Stanislaw Partyka 2019 cedar

We have sold many guitars from Stanislaw Partyka, not because they offer the best quality for money but simply because they are great concert guitars that can be easily compared to the big names such as Gnatek, Redgate, Marty. This is a 2019 new Partyka guitar which is quite different from the ones we knew: the guitar is much lighter, with a very natural pure sound and the same loudness. The tone color of the trebles is wonderful, just the right balance between clarity and darkness.

We asked to Stanislaw to introduce himself :

‘Although I have always been fascinated with the classical guitar, in the early years I never imaged that one day I would be building them for a living.  However, what began as desire to learn to play eventually led to a life-long journey of both teaching others guitar while studying its craftsmanship and design.

While studying at Chopin Music Academy in Warsaw, I had many opportunities to play in small venues, where I realized that most classical guitars lacked a strong voice and good sound projection, especially when trying to accompany other (louder) instruments.

Eventually I built my first amplifier so that I could play being accompanied by the instruments like an accordion or vibraphone while playing the chamber music for the audience during special events.

During this time, I was never satisfied with the sound during performances because the amplifier did not accurately reproduce the natural sounds of the classical guitar. Therefore, I began searching for alternate classical guitar designs that could meet my expectations for both voice and sound quality.

I was particularly drawn to guitar tops using lattice bracing construction and double top to achieve the voice and tone I was looking for.

This style of construction can result in a light-weight, yet rigid soundboard requiring less string energy to effectively transfer and project the sound.

My goal when building guitars is to achieve the rich harmonic pallet and even tones of traditional method of spruce bracing classical guitars while offering an enhanced loudness, uncommon for small body most instruments.’
