Noemi Schembri Classical Model N-CR Crossover
Noemi Schembri werd in 1983 geboren in San Cataldo, Italië. In 2011 verhuisde Noemi naar Canada om daar in de leer te gaan bij meesterbouwer Sergei de Jonge in de werkplaats waar ze in 5 maanden de volledige cursus doorliep. Ze maakte zowel staal- als nylonsnarige gitaren, werkte aan haar eigen creaties en verbeterde haar techniek en stijl. Sergei ziet haar als een van zijn allerbeste leerlingen.
Onnodig te zeggen dat we onder indruk zijn van de klank van Noemi gitaren. We hebben al regelmatig klassieke gitaren van haar mogen ontvangen, maar op ons verzoek heeft ze haar crossover-fusion model herzien en opnieuw gemodelleerd. Dit is dan ook een volledig nieuw model, en we zijn meer dan onder de indruk van de kwaliteiten en looks van de gitaar.
Dit crossover model is uitgevoerd met Indiaas palissander achter- en zijkant en een ceder bovenblad. Hij slaat een mooie brug tussen de klassieke en western gitaarwerelden. Zo heeft deze gitaar een brede 48mm topkam en 650mm mensuur maar heeft hij, in tegenstelling tot veel klassieke modellen, 14 frets tot de body, een cutaway en 16" - 20" compound toets-radius, wat de speelbaarheid zeer ten goede komt.
De fraaie looks, en indrukwekkende klankkwaliteiten en fijne bespeelbaarheid maken dat deze gitaar zeer aantrekkelijk is voor hen die Jazz of Bossa Nova in hun speelstijl opgenomen hebben. Een crossover van de bovenste plank!
Noemi Schembri was born in San Cataldo, Italy, in 1983. In 2011, Noemi moved to Canada to apprentice with master luthier Sergei de Jonge in the workshop where she went through the full course in 5 months. She made both steel- and nylon-string guitars, working on her own creations and improving her technique and style. Sergei considers her one of his very best students.
Needless to say, we are impressed by the sound of Noemi guitars. We have already had regular classical guitars from her, but at our request, she revised and remodelled her crossover-fusion model. This is therefore a completely new model, and we are more than heavily impressed with the guitar's qualities and looks.
This crossover model features Indian rosewood back and sides and a cedar top. This crossover strikes a nice bridge between the classical and western guitar worlds. For instance, this guitar has a wide 48mm nut and 650mm scale but, unlike many classical models, it has 14 frets to the body, a cutaway and 16" - 20" compound fingerboard radius, which greatly enhance the playability.
The beautiful looks, and impressive sound qualities and fine playability make this guitar very attractive for those who have incorporated Jazz or Bossa Nova into their playing style. A crossover of the highest order.
