This brand-new classical guitar is an exceptional homage to the master luthier Andrea Tacchi's highest model, the "Coclea Thucea". Built by his dedicated student, Jialan, this instrument is more than a tribute; it is a meticulously crafted work of art, fully endorsed by Tacchi himself.
The "Coclea Thucea" Design
The heart of this guitar is its innovative soundboard, a design born from Maestro Tacchi's deep acoustic and artistic understanding. The name "Coclea Thucea" itself is a testament to its genius: "Coclea," the Latin word for the inner ear, and "Thucea," a portmanteau of "Thuja Plicata" (cedar) and "Picea Excelsa" (spruce). This unique combination of a cedar and spruce top is designed to maximize soundboard efficiency and strength, resulting in a guitar that is both remarkably loud and exquisitely responsive, all without compromising its beautiful, full-bodied tone.
Every detail of this instrument is a testament to its luxury and Jialan's dedication to his craft. The unique Fibonacci rosette features golden inlays made of genuine gold, spelling out the sequence found in nature and art. The rosette is further adorned with meticulously set gemstones at each end. The mahogany bridge is thoughtfully dyed on both sides to reduce weight and enhance responsiveness while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
