WHO ARE WE AND WHY FOCUS ON MULTI-STRING GUITARS
Laudarra is derived from the Spanish words laud - lute and guitarra - guitar. By Multi-string guitar we mean any guitar that has more than 6 strings.
Laudarra Guitars was started in August 2011 by Peter Mony a classical guitar enthusiast in Sydney, Australia.
After selling my specialist electronic manufacturing business I decided to indulge my hobby and passion for the guitar. 10 string guitar struck the right note.
Although relegated in the past to somewhat of a fringe, in the last 5 years there has been a surge of interest across genres with some talented players and innovative instruments appearing on the scene. With the advent of luthier Neris Gonzalez’s philosophy to make good value instruments more easily available, owning and playing a multi string guitar is now easy, immensely satisfying and really affordable. From where I sit its sounds just great.
What will we do?
Laudarra will be involved all aspects of the ‘multi-string’ sub-genre and foster its recognition and consideration.
