"A TRIBUTE TO ANTONIO DE TORRES"
Papier Machè: the guitar built with back and sides in cardboard (paper).
Listening "in the dark" is an evocative and unusual experience, being able to listen to a musician live without seeing him;
generally at concerts the artist's presence captures attention and at times, paradoxically, distracts it from the sound.
Even knowing which instrument he is using affects our listening.
This is in no way intended to be a comparative test.
We therefore ask you to concentrate exclusively on the sensations that the sound of the instruments generates in you.
The two instruments, in addition to the copy Papier Machè, are two historic guitars by luthiers of great historical importance, one from 1917 and the other from 1929.
Soon we will insert the link to the concert where you can see and listen to copy PapierMâché!
