Please note:- The pictures and sound sample are of the last one sold.
These 64 cm scale guitars are simply outstanding - little gems. As well as the shorter scale, they have a slightly reduced size body and narrower neck - but the quantity and quality of sound is really remarkable. The depth and richness of sound, the spontaneity and projection are the equal of the longer scale guitars and so there is no loss of sound quality to be paid for the short-scale comfort. Daniele is a highly experienced and talented maker whose guitars are beautifully made both in terms of construction detail and aesthetic. Really musical guitars which are delightful to look at and fine performance instruments. A maker to watch out for - prices are rising as his reputation spreads world-wide

"The close relationship Miles Roberts has with us, the makers, results in producing some quite special and unique instruments that we otherwise would not have made. Knowing more about music than the average maker, and understanding our trade better than most guitarists, Miles is the perfect bridge between the two. I am proud to have my instruments promoted and sold by Kent Guitar Classics. Lo stretto rapporto che Miles ha con noi liutai ci permette di realizzare strumenti speciali che probabilmente non faremmo altrimenti. Con una migliore conoscenza della musica che molti liutai e della liuteria che molti chitarristi, Miles è il perfetto mediatore tra i due. Sono molto contento che i miei strumenti siano offerti da Kent Guitar Classics."
