About
Maestro Andreas Segovia acclaimed as the foremost guitarist in the 20th century.
He Considers the guitar, the most beautiful instrument that man has created.
My name is Erez Matzrafi and I am an Israeli luthier.
I build classical & flamenco guitars.
The model that I build is inspired by Andres Segovia's guitar. (Hermann Hauser 1937)
Handcrafted traditional Spanish guitar.
A concert instrument with a beautiful romantic sound.
I love to grip a guitar and smell the perfume of the woods.
Master luthier Jose Luis Romanillos who influenced me a lot said about the Spanish guitar.
" ..You have to produce an instrument that has a treble register that is clear.
That has the separation of the voiceses is warm, crystalline warm.
And the bass it has to be very resonant!
The resonance has to give the impression that it comes from a well or a cave, you know.
So that to me there are the two facts that determine what I consider a good sounding
A Spanish style guitar."
Every guitar starts with the selection of the finest woods.
Rosewood, cypress, Spruce, Cedar, Mahogany, Maple, Ebony, Padauk..
When I build a guitar I have three main important things that I do not compromise on.
The quality of the sound, the beauty of the guitar and the comfort of playing.
Each guitar is a wonderful creation with her own character.
Light weight guitar, high volume and balanced instrunent with a clear treble and deep bass.
