Antonio de Torres bouwtekening

Dit zijn de gedetailleerde, volledige grootte plannen van gitaren door beroemde makers. Elk plan is nauwkeurig getekend, en is gebaseerd op een zorgvuldig onderzoek van het betrokken instrument. Het bevat alle informatie die nodig is om een reproductie te bouwen. Schaal lengtes zijn alle 650 mm, tenzij anders vermeld.

Elk plan wordt afgedrukt op drie afzonderlijke vellen papier van A2 (600 x 450 mm):
Blad een: Bouw notities, rozet design, brug, hoofd, hals 
Blad twee: Zangbodem en Strutting
Blad drie: Nek, Fingerboard, zijaanzicht.

Antonio de Torres (short scale length: 650 mm) - Plan for a Small Guitar

Torres is rightly seen as the founder of the modern Spanish classical guitar, and many experienced luthiers today still continue to make their guitars closely following the designs established by Torres in about 1860.

Having made a guitar according to the larger dimensions of the Torres Plan Number 1, many guitar makers find it interesting to build a small guitar, in contrast to a full-size guitar. This is an interesting design to follow - the small guitar has a surprisingly vibrant and penetrating sound, especially in the treble range. The smaller volume of air contained inside the soundbox means that the bass range is less full, but provided a well-balanced instrument is constructed, the result is usually very pleasing.
