Fabio Zontini

Born in Milan, Italy in 1971.

Graduated from the Milan Liuteria Conservatory in 1996, receiving a diploma in string instrument making and restoration.

Drawing significant inspiration from the works of historical masters such as Antonio de Torres, Hermann Hauser I, Pietro Gallinotti, Francisco Simplício, and Luis Panormo, he has crafted over 250 instruments to date.

In 2007, at the Barcelona Music Museum, he conducted thorough research on Miguel Llobet's 1859 guitar, which inspired Hauser I's Spanish guitar, and Antonio de Torres' famous "Papier Mach?" guitar (made of cardboard in 1862), which demonstrated the importance of the soundboard. Over the years, he has produced numerous copies of these guitars.

He has participated in and lectured at numerous music conservatories, music schools, museums, and important guitar festivals in Italy, Europe, and Central America, as well as at many domestic and international exhibitions. In 2016, he participated in the creation of a unique "Arcimborda" guitar, made by 15 guitar makers, at the Rome Guitar Expo.

For over 20 years, he has lived in the tranquil countryside of Lignia in northwestern Italy, working in his home and workshop surrounded by olive trees.

This Torres model guitar was crafted for Alexis Vallejos, a classical guitarist who won the Andres Segovia International Guitar Competition and performs worldwide. It was made using extremely old mahogany wood, reportedly obtained by an elderly gentleman who used to make guitars, by disassembling an old bed.

This is a near-mint, like-new used item with almost no signs of use.

Its compact body makes it easy to hold, and you can enjoy its dignified and well-balanced sound.

Hard case included.
