After the death of the latter, the “fratelli Vinaccia” took over his workshop at number 53 rue Catalana, perpetuating the family tradition and excellence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis instrument testifies to the maturity of the two makers and their constant search for innovation: It is, to our knowledge, one of only two designed with both a maple back and a Roman type head, which constitutes a double rarity for a Vinaccia instrument. In fact, maple, little represented on mandolins of this period, remains an expensive wood reserved for quartet instruments, the majority of mandolins being made of rosewood. The use of an “open-book” Roman head is also reserved for high-end instruments by fratelli, a signature adopted by the best luthiers such as Del Perugia and Calace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis mandolin, in superb condition (top without slot) and integrity, bears a signed label, an original ebony fingerboard and hardware, with the exception of the bridge which is a modern copy of the original bridge. This one, made of rosewood and perfectly adjusted to the instrument, helps to restore its original voice at the same time as a low action. Maple brings a warm, malleable sound to the instrument that the musician can shape. The mandolin is delivered fully tuned, with oiled and functional tuners, mounted with Thomastik Präzision flat wound strings which emphasize a rounded, well-balanced and defined sound in all registers. No additional costs are expected.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithout embellishment, this instrument resolutely targets the musician, with a perfectly executed bowl and thick plating, qualities also highlighted by the perfectly placed purfling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It is possible for you to upgrade this orchestral instrument into a solo instrument at a lower cost by extending the last frets to create a concert touch which would rest on the table. However, our philosophy is to return each instrument to a condition as close as possible to that on the day of its conception and to restore its original historical state as much as possible, so we do

Emanuele Egildo Model B Concert Mandolin","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEgildo Emanuele (1866-1955) would have been an Italian disciple of Luigi Embergher, but unlike the latter he would have spent his entire career as a luthier in France from the dawn of the 20th century, with the exception of his supposed apprenticeship at Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Indeed, Emanuele shows throughout his production, from 1899 to the end of the 1940s, an in-depth knowledge of Embergher's instruments as well as the latter's theoretical research. However, if he takes the model of his instruments, he does not copy them slavishly, seeking to develop a more condensed range, between quality requirements and reasonable prices \u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e His hand, nonetheless different from that of Embergher, does not exclude a powerful personality which pierces through all his instruments: mandolins above all, but also bandurrias and guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIts bias is to offer more than Embergher for a lower price, thanks to certain concessions on decorations and finishes, often less precise, but with a superior choice of wood on intermediate instruments and small instruments. It is for this reason that he is rightly nicknamed “the French Embergher”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Here, this beautiful mandolin from 1914 \u003cspan\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e bearing the number 687, is a model B (A being reserved for mandolins with Lombard head and C for entry-level to intermediate mandolins), entirely original, signed inside, in its most high-end version\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e: with reinforcements, an interior varnish, an ornate plate, a compensated bridge with a bone nut and a table edged with mother-of-pearl pistagnes, which corresponds to the Embergher model 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eCertainly made to order for an orchestral soloist, this instrument features a unique headstock veneered with rosewood and inlaid with mother-of-pearl by Emanuele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This mandolin has 29 ribs of superb rosewood, used by Emanuele for less than 1 instrument out of 15, mostly preferring maple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The sound is therefore particularly projected and sonorous, in the bass as in the treble, also thanks to a hollowed out key according to the patent of Giovanni Battista Maldura, which Embergher also used successfully for his own mandolins \u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"

Unlike the latter, he would have carried out his entire career as a luthier in France from the beginning of the 20th century, with the exception of his presumed apprenticeship in Rome. Throughout his production, from 1899 to the late 1940s, Emanuele is said to have shown extensive knowledge of Embergher's instruments as well as his theoretical research. Although he uses the model of his instruments, he would seek to develop a more concise range, combining quality and affordable prices. His hand, while different from Embergher's, is said to reflect a powerful personality that comes through in all of his instruments, including mandolins, bandurrias and guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWe also note that he was very familiar with the great Roman masters of the mandolin such as De Santis or Maldura, from whom he adopted the hollowed-out key system and its patented bridges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eEmanuele would thus have chosen to offer instruments offering more than Embergher at a lower price by making certain concessions on decorations and finishes, often less precise, but with a superior selection of wood for entry-level and intermediate instruments. It is for this reason that he would be nicknamed “the French Embergher”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Here is a C model with 18 ribs in maple and a top in a very beautiful spruce with an ebony plate with a compensated bridge in ebony as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This model also features a hollowed out key patented by Maldura.

However, he was not only a virtuoso, but also developed a deep interest in violin making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e At that time, the mandolin was mainly used as an accompanying instrument in musical ensembles.

He developed new playing techniques and explored the expressive possibilities of the mandolin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBut Calace didn't stop there. He also brought major innovations to mandolin violin making. He simplified the construction of the instrument, making its mass production easier. He also invented new variations of the mandolin, such as the mandolyra and the cantabile lute, which offered new sounds and musical possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Calace's impact on the mandolin was immense. His work helped elevate the instrument's status from a simple accompaniment to a respected solo instrument. His virtuosity and his compositions have also inspired many other musicians and composers to explore the possibilities of the mandolin. Thus his influence on the mandolin and music in general remains undeniable, making him one of the most significant figures of the history of this instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this dynamic, it is notable that Calace was also very gifted in commerce.

Between 1931 and 1943, he distinguished himself by the production of Selmer-type guitars, famous for their rich aesthetic and their ornaments inspired by banjos and accordions.
