Based in Bouzonville near Metz (north-eastern France), Tino Battiston first trained as a cabinet-maker, and was then apprenticed to Master luthier Kazuo Sato.
This Madagascar rosewood model has a three-part saddle.
On the one hand, its dense back and sides, its arched back give this guitar a sturdy, down-to-earth structure and character. On the other hand, its light and vibrating top faces heaven and hankers for heavenliness.
The same harmony is to be found in its minimalist/ spare aesthetics. Soundwise, the guitar is powerful and projective; it produces a round, full, generous, well-balanced sound with coloured, well-separated notes that sing and fill the space.
Playing can easily be modulated thanks to the instrument's reactive, supple and dynamic response. This flexibility and a well-drawn neck make it both pleasant and easy to play.
