Altamira Manouche M Small Mouth

It was in 1932 that Selmer joined forces with Italian guitarist and luthier Mario Maccaferri to produce a range of acoustic guitars based on the unorthodox design. Although the Maccaferri / Selmer association ended in 1934, the company continued to manufacture several models of this guitar until 1952. The guitar was closely associated with jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. This type of guitar has been reproduced by many brands around the world. The Manouches Altamira guitars are excellent guitars with a very rich sound as well as an excellent quality / price ratio, they are made from premium quality aged woods and from sustainable development, such as German spruce, Spanish cedar, Indian rosewood, Central American cocobolo and Canadian maple.
