Manuel Adalid (b. 1951) is a second generation luthier, and head luthier at Esteve. He is widely respected in Spain as among the most experimental and innovative guitar makers in Spain. Although the Esteve makes production guitars, Manuel Adalid maintains his own workshop within Esteve, where he carries on experiments and personally makes the guitars that he sells under his own name. The Viviana concert classical guitar is a model that Manuel Adalid has designed to our specifications and builds for us exclusively. It offers a concert quality sound at an affordable price. It is impeccably made-- and has the characteristics that professional players demand: balance, evenness, true intonation, responsiveness, a great pallet of color, power, projection, and refinement. The basses are firm and quick. The trebles have great clarity, good body, and focused, polished, lively, and sing very nicely.
