A former pupil of the great Jose Romanillos, Enrico Bottelli is one of the most refined contemporary makers of traditional fan braced classical guitars in the world.
Inspired by the work of Antonio Torres, Manuel Ramirez and Hauser I, Bottelli's signature sound is warm and lyrical, transparent and sweet. Quick to respond to a player's subtlest articulations, his guitars also offer an unusually wide palette of color and nuance.
Further more, these lovely guitars have not only exceptional quality of sound but also impressive projection in a hall. In sum, Enrico Bottelli's classical guitars are uniquely musical and easy to play. It should come as no surprise then that we consider it a distinct honor to be able to offer to our customers the elegant art guitars of Enrico Bottelli.
