Martin Proteau is a Canadian maker who was trained at the Ecole de Luthierie Artisique du Noroit. Although the neck profile is modern, this guitar is based on an 1865 Torres design, with 7 fan braces. According to the owner,  this guitar has a very pure classical tone, perfect intonation, and balance between trebles and basses. With the exception of nail marks on the top, the guitar is in excellent condition. It is set up to normal classical standards, and there is plenty saddle should one ever need or desire to adjust the action. This guitar is in Canada so the price is expressed in Canadian dollars.
