Built with Smallman’s signature lattice bracing and carbon reinforcement, it delivers extraordinary power, responsiveness, and dynamic range, while remaining highly sensitive under the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"614\"\u003ePreviously owned by French concert artist Emmanuel Rossfelder, this instrument represents the kind of performance-focused build that has made Smallman guitars a mainstay on the international stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"619\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"644\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"644\"\u003eSound \u0026amp; Playability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"893\"\u003eThis guitar embodies the defining qualities that have made Smallman instruments so widely used on the concert stage. It is exceptionally loud, with effortless projection and one of the most expansive dynamic ranges available in a classical guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003eBeyond sheer volume, what stands out is the level of control and expressive potential. The guitar responds immediately to even the lightest touch, allowing for true pianissimo playing while retaining the ability to scale up dramatically without losing clarity. The sustain, particularly in the basses, is remarkable, with a piano-like quality that supports long musical lines and rich textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003eAs with many Smallman guitars, there is a learning curve. The instrument rewards a more refined, efficient approach rather than force, and players who adapt to its response will find a wide palette of colors and a uniquely flexible sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eThe neck profile is distinctly C-shaped with a slightly fuller feel, offering a secure and substantial grip that pairs well with a low setup. The adjustable neck system allows real-time changes to the action, providing unusual flexibility in both feel and tonal response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"2004\"\u003eCurrently strung with D’Addario XTC45FF (carbon G and B) with a high tension nylon first string, a combination that complements the guitar’s clarity and sustain while preserving warmth in the trebles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2006\" data-end=\"2009\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2020\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2020\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2345\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2032\"\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greg Smallman \u0026amp; Sons\u003cbr data-start=\"2053\" data-end=\"2056\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2065\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003cbr data-start=\"2070\" data-end=\"2073\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2088\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex Emmanuel Rossfelder\u003cbr data-start=\"2111\" data-end=\"2114\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedar\u003cbr data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2131\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2150\"\u003eBack and sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madagascar rosewood (laminated)\u003cbr data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2185\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2194\"\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2206\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2223\"\u003eScale length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 650mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2229\" data-end=\"2232\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2232\" data-end=\"2246\"\u003eNut width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2251\" data-end=\"2254\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003eString spacing at bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59.5mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2293\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2293\" data-end=\"2304\"\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graf, Artist Line “Landstorfer Rococo”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2347\" data-end=\"2350\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2364\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2364\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2366\" data-end=\"2473\"\u003eKarura carbon fiber case (white exterior, red velvet interior)\u003cbr data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2431\"\u003eOriginal Smallman action adjustment tool\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2475\" data-end=\"2478\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2480\" data-end=\"2493\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2480\" data-end=\"2493\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2747\"\u003eVery good overall.
