The Galiano Series 8 represents an exceptional level of handcrafted mastery. These instruments are handcrafted in Germany using a time-honored workshop-method tradition. These superior instruments are made of aged wood to achieve an attractive warmer sound. Our German luthiers use highly flamed maple paired with straight grained spruce and deep colored varnish in order to create an exciting, old-world appearance. The sound projects as rounder than other newer instruments due to the older wood, almost as if they have been broken in by years of advanced performing.
