Samuel Zamfir de Souza classical guitar #14 (2021) – demo video

Samuel Zamfir grew up in Scotland but now is based in Romania. He studied guitar making under master luthier Pablo Requena. Luckily for us (guitarists) although he is a master luthier himself already, he isn’t famous yet so his guitars are quite affordable – but we have a feeling that it won’t last long. Here is his charming guitar made of carpatian spruce and flamed walnut featuring rised freatboard and armrest.

Listen to this guitar played by Klaudia Mikolajczyk at famous La Catedral by Barrios Mangore. As you can hear the sound is round and sweet with so characeristic for cedar tops “fullness” – I bet this guitar wil open nicely after a year or two of intense playing.
