Rodolfo Cucculelli - Guitar Maker

Gallery 3



8 strings requinto (alt guitar).
Silhouette: Developed by my client and friend Juan Molina and me.
String length: 55,05 cm.
Soundboard: Western red cedar.
Back: Brazilian Rosewood.
Sides: Mañío Chileno.
Fretboard: Ebony.
Frets: Nickel (tall).
Bridge: Brazilian Rosewood.
Neck: Paraguayan Cedar. With two truss-rod adjustable by the soundhole.
Tuning machine: Schaller gold (Hauser model).
Polish: Shellac by hand.
Ornamental bindings: Indian Rosewood.
Rosette: Italian.
Fan bracing: Own.
Comments: The soundboard, not bookmatched, a single piece of wood, stiffness medium, very flexible, with a stiff fan bracing and with requinto set of strings tuned "G" (Sol), produce a very nice tone, with a soft action in the right hand. But with a set of 1, 2 and 3rd Hannabach strings monophilament Carbono, medium tension, improve the instrument performance, with a loud, cutting sound and more contundent.
