Kremona

Sofia S53C is named that way for two reasons. The first one is the scale length, which measures 53 centimeters in length, or 20-4/5". And the second is that it`s a Sofia model made of sapele and cedar. Sofia Sapele 53cm Cedar would be the full name. 20-4/5" scale is one of the shortest in the series, and also among all six-stringed classical guitars in the entire industry. It is both short and very rare. On the other side, sapele back and sides with cedar sound board on top is much more frequent. This model is bound in black, topped with a black pickguard and finished in gloss over the natural color. Neck is made of mahogany and it`s topped with a 19-fret rosewood fingerboard. Bridge is made of rosewood, as well.

HISTORY/OUR STORY

We are European handmade music instrument manufacturer and craft our instruments with love and care. We hope you decide to join the Kremona family by enjoying our beautiful instruments. Thank you for visiting our page. Our story is below...

At the conclusion of WW I-st a young soldier exited the fronts of Europe with his companion mandolin and earned an apprenticeship at the bench of the Markneukirchen masters.

He emerged among the league of master luthiers forged in that legendary German burg. That man – Dimitar Georgiev – returned home to Bulgaria, and in 1924, founded Kremona with his two entrepreneurial brothers.

Over time, the brothers welcomed other world-class master builders into the Kremona family. As Kremona instruments spread across Europe, discerning musicians everywhere became part of the extended family. Today, Kremona flourishes with that same family spirit. We chose to introduce our wares the way we’ve always done it, by putting our instruments in the hands of musicians, well-known distributors and caring shop owners, one guitar love at a time.

We’re pleased to find our efforts have been well worth it. Every day we hear from our extended family, players and purveyors from all over the world who, trough their love of music and enthusiasm for participation, have become part of what we are today. As we invite you to peruse this representation of our work (our family of guitars, if you will), we would like to thank YOU – our extended family of musicians, music educators and music professionals, for joining us in support of our commitment to the specialized craft and long tradition of guitar building.

Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
