Pavan TP-30-64 Spruce

$1,975.00

The Pavan TP-30-64 is for players wanting a shorter string scale classical guitar. Many players have small hands and playing on a guitar that has a 650mm or longer scale and a 52mm wide nut is difficult. Some players prefer a shorter string length just because the guitars are easier to play. The Pavan TP-30-64 comes with a 640mm string length and a 50mm nut width. In all other respects, it is the same as the TP-30 Spruce. Please listen to the sound samples and feel free to contact me with any questions!

Features of the Pavan TP-30

Listen to the Pavan TP-30 Spruce

The Pavan TP-30-64 has solid East Indian Rosewood sides and back, an ebony fretboard, a reinforced neck, bone nut and saddle, and a 640mm string scale.

Spruce soundboards are known for their clarity of tone and voice separation. This is because spruce tends to bring out the primary octave overtone, above the fundamental note you play. For example, if you play a G, the G, one octave above in the overtone series will be stronger than other partials. The clarity of spruce lends itself well to “contrapuntal/multiple voice counterpoint” music such as JS Bach. Guitarists play both spruce and cedar, it is really a personal preference as to which you may prefer. Please listen to the videos/sound samples.

The soundboards of the Pavan TP-30 are built in a custom shop where experienced guitar makers specialize in handcrafting each soundboard. The soundboard is left thicker in the bridge area of the lower bout and gradually gets thinner towards the sides. The bracing pattern uses a treble bar and 6-fan braces. This design gives a firm, clear, balanced tone with excellent responsiveness and beautiful tonal variation. This guitar is what I was striving for when starting Pavan Guitars. I wanted to offer an exceptional recital-quality guitar at an honest and accessible price for guitar players who were searching for an alternative to my more expensive concert hand-built guitars. 

When classical guitar players come to my shop to try out the Spanish guitars they are very impressed with the Pavan TP-20 model guitars but they end up purchasing the Pavan TP-30 guitar. The slight difference in sound makes a big difference to the experienced player.   

Presently I do not offer classical guitars priced higher than the Pavan TP-30 models.

If I were to offer a higher-priced model they would sound no better than the TP-30.  Only a guitar built by an excellent experienced luthier might sound better. I should know I am a Luthier and an accomplished classical guitarist.
