True strength under these strings. Dake Traphagen’s Double Tops have all the added power of a laminated top plate, but without losing any of the warmth, color, and dynamism of a standard top. This model, dubbed “Joya,” from 2013? Fantastically precise, powerful, and elegant. The back and sides are upgraded, heirloom grade 250-year-old Brazilian Rosewood, here paired with a Cedar double top. French polished for maximum resonance and weighing in about 3.5lbs, this Traphagen is a livewire Classical that is so easy to lose yourself in. 12-hole tieback looks gorgeous and complements the scalloped saddle and nut, plus Dake adorned the soundhole with a gorgeous Burl rosette, in lieu of a traditional mosaic. This is a world class Concert instrument that exudes inspiration. What more could you ask for?
