Larrivee’s
Traditional Series was created with two things in mind: create an instrument
with traditional 'vintage' features like a flat-top headstock, hand-carved
volute, and diamond inlays, while maintaining the unique tonal balance of the
standard Larrivée symmetrical parabolic bracing system. An enlarged soundhole
allows significantly greater mid-range punch, emphasizing the low end, and
increasing overall volume. This 50 Series features Larrivee’s highest grade
mahogany*, herringbone trim and traditional angled bone nut. The casted bronze
open-back tuners feature engraved design work by Wendy Larrivée, one of the
many fine details that put this series in a category of their own.
*Larrivee’s
mahogany is FSC certified Khaya, also known as African Mahogany or Tropical
Mahogany.
