The Mach Concert Double Top is a fascinating instrument that combines traditional guitar making with innovative construction techniques!

Jaroslav Mach is a respected luthier who has specialized in innovative construction techniques within classical guitar making. The double top technique he employs is a relatively modern development in which two thin layers of tonewood are separated by a lightweight core material such as Nomex.

This method, which has its origins in the aerospace industry, was adopted by forward-thinking luthiers to maximize both stiffness and resonance. By combining Alpine spruce with Western Red Cedar in this sandwich construction, Mach creates a soundboard that draws on the strengths of both woods.

The result of this advanced construction is a guitar with an exceptional dynamic range and complex overtones. The double top design ensures that the instrument responds optimally to both delicate touches and powerful passages, while the combination of spruce varieties produces a rich tonal palette. The Indian rosewood body adds warmth and depth to the bass, and the Honduras cedar neck provides comfortable playability.

This guitar is particularly well-suited for classical guitarists seeking an instrument capable of shining both in intimate chamber music settings and on the concert stage. Supplied in a hardshell case.
