Description

Andrea Tacchi’s Coclea Thucea classical guitar is a testament to the art of modern lutherie, drawing inspiration from the legendary Antonio de Torres. Tacchi elevates this legacy with a unique soundboard crafted from a central strip of spruce flanked by outer cedar panels, resulting in an instrument that boasts remarkable power and sensitivity. This 2010 model (No. 343) is not just a guitar; it's a symphony of craftsmanship, balancing tradition with contemporary innovation.

The Coclea Thucea captivates with its innovative, sparse bracing design, which helps achieve a soundscape filled with immense sustain and projection, rivaling even the most modern instruments. Yet, it maintains an organic, natural voice. This guitar doesn’t just whisper elegance—it sings with it. The deep, resonant basses and clear, singing trebles create a harmonious balance that fills any room with its commanding presence.

For musicians seeking versatility, this guitar responds beautifully to both delicate, lyrical passages and powerful, commanding performances. Its slim D-shaped neck profile and low action enhance playability, making it a joy for any guitarist to explore its dynamic range.

Tacchi's Coclea Thucea is more than an instrument; it's an embodiment of musical artistry and Italian elegance. This guitar is a rare find for collectors and performers alike, promising to inspire and captivate with every strum.
