Angelo Vailati was born in 1977 in Treviglio in the Bergamo area. Interested in guitar making since he was a child, he enrolled in 2001 at the "Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano". He is also one of those young Italian luthiers trained by Enrico Botelli (2005). He discovers his taste for historical Spanish guitar makers : Torres, Manuel Ramirez, Santos Hernández, Esteso... In 2006 he follows a Romanillos's course. In 2008 he goes to Granada in the workshop of Daniele Chiesa. Today his workshop is in Bologna.
This guitar is inspired by the Torres SE114 (1888) which belonged to Francisco Tárrega. The aesthetics is superb and the workmanship (rosette, purfling, etc.) is of a remarkable quality, elegant and of a refined style. The sound is round and deep, the trebles are clear, dense, the notes are silky, smooth, vibrant and colorful with a great harmonic richness. An instrument with a beautiful musical presence, lively and expressive, offering the guitarist a wide sound palette.
