ARIZ-F

Flamenco

The Ariz-F,

the flamenco one.

Traditionally, but with a contemporary design. The last model of Riemersma Guitars is the Ariz-F. Inspired by the famous master luthiers of the flamenco world, but with a complete own vision regarding the braces on the top. This guitar has a nice warm bass with a long sustain and sparkling high that is uniform throughout the entire area. Of course, the guitar is equipped with a Golpeador to protect the top.

Sound

“Very nice guitar to play on, has a warm and fierce bass and a pointed high, responds very quickly to the fast flamenco beat.This guitar is equipped with a transparent golpeador for protection.”

“Riemersma creates a beautifully shaped instrument, which has been erected flawlessly and manually. In wood types he is experimental and in the sound box is the secret of the vocal bar structure, inspired by the Hauser formula. To get a balanced instrument with an intensive accent on the the E and A strings give a sound that you can compare with a fretless bass guitar, the overall balance, including the projection, has the look of a piano. I do not know that much sound from a classical guitar. “
