Chiara Frisio - 2026 No. 11
About the luthier
Chiara Frisio is a Milanese luthier who comes from a family of musicians and artisans. After completing high school, she enrolled at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano, where she studied with Roberto de Miranda, Silvia Zanchi, Ivan Bruna, and Bob Van de Kerkchove. Upon receiving her diploma as Maestro Liutaio, she continued to refine her craftsmanship in the workshop of Lorenzo Lippi, gaining further experience with classical guitars, mandolins, and historical instruments.
Frisio represents a new generation of makers characterised by careful workmanship and a differentiated sense of tonal colour. Her work reflects a close engagement with both modern concert guitars and historical models. In each instrument, she pursues clarity, acoustic depth, and structural coherence, guided by a precise and disciplined approach to materials and sound.
About the guitar
This instrument from 2026, numbered 11, is built in traditional construction with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, finished in French polish. The visual concept is coherent and refined. The rosette design is echoed in the detailing of the bridge, giving the instrument a unified and compact aesthetic presence.
Tonally, the guitar offers a warm and centred voice with particular strength in the midrange. This gives melodic lines substance and allows inner voices to remain clearly perceptible in polyphonic textures. The basses are deep yet controlled, while the trebles are clean and rounded without excessive brightness.
The response is quick and stable, supporting precise articulation and a wide dynamic range. With an air resonance between G sharp and A, the tonal structure feels compact and well organised. The instrument maintains clarity across the registers and offers a balanced resistance that enables nuanced phrasing. Overall, it is a light and resonant concert guitar with a focused, cohesive tonal character.
