Model 74 Grand Auditorium

The Model 74 is a concert class instrument from our masterbuilt range which is hand crafted in an artisan workshop headed by luthier Niu Lihua, a former understudy of world renown master luthier Yulong Guo.

Only the highest grades of solid tone wood, which have been naturally seasoned for a minimum of 8 years, are used in the construction of these superlative instruments.

The Model 74 series are modern era instruments that are inspired by the designs of Australian luthier Greg Smallman and latterly  master luthier Yulong Guo. They feature lattice braced tops in either spruce or cedar, with a choice of woods for the back and sides e.g. Indian rosewood, Yucatan rosewood or Padauk. The principal feature that sets them apart from Spanish and European instruments is the deeply arched and braceless 'double back' which gives them enhanced volume and resonance.

The performance level of this superb instrument makes it fully at home in a concert or orchestral setting
