Chen is a direct student of Andrea Tacchi and brings a rare level of refinement to both the visual vocabulary and the tonal architecture of Tacchi’s celebrated Coclea designs. The result is a guitar that is powerful, colorful, responsive, and unmistakably artistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003eThe top features Tacchi’s iconic composite layout with a central spruce section and cedar wings. The back and sides are wenge, chosen for its density and dramatic appearance. Everything about this instrument reflects meticulous care. The joinery between the top sections is seamless. The raised fingerboard improves upper-fret access. The rosette and bridge mosaics are executed with inordinate precision and creativity. Barnett tuners with dark rollers and engraved plates complete the look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"2033\"\u003eSonically, this guitar has the richness and immediacy that players love in Tacchi’s work. The tone is bold and full with a wide color range, a strong fundamental, and a generous sustain that makes lyrical and romantic repertoire feel effortless. Despite the power on tap, the guitar has an impressive sensitivity at low dynamics. It feels like a true gentle giant, equally comfortable with Spanish repertoire, Bach, modern works, or anything requiring clarity and warmth without restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2146\"\u003eThis is Chen’s latest and finest expression of the Coclea Thucea concept. A work of art visually and musically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2148\" data-end=\"2151\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2153\" data-end=\"2168\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2580\"\u003eTop: Composite layout with European spruce center and cedar outer wings\u003cbr data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2243\"\u003eBack and Sides: Wenge\u003cbr data-start=\"2264\" data-end=\"2267\"\u003eScale Length: 650 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2290\"\u003eNut Width: 52 mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2306\" data-end=\"2309\"\u003eFingerboard: Raised ebony fingerboard\u003cbr data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2349\"\u003eTuners: Barnett tuners with dark rollers and engraved plates\u003cbr data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2412\"\u003eNeck Profile: Comfortable C shape\u003cbr data-start=\"2445\" data-end=\"2448\"\u003eFinish: French polish\u003cbr data-start=\"2469\" data-end=\"2472\"\u003eCondition: Mint, straight from the maker\u003cbr data-start=\"2512\" data-end=\"2515\"\u003eModel Reference: Coclea Thucea Fibonacci, homage to Andrea Tacchi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2582\" data-end=\"2585\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2610\"\u003eTone and Playability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2611\" data-end=\"3011\"\u003eThe guitar has a powerful, full, and rich sound that rewards a strong right hand while retaining remarkable sensitivity under quieter dynamics. Basses are fat and punchy with great depth. Trebles are chimey, clear, and sustained. The blend of spruce and cedar may contribute to the remarkable balance of warmth and sparkle, although the overall cohesion comes from the craft as much as the materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3013\" data-end=\"3386\"\u003eChords sustain generously and create a secure, grounded feeling. The instrument never pushes the player toward one tonal approach. Instead, it invites everything from Spanish lyricism to crystalline counterpoint. Many modern guitars limit where and how you can attack to avoid congestion. This guitar does not impose those limits. It feels open and honest in all registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3388\" data-end=\"3391\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3393\" data-end=\"3416\"\u003eAesthetic Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3417\" data-end=\"3944\"\u003e• Enormously detailed rosette inspired by Tacchi design language, including traditional wheat motifs, intricate mosaic patterns, and accents that resemble gold, red marble, and blue marble\u003cbr data-start=\"3605\" data-end=\"3608\"\u003e• Beautifully shaped bridge with geometric mosaic inlays and a dark saddle surround\u003cbr data-start=\"3691\" data-end=\"3694\"\u003e• Raised fingerboard for improved reach\u003cbr data-start=\"3733\" data-end=\"3736\"\u003e• Elegant wenge back and sides with dramatic figuring\u003cbr data-start=\"3789\" data-end=\"3792\"\u003e• Barnett tuners with engraved plates and dark mother of pearl style buttons\u003cbr data-start=\"3868\" data-end=\"3871\"\u003e• Simple and tasteful label noting the homage to Tacchi and the year 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3946\" data-end=\"3949\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3951\" data-end=\"3963\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3964\" data-end=\"4032\"\u003eMint conition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"4034\" data-end=\"4037\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4039\" data-end=\"4304\"\u003eIf you are looking for a guitar that is equally a musical tool and a visual showpiece, this Coclea Thucea Fibonacci is an exceptional opportunity.
