Classical & Flamenco Guitars
Michael Batell, Instrument Maker
Introduction
Michael Batell classical guitars are concert instruments designed for the demands of professional performing and recording guitarists, students at conservatory level, and serious amateurs and collectors. They are constructed according to a considered integration of traditional aesthetics and design with modern and often innovative methods and techniques. My guitars have always been constructed in the traditional Spanish method, with tonality and aesthetics influenced by the greatest guitar makers of Spain - Manuel Ramirez, Santos Hernandez, Antonio de Torres, and many more.

This instrument, while constructed in the Spanish tradition after a Santos Hernandez of 1931, incorporates new features in the evolution of the modern guitar, including double-top construction, elevated fingerboard and tornavoz. Its response is explosive, with exceptional power, clarity, and ease of playing.
This guitar will be exhibited in Paris at Paris Guitar Days in October, at Osnabrück Guitar Festival in October and at Hanse (Hamburg) Guitar Festival in November. It is also available for sale at this time.
The guitar will be recorded soon in my studio and a video published here and in YouTube.
