Altamira Concert Torres Flamenco Guitar

The Altamira Concert Torres is just one of the historical patterns built in the Hanson Yao workshop.

This concert Torres model is a traditional guitar honouring Antonio de Torres who was a pioneer of Spanish guitar making in the 19th century, his genius in design developed the guitar into the instrument we recognise today. The designs he created improved the overall dimensions and construction of earlier historical instruments that led to the modern instrument we see today.

This Altamira “Torres” model is based on the guitar numbered SE114 made by the Antonio Torres in 1888 and has been constructed to reflect the tonal qualities and aesthetic of that very guitar.

This one was built by Altamira’s  Hanson Yao with beautiful birdseye maple and a hand rubbed finish it’s very lightweight construction gives this guitar a crisp tone with powerful projection.

The shallow birdseye maple body reduces some of the guitars low frequencies that in turn focuses the mid range tones resulting in a guitar that will project very well.
