Ivan Bruna - 2023 64 cm
About the luthier
Ivan Bruna is an Italian guitar maker based near Livorno where he builds concert guitars entirely by hand following the classical tradition. He studied at the Scuola di Liuteria di Milano and deepened his craft through an apprenticeship with Enrico Bottelli. His work is shaped by analytical attention and by a philosophy that places musical clarity and structural coherence above novelty. Bruna refines traditional methods with meticulous precision, seeking a sound that combines richness, stability and a bold singing core. His instruments are respected for their elegant workmanship and for a voice that maintains clarity across a wide dynamic range.
About the guitar
This guitar from 2024 is traditionally built with a spruce top and beautifully figured birdseye maple for the back and sides. The entire instrument is finished with French polish which preserves both resonance and tactile lightness. With a scale length of 640 mm and a nut of 49.5 mm the guitar offers an immediately comfortable feel and a slightly more compact geometry. Gotoh tuning machines complement the clean and precise visual presentation of the instrument. At only 1370 grams the guitar responds quickly and breathes freely even under the lightest touch.
The sound is airy, full bodied and warm with a round softness that gives each note a natural presence. The resonance is strong and the sustain is long which allows melodic lines to unfold with ease. The instrument projects clearly yet keeps a gentle character that feels inviting and expressive. The balance across the registers is even and the guitar reveals many colours with only small variations of the right hand. It offers a reassuring sense of stability without losing its openness. The maple voice is present and gives the guitar a smooth and luminous quality that enhances both lyrical playing and transparent polyphony. This is an instrument that encourages the player to explore a wide tonal palette while remaining consistently comfortable in every position.
Condition
The guitar is in mint condition and shows no signs of use.
