Concert Classical Guitars

Toby Rzepka concert classical guitars are built to answer the ever-increasing demands of today's performers, balancing projection, clarity, sustain, tone quality and response. Building on the legacy of the master guitar makers of the 19th, 20th and 21st Centuries, I will design a guitar around your specific playing style and aesthetic preferences.

Testimonials

"My new guitar is stunning! Loud and sweet, and the rosewood is gorgeous. Impeccable workmanship, and acoustic “attitude” that is hard to find. The trebles are punchy and pure, and certain things that gave me real trouble just seem a little easier. "

"Cory, my son (and student of Jason Vieaux at the Cleveland Institute of Music) and I just got back from the Guitar Foundation of America Convention in Austin. I probably played more than twenty concert instruments, made by major makers from around the world, most in the high price range. Some of the instruments were very fine, but none of them completely satisfied me the way your instrument does. The sound of yours is incredibly beautiful and musical, with a long sustain and substantial sound across the whole range, producing many colors and intensities in response to different touches.

The balance and clarity of the voicing is remarkable and the volume literally blew people away at the convention. And the set up is perfect! It's one of the easiest guitars to play, yet it can be played very loudly without buzzing or distorting. The thing that sticks in my mind after attending the convention is how outstanding and distinctive the instrument you made for us is. Thanks so much for making such a wonderful guitar for us."

"Thanks for the excellent guitar! Since I came home with [it] I am a little deprived of sleep and personal time, but it's worth it. The sound is so beautiful that I often lose track of time."

"Cole's guitar arrived on Friday and he's been totally thrilled with it. He played it for hours and hours over the weekend. It's a wonderful sounding instrument. So lively, articulate and sweet sounding. I am sure he'll have many years of satisfied playing with his new guitar. "
