After my experience crafting the Tangier models, the next step felt natural\u2014and the result exceeded my expectations. This instrument reminds me of the softness of sand under an unlikely pair of skis carving its surface.\u201d<strong>\u2026 Let\u2019s Play<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The size of the fingerboard at the nut and at the 12th fret, together with the rather flat radius, guarantee wide-ranging playability without limitations of any kind. The philosophy and setup of the instrument aims to provide the musician with an extremely versatile guitar suitable for every use and every musical genre.<\/p>\n<p>All the models presented on these pages are entirely hand-built by luthier Emanuele D&#8217;Al\u00f2, owner of the Shank Instruments Milano brand.
