Gear Review: La Cañada Model 115 is a Fine New Guitar Based on an Antonio de Torres Classic


DEMONSTRATED BY MARC TEICHOLZ

The German luthier Edmund Blöchinger is one of the great living guitar makers, and virtuosos no less esteemed than Pepe and Celin Romero have championed his instruments. If you are among those fortunate enough to acquire one of his instruments—he makes only 10 per year, and his only dealer is Guitar Salon International—you will have paid well into five figures.

But if that sum is far beyond your means, a collaboration between Blöchinger and Wolfgang Jellinghaus, who presides over the Milestones of Music guitar workshop in China, has resulted in instruments that are much more affordable: the La Cañada line. Guitars under the La Cañada name include the Model 17, which is based on an 1864 Torres, and the Model 115, inspired by an 1888 Torres. I auditioned the latter and was as impressed by its build-quality as by its handsome voice and easy playability.
