Description from the seller
CLASSICAL GUITAR GIANNINI AWN31 1970s
The Giannini guitars are among Brazil's most iconic instruments, famous worldwide for their deep connection with the history of Bossa Nova. The company was founded in 1900 in São Paulo by the Italian luthier Tranquillo Giannini, originally from Lucca, quickly becoming the cornerstone of instrument production in Latin America.
Tranquillo Giannini emigrated to Brazil in 1896 and began to handcraft guitars in his own home in 1900. In the golden years (particularly in the 1970s), the Giannini factory produced more than 130 handmade guitars per day, offering instruments ranging from beginner studio models to high-end professional pieces of the finest lutherie, today highly sought after on the vintage market.
Classical Guitars (AWN / Estudo Series): Highly valued for their warm, soft timbre and rich bass frequencies, perfect for Brazilian music. Vintage models such as the AWN20 or the AWN31 use Pau Ferro.
The Giannini AWN 31 (often labeled AWN-3132) is one of the most famous and appreciated vintage classical guitars produced in Brazil during the 1970s. It is a mid-range for studio use instrument, today highly sought after by Bossa Nova lovers.
Unlike European classics (such as Ramirez or Bernabé), which aim for a bright, crystalline sound, the Giannini AWN 31 has a muffled, deep timbre oriented toward mid-low frequencies. This intimate acoustic response is perfect to accompany the voice or the typical syncopated chords of Brazilian music, though it may be less suitable for the solo classical repertoire in academia.
The guitar in question is crafted in Pau Ferro with the back, sides, and neck. It has a velvety tone. The neck is very comfortable.
