Presentation
In the history of gypsy jazz, certain shapes are instantly recognisable. The Selmer-Maccaferri is one of those instruments that have become emblematic, carried notably by Django Reinhardt's playing since the 1930s. The Altamira M Left Handed takes up this heritage in a version designed from the outset for left-handed guitarists, with the feel and character expected of a real Gypsy guitar.
Its traditional format retains the elements that contribute to its sonic identity. The solid European spruce top provides a fast attack and great clarity, helping chords to stay defined when playing rhythmically. The maple back and sides provide a direct, controlled response, with a projection that easily finds its place in an acoustic ensemble.
Designed as a reliable everyday instrument, this version also boasts a lightweight construction that remains comfortable over long playing sessions. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard have a fluid feel, while the 670 mm pitch contributes to the typical gypsy jazz response.
Traditional pompe, acoustic swing and solo phrasing find their natural home here. Accessible to musicians new to this world, while retaining the character expected by more advanced players, the M Left Handed seeks above all to rediscover that dry, percussive, lively Gypsy sound. The included case makes it easy to travel between lessons, rehearsals and concerts.
