Description
Traditional Flamenco Response with Added Tonal Depth
The Kremona Flamenco Series Rosa Artista flamenco guitar is designed for players who need fast response, clear articulation, and strong rhythmic control. It follows traditional flamenco design principles while offering a slightly broader tonal character than a classic blanca.
The guitar responds quickly under the right hand and supports percussive techniques with ease. It also provides enough tonal body to support melodic passages and solo playing without losing clarity.
Fast Attack and Clear Articulation
A solid spruce top gives the Rosa Artista its quick attack and focused response. Spruce allows notes to speak clearly with minimal effort, which is essential for flamenco technique. The top stays controlled when played hard and remains responsive at lighter dynamics.
Patagonian rosewood back and sides add harmonic depth without blurring note separation. Compared to traditional cypress, rosewood introduces a slightly fuller voice while preserving the articulation flamenco players rely on.
A modified fan bracing pattern supports this balance. It encourages fast response across the range while keeping the bass tight and defined.
Comfortable Feel and Traditional Geometry
The Rosa Artista uses a traditional 650mm scale length and a 52mm nut width. This spacing supports established flamenco technique and helps maintain accuracy during fast passages. Bone at the nut and saddle improves clarity and energy transfer.
A Honduras cedar neck provides stability and a comfortable feel. The ebony fingerboard adds durability and definition, especially during fast left-hand work. Together, these features create a playing experience that feels predictable and responsive.
Refined Flamenco Aesthetics
The Rosa Artista features dyed and natural maple purfling and a hand-inlaid wooden rosette. These details add character without distracting from the instrument’s purpose.
A poly gloss finish protects the guitar while preserving its lively response. Gold tuning machines with black buttons offer smooth, reliable tuning. A transparent golpeador protects the soundboard during percussive playing.
Practical for Performance and Long-Term Use
The Rosa Artista is built as an acoustic flamenco guitar with no electronics installed. This keeps the instrument’s natural response intact. Electronics package upgrades are available for players who need amplification.
The guitar ships in a Kremona hardshell case to ensure proper protection during transport and storage.
This Guitar Is For
The Rosa Artista suits flamenco players who want traditional speed and articulation with a slightly richer tonal character. It also works well for classical players moving into flamenco who prefer added depth without sacrificing clarity or response.
