The Corsalini Guitars Grand Auditorium is designed to offer superior sound projection and a more energetic response, while maintaining the balance and comfort that distinguish every one of our creations.
Sound Character
Thanks to a body slightly larger than the Model F, this model develops a higher volume of air. The result is a wide sound projection with more pronounced lows, ideal for those who love strumming and accompaniment, without sacrificing the definition necessary for the most expressive fingerstyle.
Design / Ergonomics
Despite its dimensions, the Grand Auditorium remains an extremely comfortable instrument. Its versatility allows it to span different playing styles, always offering accurate frequency balancing and controlled dynamic response.
Technical Specifications / Customizations
Each Grand Auditorium is a unique piece, fully customizable to meet the musician’s needs.
- Costruction: Entirely handmade with selected materials.
- Tuners: Gotoh 510 for professional tuning stability.
- Premium Options:
- Multiscale (Fanned Frets): For optimal string tension and superior tonal definition, ideal for open tunings.
- Arm Bevel: The ergonomic bevel for maximum arm comfort.
- Florentine Cutaway: For easy access to the higher frets.
Grand Auditorium Short Scale
The Equilibrium of Pure Form
La versatilità prende forma
The Grand Auditorium Short Scale is designed for the musician seeking maximum comfort without sacrificing the typical projection of a GA body. The shorter scale length reduces string tension, offering incredibly soft playability and a warm tone rich in harmonics. It is the ideal choice for those who want a ‘parlor’ feel but with the volume and presence of a great concert guitar.
- PLAYING COMFORT: The short scale reduces finger tension, making bending and complex fingerstyle positions easier.
- SWEET AND WARM TONE: A less ‘tense’ sound response that favors rounded notes and rich midrange.
- DYNAMIC RESPONSIVENESS: Despite its softness, the Grand Auditorium body ensures that every nuance of the touch is amplified with extreme fidelity
“The Grand Auditorium Short Scale is not just an instrument: it is a versatile traveling companion, capable of adapting to any playing style with elegance and power.”
