Description

One of the most traditional models in Giannini's history, the Trovador was released in the 70s, as a continuation of the Study Series launched at the end of the previous decade. During the 80s, the line diversified and began to include violas, cavaquinhos and children's guitars, which transformed the Trovador not only into a sales record holder, but also into one of the most famous (and recognizable) names associated with our brand.

The reissue updates the materials used in its manufacture (woods such as Brazilian Cedro, Marupá and Pau-Ferro, also present in other Giannini products manufactured in Brazil), at the same time that it rescues the fundamental concern in combining excellence and economy – a characteristic that transformed the Trovador into an eternal classic and a reference musical instrument with the face of Brazil.

In addition to the affordable price and unique quality, the new Trovador features a Marupá solid top, Brazilian Cedar back and sides, Pau-Ferro fingerboard on a 48mm neck and a satin finish. An instrument so good that it will please even the most experienced musicians.

The Trovador electro acoustic version brings the GN-3T eq,with 3 bands and tuner.

The woods

Marupá

It has excellent sound speed and an articulate tone, with dominant midranges (i.e., good treble and balanced bass). Used as a substitute for Spruce in the tops of acoustic instruments, and for Maple or Poplar in solid bodies. As it is a typical tree of floodplain forests, Marupá is common to be found in the Amazon region. With low density and grain, without visible veins (white-yellowish predominance in color), medium to coarse texture, it is easy to work with, dries quickly and allows for a good finish.

Brazilian Cedar

Widely used in solid instruments, due to its lightness and stability. The sound provided by Brazilian Cedro is characterized by a deeper and velvety tone, excellent bright definition (as it is not very resinous), good projection and sustain. Natural wood from open forests and fields with a hot/humid climate, widely distributed in the North region, mainly in the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia. It has low density, medium to thick texture, pinkish-beige color, and veins forming smooth regular designs.

Pau-Ferro

Used in acoustic instruments and in the creation of fingerboards and bridges. It produces pieces with good sound, beautiful finishing and excellent sustain, with a brighter tone than Rosewood, but which manages to retain the warmth for which Rosewood is celebrated. Its color varies from light yellowish brown to brownish brown, with dark veins forming characteristic and exotic irregular designs. Known for its rigidity, moderately light and very durable, Pau-Ferro is found in Goiás, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Paraná states.
