The African Blackwood guitar arrived last night (Friday 16th) in perfect health. It is georgeous !! Even while bringing the strings up to tune (outside temperature was about the same as inside), I could notice the sustain and volume are enhanced. It sounds wonderful. I played a couple of my favorite short easy pieces on it... grand.
You are correct, the radiused fingerboard is comfortable. It is indeed an honor to play one of your creations. You and your people do very artistic work, and I'm sure thatm this instrument will aid me as my learning progresses. In a way, it's fun that we don't get really good overnight. Worthwhile dues.
Thank you very much !

Just to let you know that the guitar arrived safe and sound thanks to your sturdy packaging. Although it will take some time to fully realize the sound, I did put on the strings I use for non-nail playing and adjusted the bridge nut somewhat - thanks for the guidance. The guitar has powerful bass and a clear high register. I love the violin tie, the arm rest, sound port, radiused finger board, and 640 scale length (I could tell a difference immediately). I intend to change my other guitars to 640 with radiused finger board. I would also like to add the arm rest and sound port for sure and possibly violin tie to a couple of other guitars I have. The arm rest is fantastic, and I had never seen the violin tie on any other classical guitar. Really a beautiful instrument.
Thanks for the accompanying instructions, the so beautiful case, and for your quick and friendly responses to inquiries and general communications. I will be happily playing and enjoying this guitar several times a week for many years to come.
Best regards and sincere thanks,

I competed in two competitions playing on my Bellucci guitar. One of them was in Serbia and the other in Macedonia. I've won the 1st place in the competition in Serbia and won a special 1st price in Macedonia. Over 50 competitors battled for the first price. I am so proud ! At both competitions I played: J.Cardoso - Milonga, J.S. Bach - Prelude from first Cello Suite BWV 1007 and J.K. Mertz - Le Gondolierre. I've uploaded a video on you tube (only the Gondolierre). Here's a link if you would like to see the video.
Your's sinceraly...
