INFORMATION

Panormo used the fan-shaped vocal bar pattern inspired by early Spanish guitars. The headstock design was also based on French and Spanish guitars. Panomo’s design of the bridge was purely French. His instruments, however, are immediately recognizable as his. They are generally warmer in tone than a modern classical guitar and are still often reproduced by contemporary builders.
