Main Photo	Alan de Jonge Concert Classical Alan de Jonge, Sergei's fourth child, has been building instruments his entire life, and has earned the reputation as a fine builder in his own right. His instruments are constructed following Sergei de Jonge's patterns, but have evolved as Alan has incorporated details of his own design philosophy into his instruments. This guitar is expertly French polished, and flawlessly built. It features a German Spruce top and Indian rosewood back and side set. The fingerboard is ebony, and the bridge is Brazilian rosewood. The body is bound in curly Spanish cedar, and purfled with Padauk bordered by maple and ebony. A very light and resonant instrument with wonderful projection. 51.5 mm nut, 650 mm scale.

Main Photo	2003 Sergei de Jonge 7 string Cut-Away Concert Classical Sergei de Jonge has long been known as one of Canada's finest classical guitar builders. Since his first guitars built in Jean Larrivee's original Toronto shop at the start of the 1970's Sergei has built more than a thousand instruments, most of them concert quality classical guitars. Presented here is a very gently used Concert 7 string classical. This fine guitar features a French-polished lattice-braced German spruce top, and an exquisite quarter-sawn Brazilian rosewood side and back set. A one-piece mahogany neck is set to the body with a tasteful and remarkably comfortable flush Venetian cut-away. The fingerboard is ebony, and the de Jonge trademark carved bridge is of matching lacquered Brazilian rosewood. The instrument is attractively bound in Bolivian Rosewood and purfled with matching Padauk between alternating maple and ebony strips. The Rosette is of spalted boxwood and is similarly purfled. 57mm nut width, and a scale length of 650 mm. Fine sound and playablity. Sold with deluxe hard shell case.
