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.
