Pavan TP-30-64 Cedar
The Pavan TP-30-64 is for players wanting a shorter string scale classical guitar. For players with small hands playing on a guitar that has a 650mm scale length/52mm nut width can be 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 Cedar.
Please listen to the sound samples and feel free to contact me with any questions!

The Pavan TP-30-64 model is available with a solid cedar or spruce top. The Pavan TP-30 has solid East Indian Rosewood sides and back, an ebony fretboard, a reinforced neck, bone nut and saddle, and a 640mm string scale.
Cedar soundboards are known for their warm sound. Cedar also brings out high-frequency overtones and partials which lends itself to a shimmering brightness, almost like a little bit of built-in reverb. 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.
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.
