Altamira - M10D EN + Étui

The Altamira M10D EN is part of the world of Gypsy jazz, with a sound personality that makes no attempt to hide itself. From the very first notes, there's a straightforward attack, a sound that comes out quickly and is full-bodied, ideal for rhythmic pick playing and freer solo phrases.

The playing sensation is immediate: it responds quickly under the right hand, with a real ability to carry the rhythm without forcing it. It's typically the kind of guitar that takes its place naturally in an acoustic ensemble, especially in swing or gypsy accompaniment.

The solid European spruce top brings clarity and precision to the attack, with well-defined notes. The solid mahogany body adds a more woody warmth, preventing the sound from becoming too dry and adding a little roundness in the mid-range.

The large D-shaped rosette also plays an important role: the sound comes through more directly, with a projection that really helps to convey rhythmic playing and accents.

The African mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide good stability under the fingers, with a comfort level suited to both fast rhythmic and more melodic passages. The 670 mm tuning fork retains the tension typical of the style.

Supplied with a hard case, the M10D EN is ready for the stage, rehearsals or pure acoustic playing, with an assertive, lively character.
