Last weekend I bought a brand new classical guitar. It’s an Orpheus Valley Sofia handmade by Kremona, a small company in Bulgaria. Yes, you heard me right, Bulgaria. Kremona makes some beautiful instruments and I’ve got one!
I’ve been practicing and playing with it. Wow. The sound is fantastic with deep and tonal quality. It’s a true classical quitar so the strings are a little farther apart for the intricate fingerwork that style demands. It has a cedar top, mahogany bridge, bone nut and Savarez strings. It’s magnificent and I think I’m in love. The rosette around the sound hole is simply gorgeous, too.
I just love it. Here’s an Internet pic. Maybe someday I’ll take one myself with my camera when I’m not so lazy.
Great guitar! I actually LOVE piano music and LOVE guitar – my two favourite.
It’s a great instrument. I love the deep tonal quality of the strings. It has a very impressive sound.
