Description
The Torres is defined by its asymmetrically weighted domed soundboard. This is the perfect instrument for an advanced student with its professional performance but mid-range price. It shares exactly the same soundboard wood and construction as the more expensive HE and 1A models but has a natural protective finish.
The “Torres” from Hanika’s Professional Line has a premium quality soundboard which is domed and fan braced.
