Prudencio Saez Bandurria 170 + Estuche de Foam

Since the middle of the 20th century, Prudencio Saez has established itself as a reference in plucked string instruments, combining traditional methods with modern criteria of stability and ergonomics. Its catalog ranges from the Spanish studio guitar to the handcrafted concert instrument, always with very careful attention to adjustment, wood selection and natural acoustics.

The bandurria 170 is built entirely with solid woods: solid spruce top, which provides clarity and immediate response, and solid maple sides and back, chosen for its tonal transparency and projection capacity. The cedar neck provides lightness and stability, while the ebony fingerboard guarantees a precise and long-lasting touch; The bridge and rosewood profiles complete a robust and elegant set, with a moderate gloss lacquer finish that respects vibration. The short scale of around 275–280 mm and the brand’s typical oval mouth favor comfortable ergonomics and a very homogeneous distribution of tension.

The German spruce provides a quick response, with clear attack and great harmonic richness in strummed chords and arpeggios, while the flamed maple emphasizes the transparency and definition of each course, ideal for demanding plectrum repertoires. The result is a luminous tone, with clear mids, controlled bass and bright but never strident highs, offering a balanced projection that fills the room without losing detail in smooth dynamics. The feel to the touch is immediate and the sustain, although controlled, allows for singable phrasing and precise articulations, very close to the response of a professional concert guitar in bandurria format.

An instrument of this level invites you to rediscover each piece of the repertoire, from the first rehearsal at home to the most special occasions, becoming a stable and exciting companion for many years.
