Manuel Adalid – La Catedral Special - Classical Guitar
=> please CLICK HERE to see this guitar in action:
Manuel Adalid is a Master Luthier from Valencia Spain and head of the Francisco Esteve guitars.
He is widely respected as one of Spain’s most experimental and innovative guitars maker.
His instruments have been played by top guitarist throughout the world.
The La Catedral is Manuel Adalid’s top guitar made personally and incorporates a lifetime of guitar building by a maker at the peak of his building. La Catedral has superb tone, excellent projection and playability.
This Catedral is the best of several that I have had through the years it was personally selected in Madrid by a very discerning and experienced collector and player.
As a double top it is very easy to play and responsive.
It gives immediacy of response in the trebles and displays perfect evenness across the strings and balance between basses and trebles with ringing clarity in the trebles with unfailing string separation and clarity in the voicing.
In performing baroque repertoire, the Cathedral produces admirable clarity, in the Romantic repertoire it delivers the required sweetness and in 20th Century repertoire such as Villalobos and Ponce it delivers sonority and lyricism.
