This article details Contemporary classical guitar instruments, technique, and repertoire.
Instrument
Modern concert guitars often, but by no means always, follow the Smallman design which replaces the spruce fan braces with a much lighter carbon fibre/balsa composite structure. The braces form a lattice pattern which allows the (now much thinner) sound board to support more vibrational modes. This leads to greater volume and longer sustain.
Greg Smallman, Matthias Dammann
