Roberto de Miranda Limited Edition Roma expo 2023

The first time I learned about Roberto de Miranda was in 2002, I purchased the Naxos Cd of LLobet music from Lorenzo Micheli. Micheli is a great player but there was something wonderful in the guitar sound that I remembered years after. Now my dream comes true: here is a brand new guitar from Roberto de Miranda Limited Edition from 2023 Roma Expo. Traditional sound, Torres inspired but with the secret recipe of Roberto to boost the sound volume while keeping intact the timbral qualities and tone. Philippe and I would rate this guitar among the very best traditional guitar you could find.

The guitar sounds wonderful, is easy to play and offer a great projection.

Here are the technical characteristics of the guitar:

• Rosette: handmade
• Neck: Cedrella odorosa

• Back and ribs: Ziricote

Here is some bibliographical information from Roberto :
