and work today.
We regularly showcase our instruments at guitar fairs across Italy and throughout Europe.
Over the years, we have attended — and often organized — workshops with world-renowned luthiers such as John Monteleone, Linda Manzer, George Lowden, Chris Jenkins, Alex Bishop, and Roy Courtnall Summerfield.
We build a strictly limited number of guitars each year. This allows us to dedicate time and care to every detail — but tone quality is our highest priority.
We use only traditional finishes, such as shellac French polished.
We craft a few different models of classical guitars with distinct design philosophies, but our main model is based on a Manuel Ramirez 1912.
We also have another model which is our very personal blend of a Vicente Arias and a Manuel Ramirez.
Each guitar we build is one of a kind and will always remain unique. Inlays and decorative elements are tailored individually to each customer.
We offer comprehensive advice on selecting the most suitable tonewoods for your instrument, always considering the aesthetic beauty of the wood — but above all, its impact on the guitar’s sound.
We have produced the CD, which will be released in September by the Bologna-based label Tactus, featuring the complete works of Luigi Mozzani. The recording is performed by Maestro Walter Zanetti on one of our guitars—a Manuel Ramirez 1912 model—crafted using a very special cypress.
