The Nantel Verdict
Solid tonewood construction for rich, resonant tone improving with age. Responsive top rewarding dynamic playing and fingerstyle technique. Natural acoustic voice connecting player to music without electronic barrier. Quality construction built for years of regular playing.
Keep this instrument at 45-55% humidity and play it every day. In a year, the tone will surpass anything new off the shelf.
